Dale from KCFM Radio visited the home to interview our very own Maureen and also to take part in a quiz live on air. Fun was had by all and we also enjoyed the cakes that Dale brought in for Maureen's birthday.
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.

Easter Bingo
We host a bingo session every Friday with the help of our volunteer, Helen. Our most recent game was Easter-themed, with the grand prize of a seasonal hamper that was kindly donated by Helen.
Pictured is Helen and our winner, Margaret; well done and a big thank you to Helen for all her help and support at Lindum House.

Easter Celebrations
For Easter, we gave the residents an Easter egg each with their names on; and for those who can’t enjoy chocolate, we presented them with a lovely cuddly toy instead.
Easter Egg Raffle
Here at Lindum House, we had an Easter egg raffle and residents, Olive, Emma and Mary were the winners. We raised over £200 for the residents' fund. Thank you to everyone who supported us on the day.
Nutrition & Hydration Week
We had lots of fun during Nutrition and Hydration week; we ended the week with a fruity quiz and a fruit tasting session that was organised by our Head Chef, Mo.
Keeping Busy at Lindum
Here at Lindum, we had lots of fun with our parachute and balloons. Each resident had a coloured balloon and had to keep it in the parachute.
