Activities at Kingfisher Lodge 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.
George Tantrum
Hi, I am George and I am the Activities Lead here at Kingfisher Lodge. I have worked in healthcare for over 6 years and I have a passion for enriching the lives of the people in our home. We offer a wide variety of life enrichment activities within our home, from minibus trips and group outings all the way to spending some one on one time with our residents. If you pop into the home, the chances is you’ll find me, so come say hello!

Life at Kingfisher Lodge Care Home
Remembrance Day
At Kingfisher, we remembered all those who lost their lives making arts and crafts and taking the 2 minutes silence to reflect on the past and where we are now.
Piano Fun
Resident, Eric, used to teach children to pay the piano, so we invited in St John's Toddler Group for the afternoon for him to perform and teach them how to play!
Halloween
We had a big cauldron in reception ready for the local children to come in and pick out a trick or treat.
Wear it Pink
To raise awareness and money for breast cancer, we all dressed up in pink, ate all pink-themed foods and hosted a pink raffle. It was a great day and all in aid of a good cause, which made it even better.
1920s-Themed Open Day
For our open day in October, we had a 1920s theme, and everyone had to dress up in the appropriate attire. We had a live vocalist singing songs from the '20s, along with plenty of wine flowing throughout the afternoon with sweet treats and cheese platters.
Music for the Mind
Every fortnight, we join in with the local Music for the Mind group, which is set up by Keynsham Dementia Action Alliance. We had a great morning of music, with tea and cake to follow!
