Activities at Kingswood Court Care Home
Our teams are trained to enrich the lives of residents through stimulating the mind, body and soul, and taking the time to learn about each person to ensure everyone receives support that adds enrichment to their life.
Activities are the cornerstone of a wholesome home experience, and our Activities Coordinators are always putting their creative minds to the test by organising new and exciting social events for residents to partake in. Of course, we take into account the likes and dislikes of those we support, so if someone doesn’t feel like trying something new, there will always be something on offer to reflect their personal interests. For the people who may just prefer some peace and quiet instead, we also offer one-to-one time that can be enjoyed with a nice cup of coffee or just a simple chat – whatever they desire.
Sarah Walton
I have been working at Kingswood Court for 3 years, first as a carer and since 2022 as an activity coordinator.
I really enjoy making a difference to our residents’ life and organising events and activities for them. I like to involve the local community in events within the home. Activities at Kingswood Court are very varied: entertainers, singers, gentle exercise, arts and craft, outings, and so much more!
Activities and Events Partnerships
As part of our bespoke life-enrichment programmes, we host a number of live virtual events in the home on a regular basis through a number of partnerships with places of interest and world class performance companies
Life at Kingswood Court Care Home
Christmas Party
We had an absolutely fabulous time at our Christmas Party!
The room was filled with laughter and joy as residents indulged in a delicious buffet prepared by our Head Chef Lee. The atmosphere came alive with live music, setting the perfect mood for ballroom dancing led by the a very talented duo, Terry and Jenny.
Smiles, twirls, and cheerful chatter filled the air. And to top it off, we also had a fun Christmas photo shoot - aren’t our Residents the most photogenic?! Another unforgettable celebration for our residents!
Ballroom Dancers
Kingswood Court goes Strictly Come Dancing!
We invited Terry and Jenny, retired ballroom dancers to show us their best moves! Bringing classical dancers to our care home fosters joy, cultural enrichment and emotional connection.
Our mission is to enhance residents 'mental well-being, evoke cherished memories and encourage physical engagement through rhythmic appreciation and that’s exactly what happened when Jenny and Terry did by showing us how to dance Samba and Fox Trot!
Several of our residents were tapping their feet, clapping and cheering on two amazing dancers! Our lovely visitors are the prime example that age is just a number!
Trip to Cadbury Garden Centre
Our Residents had a delightful visit to Cadbury Garden Centre. They enjoyed strolling through the vibrant displays, admiring Christmas decorations that filled the space with charm.
After exploring, they gathered in the cosy restaurant, where they savoured delicious snacks and shared laughter.
The trip left us with happy memories of a wonderful day out in such a welcoming setting. One of our residents said “Well, that was a day to remember!”.
We are already making plans for our next visit!
Our New Budgies
We have some new special residents who have joined us at Kingswood Court who are proving to be very popular! Our four budgies have been keeping our residents entertained with their antics and providing lots of enjoyment. The residents will be taking part in a Name the Budgie competition and placing their suggestions in a hat which will be drawn out at random. Margaret, one of our residents has said “ They’re lovely and relaxing to watch. They give me something to look forward to.”
World Poetry Day
On October 3rd we celebrated World Poetry Day with a creative competition! Residents and staff put their writing skills to the test and created their own poems or selected their favourite famous poems. We held a party and all the lovely poems were read out. Everyone worked so hard, but our overall winner was Susan, one of our residents who created a comical poem about daily life at Kingswood Court. Congratulations to Susan!
Baking Cupcakes
The residents have been busy baking delicious cupcakes and muffins. They helped to measure out the ingredients and mixed it all together.
Once they were baked we practised our piping skills – it was very sticky! We then decorated the cakes with lots of sweet treats.
Later in the day the residents enjoyed their creations with a nice cup of tea.
