Activities at Kingswood Court Care Home

There’s nothing quite like a good pamper session – our lovely ladies couldn’t agree more. Many of them once enjoyed a regular trip to the salon, so we brought the experience that they loved so much to them.

From relaxing treatments to a fresh blow-dry, it was a day of well-deserved indulgence that brought back fond memories sitting in the salon chair and being truly cared for.

It’s these thoughtful touches that help our residents feel confident, relaxed, and right at home.

When Pat and Ann shared their love of baking, we knew it was time to get the rolling pins out. Together, we made a batch of delicious jam tarts – a sweet treat that brought back fond memories of baking for their loved ones.

It’s moments like these that turn simple activities into something special, making Kingswood Court feel truly like a home.

At Kingswood Court, we’re always looking for ways to enhance the everyday for our residents – and our latest addition has done that. We’re delighted to share that we’ve recently opened our very own bar, nestled alongside our inviting ground floor café and restaurant.

Since its opening, the new space has quickly become a favourite gathering spot for many of our residents. Everyone has been enjoying freshly cooked meals from the kitchen, refreshing drinks, and the opportunity to socialise in a relaxed, stylish setting. 

For our residents, these shared dining experiences go far beyond food and drink. They create moments of joy, connection, and familiarity – the kind of meaningful moments we believe make the difference.

After months of dedicated rehearsal our Carol Concert was nothing short of magical! Our Residents rehearsed diligently for three months for the concert, showcasing dedication and talent.

The concert was enriched by Joyce, our remarkable 107 year-old Resident whose contribution and enthusiasm was inspiring. 

Our Residents inspiring performance touched hearts, attracting many families who gathered to celebrate and cherish this beautiful display of community and joy. 

We had an absolutely fabulous time at our Christmas Party! 

The room was filled with laughter and joy as residents indulged in a delicious buffet prepared by our Head Chef Lee. The atmosphere came alive with live music, setting the perfect mood for ballroom dancing led by the a very talented duo, Terry and Jenny. 

Smiles, twirls, and cheerful chatter filled the air. And to top it off, we also had a fun Christmas photo shoot - aren’t our Residents the most photogenic?! Another unforgettable celebration for our residents!

Kingswood Court goes Strictly Come Dancing! 

We invited Terry and Jenny, retired ballroom dancers to show us their best moves! Bringing classical dancers to our care home fosters joy, cultural enrichment and emotional connection. 

Our mission is to enhance residents 'mental well-being, evoke cherished memories and encourage physical engagement through rhythmic appreciation and that’s exactly what happened when Jenny and Terry did by showing us how to dance Samba and Fox Trot! 

Several of our residents were tapping their feet, clapping and cheering on two amazing dancers! Our lovely visitors are the prime example that age is just a number!

Our Residents had a delightful visit to Cadbury Garden Centre. They enjoyed strolling through the vibrant displays, admiring Christmas decorations that filled the space with charm. 

After exploring, they gathered in the cosy restaurant, where they savoured delicious snacks and shared laughter. 

The trip left us with happy memories of a wonderful day out in such a welcoming setting. One of our residents said “Well, that was a day to remember!”. 

We are already making plans for our next visit!

We have some new special residents who have joined us at Kingswood Court who are proving to be very popular! Our four budgies have been keeping our residents entertained with their antics and providing lots of enjoyment. The residents will be taking part in a Name the Budgie competition and placing their suggestions in a hat which will be drawn out at random. Margaret, one of our residents has said “ They’re lovely and relaxing to watch. They give me something to look forward to.”

On October 3rd we celebrated World Poetry Day with a creative competition! Residents and staff put their writing skills to the test and created their own poems or selected their favourite famous poems. We held a party and all the lovely poems were read out. Everyone worked so hard, but our overall winner was Susan, one of our residents who created a comical poem about daily life at Kingswood Court. Congratulations to Susan!
