Activities at Kings Park Care Home
Activities are an integral part of life at our care home. We want to ensure that the people we support have as much fun as possible during their time with us, so it’s important that our activities programme is created with the interests of residents in mind. Our skilled Activities Coordinators bring a certain uniqueness to the home that can’t be found anywhere else, and which is reflected in the activities they organise.
Claudia Canosa
Claudia moved to the UK from her native South Africa with her family some 6 years ago, although her family are of Italian decent.
With a caring nature, Claudia worked for a domiciliary care company helping in people in the community before eventually working in a care home environment, working up to the role of Senior Carer.
Realising how much she enjoyed making the residents smile, Claudia has now stepped into the role of Activities Lead here at Kings Park and very much loves the interaction with our residents, who have all taken a real shine to her.
Claudia can regularly be seen with our residents in a very creative capacity, enjoying flower arranging or leading everyone in a game of good old fashioned Bingo!
When at home, Claudia is a mother to two boys and a girl and also a pet mum to the the gorgeous, Molly - a Jack Russell cross.
She loves nothing more than curling up on the sofa in front of a good rom/com, with: The Holiday, The Lakehouse and The Notebook as some of her favourites to date.
We are so happy to have her as part of the Kings Park team.

Life at Kings Park Care Home
Kings Park Scrabble Team
A fantastic afternoon playing a game of scrabble against Steve, who brought his giant Scrabble board in for us.

Titanic Breaks Waves at Kings Park!
Sheila's daughter brought in her latest Lego build of the HMS Titanic.
Sheila & Eric were astonished to see the amount of Lego bricks that had gone into the structure and the details within the ship.
Keep Calm and Smell The Lavender
Everyone was very calm whilst making some lavender bags from some homegrown plants that were brought in by a resident’s daughter.
The scent made our home smell like an English Country Garden!
Music & Movement
We love ‘Music & Movement’ here at Kings Park.
Alongside the physical benefits, it's great fun as you can see from our faces!
Warm & Sunny Autumn Mornings
There’s no draughts here at Kings Park, apart from the board game variety!
What a lovely way to enjoy a sunny morning, playing a game of checkers in the Orangery overlooking our beautiful garden.
Thank you Jollife & Sons
Thank you very much to Ferndown’s AE Jollife & Son of Douch Family Funeral Directors for all the lovely hand crocheted and knitted blankets and twiddle mitts their Knit & Natter group have kindly made for our residents!
Although it’s certainly not cold here at Kings Park, a comfy lap blanket with a mug of hot chocolate is very welcome on these autumnal evenings.
