Activities at Kingsland House Care Home

Trips out on our minibus are a really special part of life for many of our residents, especially when the sun is shining, providing a change of scenery and connections with the wider community.  

We made several trips in our minibus to Coombes Farm during lambing season, so lots of our residents were able to meet the new baby lambs. The team at Coombes were wonderfully welcoming, providing seats and bringing some lambs to us and telling us all about the lambing season at Coombes and providing tea and cake in their pop-up café!   

We had the honour of a visit from Chanctonbury Ring Morris Men who joined us on May 1st to celebrate May Day with their joyful music and wonderful dancing in the sunshine on our patio! 

We had a wonderful time tapping along to the music and celebrating such a wonderful part of our English heritage! 

We held our  first International Day – a vibrant, joyful celebration! Our theme was India, and the home came alive with colour, culture, and community. Many wore beautiful traditional Indian attire, and some performed graceful regional dances. We enjoyed a delicious spread of Indian cuisine prepared by our amazing kitchen team, along with delicious food contributed by staff. 

It was also Carers Week, so we took the opportunity to recognise and thank our wonderful care team for their dedication and compassion. It was a joyful and meaningful day – a celebration of culture, community, and care.  

Wonderful singer Aimee treated us to a wonderful afternoon of music and dancing to timeless classics from across the decades with some extra-special wartime songs to mark D-Day and honour the occasion. 

Aimee’s infectious energy and beautiful voice brought so much joy to our home.  

As it was Chelsea Flower Show Week, here at Kingsland House we had our own colourful flower-arranging fun, making some gorgeous and skilful creations which could be enjoyed around the home, whilst others were taken to some more poorly residents to enjoy in their rooms. 

We had the most amazing morning on a minibus trip to Shoreham Lifeboat Station, always a popular place to visit!  We received the warmest welcome and a brilliant tour, learning the inspiring story of Shoreham Lifeboat and the vital work of the RNLI, and how this incredible service at Shoreham has been saving lives since 1865 — starting with rowing boats — and how much it’s evolved over the years.

We saw both the lifeboats, enjoyed beautiful views over the harbour, and came away full of admiration.

We enjoyed a wonderful afternoon with the children of Little Lancing who shared songs, smiles, puzzles, laughter and fun. What joy their visit brought !

We love our inter-generational afternoons. The connections bring so much to our residents and our young visitors alike, fostering a great sense of community.

Come rain or shine, it's always fun & games at Kingsland House. 

We like to get our minds working with puzzles, word games and board games and really test our brain power, starting with easy games to warm up, then tackling the more difficult ones. We can get quite competitive, but always have a laugh!
