Activities at Kings Park Care Home

Residents here at Kings Park were completely entranced by some very weird and wonderful visitors to our home recently...

We were joined by the fabulous folk from Creature Teachers, who arrived at our home with a wide variety of fluffy, furry, smooth and wiggly creatures of all shapes and sizes, as the residents got up close and personal with them, learning all about them as they made their way around each of the residents.

What a fascinating way to spend the afternoon!

THANK YOU The Creature Teachers for a wonderful afternoon.

We would like to say a HUGE THANK YOU to the lovely, kind-hearted newly weds who stopped by our home recently and gifted us with a beautiful floral display for our residents to re-arrange and dot about our home...

Turning up at Kings Park on Saturday, they brought with them a giant display of flowers from their special day, the day before, much to the delight of our residents here in the home.

Residents from our Memory Lane community were really excited to set to work and prepare some smaller displays for everyone to enjoy.

Sadly, they left before we could ask their names.

Whoever you are, many CONGRATULATIONS on your nuptials and all at Kings Park wish you both every happiness for now and the future!

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for this beautiful gesture, which has already given us so much pleasure.

Residents were recently entertained by the lovely Tony Edwards, who came along to sing for everyone here on our Memory Lane floor...

Tony also happens to be related to one of our lovely residents, Wynford, who was delighted to see some family, as well as enjoy some wonderful music and song from yesteryear!

Thank you, Tony!

Pet therapy is everything to the residents here at Kings Park and they really enjoy the visits from Roady, our therapy dog...

Roady brings the lovely Terry along to our home with him and together they go on a wander with the lovely Lauren, our Activities Lead, to hunt down all the dog lovers in the home, of which there are many!

The sheer joy he brings when they see him and in return, he is often given the odd treat by some of the residents he meets, as a thank you for his visit.

Thank you, Roady & Terry - Long may the visits continue!

What a way to start an afternoon, with a very special visit from some youngsters who are clearly bringing joy and happiness to our community this summer in a variety of ways...

We were joined by the children's summer club from Sunnyhill Church Ferndown, and boy were we pleased that they came to see us!

It was explained to us that the children, who are all on their summer break from school, had spent the past couple of days working hard and giving back to the community in a variety of ways; gardening & weeding, painting planters and also through their song and dance, which is what they offered to us upon their visit.

There were so many smiles and such a presence of joy that they brought to the home as they sang, clapped and wiggled through their songs, for which we are VERY grateful for indeed.

Thank you all for such wonderful singing and movement - The residents have not stopped smiling since you left!

You are all welcome back and visit any time!
WELL DONE Sunny Hill Church for all your efforts and for making our community a wonderful place for all - Young & old!

What a wonderful afternoon we had recently up on our first floor...

The aim of the game was to get the blood pumping and spread some smiles - Something that we were easily able to achieve!

It was one side of the lounge vs. the other and it got pretty fierce at times, as our residents became very competitive.

Nothing brings a laugh and some fun, like a good old game of balloon tennis - Great for our fitness too!
