Activities at Kings Park Care Home

What a fantastic session with Pippa, she had us all laughing and moving, which made for a great exercise session. We enjoy our classes, it's the perfect way to stay active and social.

If you, or someone you know would like to join in, you're more than welcome to come and give it a go - we'd love to see you here.

As long-term residents, they're at the heart of our community - welcoming new residents to provide support and companionship, helping with colleague recruitment and maybe even a guided tour! They ensure everyone has a way to share feedback, offer suggestions and celebrate what we do well at our resident, relative and friends meetings.

We're so lucky to have them in these roles, helping to make Kings Park an even warmer and more inclusive place to live!

We're so proud of Eric - he's just completed his first solo walk into the community! Encouraging independence and maintaining mobility is so important and it's wonderful to see how his confidence has grown. Well-done Eric - this is a fantastic achievement and there's no stopping you now!

It's an extra special Valentine's Day at Kings Park, as residents Naomi and Richard, celebrate 69 years since their engagement, on this very day in 1956!

Our wonderful team treated them to an intimate dining experience with a romantic setting complete with roses, glasses of fizz, music and a menu the couple both enjoy. It was a heartfelt tribute to a love that has stood the test of time.

Naomi, was born in Hereford and Richard, originally from Weymouth first met in 1955. Naomi was studying at Weymouth Teacher Training College and Richard was serving in the Merchant Navy. After his ship docked in Swansea, Richard had to travel to Weymouth. Feeling tired from his journey, he almost skipped attending the dance being held at Naomi’s college. However, a friend who had already bought two tickets convinced him to go. It was there, across the dancefloor, that Richard spotted Naomi and asked for her first dance, the first of many they would share that evening and for the rest of their lives. On 14 February, 1956, Richard proposed and just over a year later on, 23 April 1957, they were married. Their love has since grown into a beautiful family, including two children, four grandchildren, and two great-grandchildren.

As they approach their 69th wedding anniversary this April, their story is a beautiful reminder that love, once found, can last a lifetime.

...with a great game of scrabble!

A fantastic way to start the day to keep us sharp! Everyone took the challenge seriously with plenty of friendly competition and there were some impressive word scores on the board!

Every week, the little ones at Kings Kids toddler group fill our home with laughter and our residents absolutely love it. It's such a joy to see the children exploring and playing, and sharing cuddles. The way our residents light up during their visits is truly special. These moments really do brighten our days!
