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.

Life at Kings Park Care Home
World Chocolate Day
We had a lip smacking and full on chocolate taster quiz today, which not only tested us and broadened our knowledge of chocolate but also entailed the very difficult task of identifying various different chocolate bars by….well quite simply eating them!
Well done to our remarkable tasters who are all clearly very knowledgeable about our favourite chocs. It was a difficult task…but someone had to do it!
One to One Shopping Trips
One of the fabulous draws to Kings Park is that we are so close to Ferndown Centre, we can take residents out to do a bit of shopping, visit the library or have a cuppa in a café any day of the week. This is particularly important for supporting independence, something we take very seriously.
Here is Sheila on her trip to the shops with our Activities Coordinator Kathy, just to pick up a few favourite treats and to enjoy meeting our local community.
Ball Boy Roady!
Today, our fabulous Caring Canine, Roady, not only visited our residents and made some huge smiles.…he also showed us that it is indeed possible to pick up and hold not one but TWO tennis balls at the same time! !
Roady would be a great Ball Boy at #wimbledon2022 !
Open Day
All ready for our Open Day!
Wyn, our Chef has baked some favourite treats for everyone. The Café is looking fabulous and the aroma of freshly baked cookies and chocolate profiteroles has spread around the home!
If you’re in the area, why not stop by for coffee and cake and a chat about our beautiful home.
Strawberries & Cream
It might sound like a cliché but our residents do love a competitive game of Bingo now and again and what better way to enjoy a win than with a cooling bowl of strawberries and cream!
Wimbledon fun is also happening in our home this week and next so rackets at the ready for some big matches to come!
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.
