Celebrating life at Barchester

Residents were treated to a fantastic afternoon of Rock & Roll hits by Elvis impersonator Ian who entertained our residents & raised the roof with his music.

We are so proud of our keep warm project. Residents at Paternoster House are knitting colourful squares to create blankets for donation. 

What a wonderful day at Upton Bay .Our amazing community came together to celebrate our lovely Anne’s birthday with a delightful tea party. It was filled with laughter, smiles, and lots of sweet treats. Thank you to everyone who joined in to make Anne’s day so special.

Upton Bay’s Burns Night was magical.

Residents, family & friends enjoyed Chef Alain’s delicious supper with stunning decorations by Karen.

 Bob G & family read the Address to the Haggis. 

Andy’s accordion sparked singing & dancing . Karen led the whiskey toast , ending with Auld Lang Syne .

Residents and staff wanted to thank the wonderful activities team at the home, whose hard work and dedication make a real difference to the lives of the residents living there.

National Activity Providers & Professionals Week is an annual event to support activity professionals and thank them for all the many different varied activities they provide to residents and patients.  Each and every member of the team at Lindum House offer unique, tailored activities and entertainment to the residents every single day. They always go above and beyond their role and for this everyone at the home is truly grateful.

Our home warmly welcomed Amanda from Jatec Healthcare for a special community ear wax removal clinic, offering free ear checks to residents and local community members.

The clinic provided an excellent opportunity for people to receive professional ear health advice and checks in a relaxed and friendly environment. Amanda’s expertise was greatly appreciated by everyone who attended, helping to promote better hearing health in the community.

Jewellery making for arts and crafts has become a favourite in our home. It’s therapeutic, and it’s nice to make gifts for family members. The activity gives residents independence, fun and enjoyment.  

What’s your favourite piece of jewellery?    

Another lovely game of curling to start the day. Being active and competitive keeps the body and brain stimulated, such a fun sport to play.

The red team won with 84 points, but the blues weren't far behind with 80 points. We were lucky to have Chef Sonia to help out and have a quick go! Lovely having the team join in.
