Activities at Kings Park Care Home
Activities are an integral part of life at our care home. We want to ensure that the people we support have as much fun as possible during their time with us, so it’s important that our activities programme is created with the interests of residents in mind. Our skilled Activities Coordinators bring a certain uniqueness to the home that can’t be found anywhere else, and which is reflected in the activities they organise.
Claudia Canosa
Claudia moved to the UK from her native South Africa with her family some 6 years ago, although her family are of Italian decent.
With a caring nature, Claudia worked for a domiciliary care company helping in people in the community before eventually working in a care home environment, working up to the role of Senior Carer.
Realising how much she enjoyed making the residents smile, Claudia has now stepped into the role of Activities Lead here at Kings Park and very much loves the interaction with our residents, who have all taken a real shine to her.
Claudia can regularly be seen with our residents in a very creative capacity, enjoying flower arranging or leading everyone in a game of good old fashioned Bingo!
When at home, Claudia is a mother to two boys and a girl and also a pet mum to the the gorgeous, Molly - a Jack Russell cross.
She loves nothing more than curling up on the sofa in front of a good rom/com, with: The Holiday, The Lakehouse and The Notebook as some of her favourites to date.
We are so happy to have her as part of the Kings Park team.

Life at Kings Park Care Home
Eyes Down for Two Little Ducks and a Knock at the Door!
Everyone enjoyed a game or two of Bingo and also enjoyed their prizes.
Perhaps the most enjoyable part was making up our own sayings for the numbers!
Fun in the Sun
Fun in the Sun!
What a lovely warm day to enjoy some outdoor games and enjoy an Afternoon Tea with a General Quiz in our gazebo!
Our Activities Coordinator, Kirsty, ensured we all made the very most of today’s weather and organised a packed day of outdoor fun.
Our Chefs baked some tasty homemade treats that were enjoyed by all along with some iced lemonade.
Busy Easter Weekend
It was a busy Easter weekend at Kings Park with sketching classes, card games, armchair exercises and the all important chocolate tasting session with our Chef, Gary!
With Spring now here and the sun shining, we are about to start planning our garden events and activities along with our mini-bus trips
Easter Day and Simnel Cake
Wow! What a fantastically tasty and stunning Simnel Cake our Chef made for Easter this year!
As ever, Ferndown Florists went all out with their special display and one of our Senior Carers, Heidi, made some super chocolate bouquets for our residents to pick and choose from!
We hope you all enjoyed your Easter Day
Happy Birthday Pam!
Our Chef Sarah has been busy with Birthday Cakes recently! Here’s the Lovely Pam with her chosen chocolate cake to celebrate a very special birthday!
