Activities at Kings Park Care Home

It's always lovely to welcome new faces into our home and at our recent early morning event it was no exception...

We hosted a wonderful Professional's Breakfast, inviting local businesses, charities and individuals to come along for a bite to eat and mix and mingle, as they shared business cards, ideas and ways in which we can all help each in our local areas.

We welcomed: -
Natural Skin By Lynne, Liaise Ltd, Helpful Hounds Assistance Dogs, Pri & Martin from Halcyon Health And Social Care, Fiona from Lewis-Manning Hospice Care, Samantha Lynne, Philip Martin, and Aventina Training -THANK YOU ALL FOR COMING!

Our next local event will be held at our lovely sister home, Hyacinth House, taking place on Wednesday 1st May.

Do get in touch if you would like to attend this FREE event to help you grow your business!

So sang the ever popular, Max Bygraves! Such a well known and well loved tune from way back, but still a firm favourite of many of the Kings Park residents.

After another wonderfully vivid flower delivery again recently, the home was filled with the beautifully bright blooms of tulips.

We don't know if they originally came from Amsterdam or not, but they definitely came from our lovely, generous friends over at our local Marks and Spencer Food Hall, who regularly donate and leftover flowers at the end of a day, for all of our residents to enjoy!

We are always, so, so grateful for these generous offerings and they really do brighten up the lives of everyone here in the home.

HUGE GRATITUDE also goes to the wonderful, Anne, who often collects them for us - You are wonderful!

Our residents are really loving our weekly Creative Happiness Club, which we have been running for several weeks now with some great feedback from residents and families who have seen the benefits for themselves.

Eleanor, who runs these weekly groups in our home, really ensures everyone is well supported and encourages everyone to try something new, get chatting with each other, but also likes to showcase some of creative makes.

If you would like to come along to the next FREE session, then our groups are held as follows: -

Residents here at Kings Park celebrated all things Irish recently as they enjoyed a fun afternoon of music, dancing and fun & games, all with an Irish theme.

Everyone had a wonderful afternoon and really got into the spirit of things as they joined together for this wonderful afternoon event.

Several of own Kings Parkers all turned into Irish leprechauns for the afternoon too.

Well done everyone and 'Top 'o the Morning' to you all!

Recently here at Kings Park it was all about our marvellous Mothers...

For some it was a time to rejoice for our lovely mothers and hold them dear, as we thanked them for all they have done in our lives, whilst for others it was time to remember the mothers no longer here with us, but who's legacies still live on.

But whichever it was, yesterday was definitely a time of celebration - And celebrate we did!

The fabulous Andy Hague was back again to entertain us again with his wonderful accordion music, which soon got everyone up and dancing! THANK YOU ANDY!

Meanwhile, the ever fabulous, Wyn, (our Head Chef) had been busy baking some delicious treats in the Kings Park kitchen, for all the wonderful mums and their families to enjoy at their afternoon mother's day soiree.

Each mother was also given a lovely posy of flowers to mark the special day, in addition to all the wonderful cards, gifts and flowers bestowed upon them all by their lovely families.

It really was a wonderful afternoon full of LOVE for all our mothers!
