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
Family Visits
It’s so lovely being able to welcome relatives and visitors back into care homes with much fewer restrictions since the beginning of the pandemic.
Relatives and friends really are a huge part of our home and hearing families chatter and laugh and seeing children running around playing is just fabulous!
Sheila was delighted to have her Great Grandchildren round for an afternoon and to be able to spend some quality time with her family.
The Harmony Girls
Sometimes, the music just says it all and this afternoon our residents enjoyed some great Sing-along songs from The Harmony Girls!
We all love our favourite songs and we weren’t let down as they were delighted to sing each request and we all enjoyed listening to each other’s most loved music.
Supporting our local RSPCA Centre
Recycling is something we are very wary about at Kings Park and what better way to recycle our residents’ newspapers than to give them to our local RSPCA centre Rspca Ashley Heath . Today our Home Services Advisor, Lucy, dropped off three boxes of paper along with bags of dog food and some tasty dog treats.
Lucy was delighted to meet Rachel and the beautiful greyhound Flo-Jo while delivering the goodies. Flo-Jo was very interested in the bags of treats too! She has already found her forever home, but if you are interested in welcoming a new family member do have a look at their website https://www.rspca.org.uk/local/ashley-heath-animal-centre
National Music Day
Whilst enjoying a glorious sunny afternoon, we listened to our favourite songs and had a friendly music quiz over a glass or two of cider.
We don’t really need to say how much everyone enjoyed it as these smiles say it all!
Anyone for a cupcake?
Oh dear! They’ve all gone! This isn’t a surprise though as our residents made such a great job at decorating them no one could refuse.
What better way to enjoy them too than relaxing in our sun filled garden whiling away an afternoon and chatting about anything and everything!
Happy 90th Birthday Joan!
One of our Founder Members, Joan, recently celebrated her 90th Birthday and invited her family to enjoy a special Afternoon Tea with her in one of our dining rooms.
It feels amazing that we can once again welcome family and friends into our home to spend valuable time with their loved one.
Happy Birthday Joan! We hope you all had a lovely afternoon.
