Activities at Lindum House Care Home
Our teams are trained to enrich the lives of residents through stimulating the mind, body and soul, and taking the time to learn about each person to ensure everyone receives support that adds enrichment to their life. 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.

'Furry Friends' Visit
our home was full of animal mischief on Thursday 22nd May when the mobile Furry Friends came to visit the home.
Residents at the home were pleasantly surprised to see animals such as baby bunnies, turtles, lizards, snakes and skinny pigs entering our living area as the wonderful ladies at Furry Friends paid a visit.
The animals were a huge hit and we can't wait until furry friends visit us again in the future.
Garden Centre Trip
It was all aboard the minibus as our residents headed out for had a delightful trip to the Cherry Trees Garden Centre.
We admired and discussed the vibrant and colourful selection flowers before treating themselves to a well-earned cup of tea and cake in the café.
Everyone had a lovely time and we can't thank our hosts enough at the garden centre.
National Donut Week
Our home marked National Donut Week with a heartfelt gesture of appreciation for their local heroes.
In a spirit of community and thanks, the home delivered a delicious selection of donuts to the local fire station, thanking the firefighters for their unwavering dedication and service.
The sweet treats were delivered on behalf of the residents, who wanted to show their appreciation for the bravery and commitment of the fire crew.
Red, white and blue for VE celebrations
Lindum House marked the 80th anniversary of Victory in Europe Day in style by throwing a 1940s afternoon tea party to remember. The home and residents were decorated and dressed in red, white and blue and enjoyed an afternoon of 1940’s-inspired music and dancing.
Head chef Matt Carr whipped up a delicious selection of freshly-baked biscuits, sandwiches, cakes and pastries for the occasion, all washed down with pots of tea and a celebratory glass of fizz to mark the occasion.
Easter Celebrations!
What a crack-ing Easter celebration weekend we had here at Lindum House. On Saturday, the residents and their families all had an egg-citing time at the Fun Day, where there was an Egg Hunt around our fabulous gardens, a photo booth and even an Egg & Spoon Race - where we all cheered each other on!
On Easter Sunday, our residents were greeted by the Easter Bunny who gave out the Chocolate Eggs.
