Kings Park residents recently went back in time to the 1980's...

Activities Lead, Lauren, grabbed her bag, full of 80's memorabilia and took the residents back in time, for special 80's reminiscence session.

At a time when punk rockers ruled, the Rubik's Cube was the most wanted Christmas present, circular dial telephones were the norm and computers were huge - There was certainly plenty to talk about!

Reminiscence is something that our residents truly love to do. It really brings everyone together and gets everyone talking and sharing their stories.

What are your recollections of the 80's era?

We couldn't help but have a little chuckle recently, as the gorgeous Eric shared with us some of his wonderful words that he penned in good humour!

Too good not to share with the world, so just for you, here you are: -

How You Know When You're Getting Old...

Everything that works hurts,

and what doesn't hurt doesn't work.

You feel like the morning after,

and you haven't been anywhere.

Your little black book only contains names ending in M.D.

Your children are beginning to look middle-aged.

Your mind makes contracts your body can't keep.

You look forward to a dull evening.

Your knees buckle and your belt won't.

Your back goes out more than you do.

Thank you Eric!

Here at Kings Park recently we were celebrating all of our amazing ladies as well as those women who have inspired them the most...

International Women's Day as given everyone in our home the chance to stop, think about and appreciate all the incredible women who have inspired us growing up, allowing everyone to share their memories and stories of the people they have really been influenced by.

Here are a few of the residents and staff showing who they feel has been a real inspiration to them.

Who is your most inspirational woman?

The Kings Park residents recently got their weekly exercise in, by way of one of many of the Oomph Wellness on demand sessions...

With fantastic music, coupled with some gentle seated rhythmic dance & exercise movements, it was the perfect way for all to get fit.

After all, strengthening exercises, keep us all fitter & stronger for longer and here at Kings Park we are very keep to promote independence.

We recently welcomed the always fabulous, Nick Sellers to our home recently...

Nick, who is a firm favourite amongst all our lovely residents, always gets everyone joining in, singing along and even a movin' & a shakin' as he sings his own renditions of some of our favourite tunes.

He does everything from Tom Jones' Delilah, to I Dreamed a Dream from the hit musical, Les Misérables, which always go down a storm, even throwing in a bit of Elvis here and there! (Because, let's face it...Who doesn't love a bit of Elvis?!)

Thank you Nick, for a wonderful session yet again - we cannot wait to welcome you back to see us all again soon.
