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.

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.

Life at Kingsland House Care Home
‘A Day at the Beach’ Theme
This month the theme was a day at the Beach so as well as visiting the seaside we brought the seaside to us, with visual and sensory time with sand and shells and creating our own Seaside Masterpiece
Exercise Class
We had a lovely morning with Matt as he helped us with our mobility and flexibility and worked us at a level that was comfortable, safe & fun!
Soothing Musical Instruments
We were moved to tears here at Kingsland House when our Lovely Linda decided to bring in her daughter who is studying music. At college and wanted to show us her skills. “Just beautiful” quoted a resident as we all listened to their beautiful music.
Intergenerational Play!
We are so pleased to be able to host our intergenerational playgroup again here at Kingsland House. It is so very therapeutic. For our residents to be able to interact with the toddlers and certainly brings back memories of their childminding days.
Gentlemen's visit to the hairdresser
Here at Kingsland House our hairdressers is open every Tuesday and Thursday and today it was the turn of our gentlemen. We all agreed that they came out looking very dashing indeed.
Mini Bus Trip to the Seaside
Hot weather calls for ice cream so off we went in our minibus for a trip to an Italian Ice Cream Parlour, especially for one of our residents who is Italian. Followed by a lovely stroll along the seafront, a good time was had by all.
