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
Cookery Club
Members of our weekly Friday Cookery Club were impressed with their results and happily delivered home baked sausage rolls to residents and staff.
Rock n Roll Time
We have been discussing our favourite type of dance and music and the resounding favourite was Rock & Roll, so we asked our lovely entertainer, Tania, to treat us to some of the tunes and she did not disappoint!
Dressed up in her 50’s style dress, she delighted us with ‘Rock Around The Clock’ and ‘Great Balls of Fire’ to name a few and our residents were proud to show off their dance moves.
Christmas Day Celebrations
The party was in full swing on Christmas Day at Kingsland House as we enjoyed a Bucks Fizz breakfast followed by a beautiful Christmas Dinner. Our elves were busy delivering Christmas presents to each resident and a fun time was had by all! Merry Christmas everyone!
Christmas Card delivery from local school
We were delighted to receive handmade personalized Christmas Cards for every single one of our residents here at Kingsland House. Pupils at a local primary school had taken time and care to hand write each card, some asking for help with their WW2 project and some enclosing word search puzzles for our residents to complete.
Staff Christmas Curries!
All staff were treated to a Christmas lunch curry recently, which was delivered in a stunning Rickshaw and served up hot and fresh for all to enjoy! Even staff on their days off popped in to enjoy their Christmas lunch with the rest of the team. It was a real treat, thoroughly enjoyed by everyone.
Poppy Wreath Making
In the build up to Remembrance Day we prepared and created some beautiful wreaths by cutting out shapes of autumn leaves and mixing with poppies for our beautiful designs.
