Activities at Kingswood Court Care Home
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!

Life at Kingswood Court Care Home
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.
Residents enjoy a day out at Grimsby Farm
We went on an outing to Grimsby Farm and loved seeing all the animals. It was a bit chilly but the sun shone and we enjoyed a drink and a piece of cake at the café before going on a stroll around the farm looking at all the animals. It was a lovely day!
Joyce’s 107th birthday celebrations
Our lovely resident Joyce celebrated her 107th birthday in style earlier this month with the help of hundreds of people around the world who sent her birthday cards. Surrounded by close friends, residents and staff at Kingswood Court, Joyce was delighted to celebrate her special day with everyone. She was very touched by everyone’s kindness and had a lovely word to all. Sharing her secret for such a long life, she said: “Work hard and live well, that is what I did.”
Thank you to everyone who answered her appeal to get Joyce 107 cards on her special day!
