Here at Lindum House we are holding a Sunflower Competition. Currently, our Head of Housekeeping is winning, but the Maintenance Manager is catching up. It's going to be close!
Meet our Activities Coordinator, Kelly Scott
Hello, my name is Kelly Scott, and I’ve been organising activities at Lindum House since 2015 and I really enjoy the pleasure I get from doing it. I previously worked on a Memory Lane community as a Carer in a different Barchester home for 4 years, supporting individuals living with dementia.
Activities at Lindum House
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.
Life at our home
Sunflower Competition
Wimbledon Celebrations
Residents and staff at Lindum House got into full swing on the first day of Wimbledon by watching the games, and enjoying strawberries and cream paired with a glass off fizz provided by our in-house hospitality team.
Humber Bridge Visit
We visited the Humber Bridge Foreshore for an ice cream and had a chat about the history of the area. We all enjoyed the wonderful views!
Gentlemen's Club
We took some Lindum gentlemen for lunch at the Wingfield Farm near the Humber Bridge, where we enjoyed a carvery and a nice glass of beer.
Our Sensory Garden
We have been making great progress on our sensory garden. We were able to purchase a brand new water feature because of some donations from our local Co-op. The lovely ladies at Lindum were very impressed.
World Cup Room
Here at Lindum House, we have decorated one of our rooms ready to enjoy the World Cup. Residents, relatives and visitors have enjoyed watching the matches with a few nibbles and, of course, something nice to wash it down. Lindum wishes England good luck.
