Activities at Kingswood Court Care Home
Activities are the cornerstone of a wholesome home experience, and our Activities Coordinators are always putting their creative minds to the test by organising new and exciting social events for residents to partake in. Of course, we take into account the likes and dislikes of those we support, so if someone doesn’t feel like trying something new, there will always be something on offer to reflect their personal interests. For the people who may just prefer some peace and quiet instead, we also offer one-to-one time that can be enjoyed with a nice cup of coffee or just a simple chat – whatever they desire.
Sarah Walton
I have been working at Kingswood Court for 3 years, first as a carer and since 2022 as an activity coordinator.
I really enjoy making a difference to our residents’ life and organising events and activities for them. I like to involve the local community in events within the home. Activities at Kingswood Court are very varied: entertainers, singers, gentle exercise, arts and craft, outings, and so much more!

Life at Kingswood Court Care Home
Residents enjoy a day out at Grimsby Farm
We went on an outing to Grimsby Farm and loved seeing all the animals. It was a bit chilly but the sun shone and we enjoyed a drink and a piece of cake at the café before going on a stroll around the farm looking at all the animals. It was a lovely day!
Joyce’s 107th birthday celebrations
Our lovely resident Joyce celebrated her 107th birthday in style earlier this month with the help of hundreds of people around the world who sent her birthday cards. Surrounded by close friends, residents and staff at Kingswood Court, Joyce was delighted to celebrate her special day with everyone. She was very touched by everyone’s kindness and had a lovely word to all. Sharing her secret for such a long life, she said: “Work hard and live well, that is what I did.”
Thank you to everyone who answered her appeal to get Joyce 107 cards on her special day!
Sports Day fundraising effort wins a gold!
Participants were awarded a signed certificate and a medal, and everyone got rewarded for their efforts with a delicious buffet from our Chef.
Announcing our own dementia café
Kingswood Court has teamed up with Bristol Dementia Action Alliance to set up our first Memory Café on Wednesday 14th August from 2 to 4 pm.
Tony, from BDAA, will be joining us, delivering a dementia awareness session. Dementia friendly activities will be available. Everyone is welcome to attend for a friendly chat and refreshments.
Celebrating D Day
On D-Day anniversary, Kingswood Court celebrated the veterans and their families.
David, son of our resident Gloria Needham, gave a speech about his grand-father’s history of the landing in Normandy. British Legion’s member Ian gave a talk about the RAF role’s in the war.
Residents then enjoyed a delicious lunch and celebrated with a party all afternoon.
Animals visit at Kingswood Court
We absolutely loved having Melissa over with all her little animals in the care home! Our residents enjoyed the company of a lamb, guinea pigs, mouse, lizards and more. Everyone loved stroking them and hearing about their story.
Our residents were surprised in their rooms with the animals and were totally smitten, wishing they could have kept them all!
