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
Happy Birthday Diana!
Chef baked a fabulous Chocolate Strawberry Gateau to celebrate Diana’s birthday today! And what a tasty treat it was too!
Please join us in wishing Diana a very Happy Birthday
Kings Park Rocks in Ferndown!
Recently in Art Club we painted these rocks, which have now been hidden around Ferndown for our local community to find and see!
How long will it be before they pop up in the Ferndown Rocks Facebook page?!
Happy Birthday Breada!
One of our residents, Vera, wanted to do something extra special for her daughter for her birthday on Saturday.
Here Vera is holding the card she made for Breada and what a talented artist she is!
We all hope you had a lovely and special day Breada, with best wishes from everyone at Kings Park!
Baking Day - Pat's Scones
Anyone for a cheese and chive scone?!
And what better way to enjoy the fruits of our labour than tucking into them while relaxing in the Gazebo! They were perfectly baked - light, fluffy and deliciously cheesy!
Rock Painting
Gardening doesn’t always involve plants! We have been decorating rocks by painting them and when they are dried, they will be placed around the garden for all to see and for visiting children to find.
Not just a therapeutic activity but also a calming way to spend a sunny afternoon out in the gardens.
Green Fingers
Green fingers made great work of planting up some tubs for our gardens over the weekend!
Supporting residents in activities they have always enjoyed is very important to us and gardening is also a great opportunity to chat about our favourite plants and how we have designed gardens in the past.
