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.

Customer Experience Week at Kings Park
As part of ‘Customer Experience Week’, our Support Managers across Barchester all visited a home to say ‘hello’ to residents and the team and to get stuck into life in the home!
We were very thankful for Priscilla, our Divisional Hospitality Manager, who came and helped out our new Head Housekeeper, Claire, for a day. Residents also enjoyed meeting Priscilla.
Thank you very much!
Happy Birthday to Eric and….to us!
What a wonderful afternoon to celebrate two birthdays! We enjoyed a lovely buffet, live music from Retro Rita and not only one but two fabulous homemade cakes by our Chef, Wyn.
It was fabulous to be able to welcome families, friends, previous respite residents and people from our local community - thank you All for coming along!
Our Home Services Advisor, Lucy, was hoping to sing but Rita had already been warned about handing over the microphone!
Happy Birthday Eric and to Kings Park!
