Activities at Kings Park Care Home

Barchester are all about celebrating life...

However, here at Kings Park today we were not only celebrating life recently, but also all that our beautiful home has to offer!

It's was our open day and Deputy Manager, Sarah and Home Services Advisor, Rebekah were on stand-by to welcome new visitors into the home, where they could sample some delicious homemade treats and take a tour.

What a very busy and successful day it was - Pop by and see us sometime if you haven't already!

Residents who were around for this week's hairdressing appointments here in the home, will know that a certain someone was celebrating her special day in our company...

Our fabulous hairdresser, Carol, who regularly does an incredible job making our residents look a million dollars, was celebrating her birthday this week, so we were very pleased when our residents were able to surprise her with a special card and present as we also wished her many happy returns of the day.

Thank you, Carol - You are a star and we are so lucky to have you!

Residents here at Kings Park were loving the afternoon matinee recently...

After much discussion of what they wanted to watch, it was determined that a musical was the order of the day!

So after many options were given, they finally decided that 'The Sound of Music' was just the ticket to lift the spirits of us all.

True to form, it only took a few opening bars of the theme tune when the film started, as Julie Andrews appeared atop a mountain in the Austrian Alps, before there was a collective chorus of;  'The hills are alive with the sound of music....'

Just this opening scene caused many giggles & smiles amongst the residents.

Part way through, members of the Kings Park staff arrived with some extra special refreshments; a glass of sparkling fizz and some delicious cake - both were much appreciated by all.

What a fantastic afternoon of music, songs and merriment for all involved.

We may have seen this a few times, but it's appeal never gets old!

What's your favourite musical?

What a fantastic Easter we have had here at Kings Park...

We have had so many lovely family and friends in to see us over the Easter weekend, which we always enjoy here in the home.

Residents and guests helped to hunt out Easter eggs in our garden Easter egg hunt, which everyone loved.

With the Easter Bunny very tired after delivering so many eggs this year, we got a little help from some of the younger visitors to the home, who were on hand to deliver some special Easter treats to all our residents, much to their delight!

We were recently delighted to welcome the fabulous Tony Edwards to Kings Park to entertain our lovely residents and it was a packed lounge as word got out of his arrival...

All the home came together and thoroughly enjoyed Tony's session of music and reminiscence, as he interacted with everyone, sharing stories and memories as a group.

Thank you Tony, it was a fantastic session, really enjoyed by all!

Congratulations to Anne Doex on winning our fantastic Easter hamper. Your name was pulled out of our Easter basket today by our lovely resident Alan.

We hope you enjoy all of your lovely treats.

A huge thank you to everyone for entering our giveaway.

From all residents & staff here at Kings Park we wish you all a very Happy Easter.
