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.

Lindum House has been hosting an intergenerational playgroup for residents and members of the local community. The event, which takes place every Wednesday morning, welcomes the local nursery ‘Safe N Sound’ to enjoy music, games and activities with residents at the home.
The local nursery also enjoyed singing along with residents to their favourite nursery rhymes such as ‘How much is that doggie in the window’ and ‘Row, row, row your boat’.

Home thank Activities team!
Staff and residents at Lindum House are celebrating National Activity Providers & Professionals Week, which takes place from January 20-24. 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.

Games Club
Here at Lindum House we have a Games Club - where we have a reigning Champion at Scrabble. Anne has played for many years, and being an English Teacher knows more words than most! Father Christmas brought her a Scrabble Dictionary which gives all the acceptable 2 and 3 letter words also.
Dominoes is usually also a popular choice!



'Tis the season to be jolly
The home was filled with Christmas spirit and joy, as the residents and children from St Nicks Cubs, beavers and scouts enjoyed singing all the old favourite Christmas carols and songs together. Residents enjoyed receiving cards from the children after the carols had finished & Children enjoyed the Hot chocolate, cookie and intergenerational conversations that followed the gifting of their cards.
Peter Johnson, resident said: “It has been a lovely evening. It was wonderful to see the children go to so much effort to get into the Christmas spirit. I really enjoyed listening to them sing and meeting a few of them after.”



Deck the halls with holly with trip to the Minster
Staff and residents have been decking the halls, getting out the tinsel and unravelling the fairy lights, ready for a whole host of Christmas celebrations.
Residents and staff have been busy digging out the Christmas tree decorations and colour coding them, to decorate their tree at the Beverley Minster Christmas tree Festival. Following on from decorating the Beverley Minster tree, Lindum Hose Activities staff & Residents took a trip to admire the festivals full glory.
