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
What wonderful neighbours we have!
A big thank you to local residents Brian Humphries and his wife who have very kindly presented our Memory Lane residents with an electric piano and organ!
Gina was the first to play a few notes and have a dance once it was all set up and we know all our residents will find much enjoyment from having it close at hand to play at anytime.
Thank you Mr & Mrs Humphries
So good, it’s mouth watering!
Prawn cocktail is a favourite amongst our residents and these flew out of the kitchen!
It didn’t stop there though, the homemade Tiramisu was so popular, there was none left by the end of lunch service!
Thank you Chef for these tasty delights you prepare each day.

Kingston Lacy Snowdrops
There were snowdrops aplenty at Kingston Lacy this morning that have all kinds of names such as ‘Ding Dong’ and ‘Heffalump’!
Lime Avenue looked like a carpet of white delicateness and The Fernery felt like a Fairy Garden as we twined our way through the raised beds full of snowdrops nestled around daffodils and crocuses, all waiting to burst open.
Henrietta Bankes, a passionate horticulturist, first had her gardener plant snowdrops at Kingston Lacy in the early 1900s and he certainly did an excellent job!
We will be returning to see the bluebells when they have opened up in the Spring! Can almost smell them already!
Anyone for scrabble?!
