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.

Life at Lindum House Care Home
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.
Ray's Magic Moment
Residents and guests at Lindum House, enjoyed a magical afternoon, with a live magic performance that took place at the home.
Local magician, Ray Burrell performed a delight of magic tricks. Residents joined in with the magical phrases, such as ‘Lindum House is magic, abracadabra & ray even had us clucking like chickens!’’. Ray also made the staff and each resident, wonderful balloon models after the performance.
One resident said “I really enjoyed the performance, he was very good with his hands & humorous too!”
Lindum Morisons Visit
Thursdays are now our ‘Trip Thursday’. Staff and residents had a lovely time visiting their local Morrisons shopping centre where they all enjoyed a stroll around the shop & stopped by the café for cake & refreshment.
Activities coordinator, Kelly Rolph said: “We absolutely love being able to take our residents out and about on local shopping trips, we are truly spoilt to have our own minibus to enable these trips. It has been a lovely morning and we’ve all thoroughly enjoyed ourselves.”
Resident, Carol Gibson said” Just nipping out and being able to walk round the local shop, is something we take for granted. I really enjoyed myself this morning, it’s lovely that we are lucky enough to have a minibus & the staff are always so helpful.”
Now that's what I call music!
Staff and residents joined fellow keen quizzers from over 250 Barchester care homes and hospitals across the whole of the UK, including Wales, Scotland, Jersey and the Isle of Wight, to put their collective music knowledge to the test.
Barchester’s first ‘Now That’s What I Call Music’ Quiz took place on 26th March 2025 when Lindum House got super competitive and took on its sister homes from all over the country to find out which Barchester home or hospital had the best musical maestros. From melodical mindbenders and toe tapping teasers to backwards brain puzzlers and sing-a-long sleuthing, the homes battled it out to find out who would prevail.
Green Fingers Plant Seedlings
Green fingers club is always a success when it’s a beautiful day outside. You just can't beat that fresh air and sitting in the sun!
Residents and staff have been planting seeds during green fingers club. Wednesday afternoon was spent planting the radish seedlings. They are waiting till the tomatoes, cucumbers etc are stronger.
Lindum already has a fairly fruitful harvest coming though, roll on the summer months!
Nostalgic Sparks Fly as Mobile Museum Arrives!
What a wonderfully fun & intellectual visit we had from the mobile museum on Thursday.
The mobile museum arrived and was set up across 3 tables in our reception area. The residents & staff were allowed to have a look through. As they rummaged through, you could see the sparks of nostalgia fly. There were so many conversations regarding ‘the good old days’.
There was so much nostalgia in the air, as we all reminisced of the old TV shows, magazines and collector’s items, to name but a few!
