Activities at Lindum House Care Home
Our fantastic Activities Coordinators make sure that there is a full programme of social events to suit all interests and capabilities. They aim to not only to stimulate, but to ensure that everyone involved has lots of fun. We enjoy trips out visiting local places of interest or just to explore, which inevitably ends up with us having a lovely lunch somewhere.
There are regular concerts that we hold in the home that allows us to have a good old singalong, and our community links include the local churches, knit and natter groups and toddler groups coming in to see residents.
On a daily basis, everyone enjoys a variety of activities, including quizzes, bingo, arts and crafts, reminiscing and movement to music. We also host movie afternoons on the big screen which, of course, involves popcorn and ice cream at the interval!
Any residents who are unable to join us in the communal areas for activities have one-to-one time in their rooms, with us either reading to them, chatting or anything else they wish to do that’s within their capabilities.
Kelly Rolph
Hi there, I'm Kelly. My role at Lindum House ensures all of our residents always have lots of fun activities to look forward too.
I grew up down south, my parents worked in news trade & I've lived in many places! I've lived in hull for 20 years now, worked in health and social care for around 15 years, I started on care, worked through domestic, kitchen assistant and found my calling with activities!
I'm a super social person, enjoy being busy and sing in my spare time. I am part of a small singing charity group 'guise & gals'. I've been singing karaoke since I was 18 but never had the confidence to take it any further. I do, however, love putting on a show for our residents!
I'm a strong believer in 'treat people how you wish to be treated' everyone is different and it's important to focus on each individuals wants and needs, to encourage and nurture life, you only live once!
I'm full of energy, providing there is music... it's good for my soul!
Our residents smiles are my reward, it makes me so happy to see them enjoying them selves.

Life at Lindum House Care Home
Birthday wishes!
Resident, Cath recently celebrated her birthday in style surrounded by family, friends and staff in the home. Cath had a wonderful day. Cath was over the moon with the gifts she received and was delighted to blow out the candles on her cake.
Jayne Clarke, General Manager said: “It was a lovely afternoon which was enjoyed by everyone and it was nice that Cath could share her day with family and all other residents and the staff made sure her birthday celebrations were spectacular!”
Historic Hendon
Across our services we had a lovely time joining Rhiannon Watkinson from the RAF Museum London for an interactive talk exploring the exciting and innovative aviation history of Hendon.
Our residents were able to learn about the first flights from the fields at Hendon, the creation of the London Aerodrome and Battle of Britain pilots who flew from RAF Hendon.
The talk also included photographic and film material from the Museum’s archive. Residents across our homes had a fantastic time and we truly enjoyed the virtual experience.
National Biscuit Day
We had a fun-filled day of biscuit dunking and tasting, paired with a good old cup of tea. Our residents got involved in a biscuit tasting activity, themed quiz and a chat about all things biscuits.
It was a lovely day, enjoyed by all.
A trip to Beverley Minister
Our weekly trips continue this week with another trip to Beverley Minster followed by a visit to The Hayride for lunch. A lot of our residents have connections to Beverley Minster and it was great for them to share their memories with us.
World Bee Day
There was a buzz in the air as we celebrated World Bee Day here at Lindum House.
We had fun making Hive Rules: Bee Kind, Bee Honest & Bee Generous and decorating some homemade themed biscuits to enjoy with a cuppa in the afternoon.
National Doughnut Week
To celebrate the start of National Doughnut Week, residents and staff enjoyed a Doughnut themed tea party including a variety of different Doughnuts to enjoy!
National Doughnut Week is a very special week where businesses including bakers, coffee shops, offices and take part and sell lots of delicious doughnuts to raise funds for The Children’s Trust.
