Activities at Kingsland House Care Home

Kingsland House have a variety of activities that our residents help us choose. Celebrating Life in our home is jovial and fun and from our weekly delivered activity sheet, our residents can chose exactly what they want to join in with.

Our activities range from exercise classes, gardening, arts and crafts, games to food-fun clubs. We also offer our in house church services, our own home cinema, our mobile pub - The Kingsland Tavern, visiting Pat Dogs, musical entertainers, minibus outings, theme days and birthday celebrations. For those residents being nursed in their rooms we have one to one activities sessions.

At Kingsland House we believe that activities are hugely important to stimulate and uplift, and getting to know our residents interests and lifestyle choices assist our activities team in creating events and activities to suit their expressed wishes and capabilities. We also encourage our residents' families and friends to join in with as much as they can to make Kingsland House a loving family atmosphere.

Activities coordinator

I've been at Kingsland House as the Activities  Coordinator since April 2024 having previously worked in a similar role since 2020.

My previous experience has been in working as a carer and air bnb host,   corporate finance and project management for many years.  This is my most rewarding role to date and I am passionate about working with the elderly.

I love the variety of each day, getting to know and share in the lives of our residents.  The commitment and support of Barchester enables us to deliver activities and outings that go above and beyond to support and celebrate life which makes the difference to our residents wellbeing and happiness.

D-Day Dancing

Wonderful singer Aimee treated us to a wonderful afternoon of music and dancing to timeless classics from across the decades with some extra-special wartime songs to mark D-Day and honour the occasion. 

Aimee’s infectious energy and beautiful voice brought so much joy to our home.

Chelsea Flower Show came to Kingsland!

As it was Chelsea Flower Show Week, here at Kingsland House we had our own colourful flower-arranging fun, making some gorgeous and skilful creations which could be enjoyed around the home, whilst others were taken to some more poorly residents to enjoy in their rooms.

Minibus trip to Shoreham lifeboat station

We had the most amazing morning on a minibus trip to Shoreham Lifeboat Station, always a popular place to visit!  We received the warmest welcome and a brilliant tour, learning the inspiring story of Shoreham Lifeboat and the vital work of the RNLI, and how this incredible service at Shoreham has been saving lives since 1865 — starting with rowing boats — and how much it’s evolved over the years.

We saw both the lifeboats, enjoyed beautiful views over the harbour, and came away full of admiration.

Its all fun & games

Come rain or shine, it's always fun & games at Kingsland House. 

We like to get our minds working with puzzles, word games and board games and really test our brain power, starting with easy games to warm up, then tackling the more difficult ones. We can get quite competitive, but always have a laugh!
