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
Community Book Club
Our home is inviting members of the local community to join them at their weekly book club, hosted by local volunteer Glen.
The sessions take place every Monday at 10:30am, offering a warm and welcoming space for book lovers to come together, share their thoughts, and enjoy lively discussions over a cup of tea and a slice of cake, courtesy of the home’s hospitality team.
Coffee with a Firefighter
Our home delighted to host a heart-warming “Coffee with a Firefighter” event, welcoming members of the local fire brigade into the home for an afternoon of conversation, community spirit, and delicious treats.
Residents, visitors, and staff had the pleasure of chatting with our dedicated firefighters, learning about their daily work and hearing stories from the local area—all while enjoying freshly brewed tea and coffee in our cosy lounge.
The home was also thrilled to welcome the children from the ‘Safe n Sound Nurseries and Pre School’ who were incredibly excited to join us in the firefighting themed fun.
Fun with the Alpacas
Our home was filled with animal mischief as we welcomed the beautiful alpacas from 'Alpacas at The Field' in Dunswell, for another wonderfully informative & engaging visit.
Its always a pleasure meeting new animals, our residents & staff got to learn about the Alpacas & feel just how soft they are! The sun was shining and there was joy & happiness in abundance.
Green Fingers Club
The summer sunshine saw our home's 'Green Fingers Club' take to the gardens!
Our residents love to get outside and help maintain their gardens, whether it be watering, seeding or weeding.
Our green spaces offer a quiet place to relax, a place to be entertained and most importantly within a safe place which can be enjoyed by all.
30 Year Long Service Award
A Housekeeper at our home has received a prestigious Long Service Award in celebration of working at Barchester Healthcare for 30 years.
Sarah Burges, now Head Housekeeper, started at Barchester in May 1995 and has worked with residents and their relatives to ensure that their needs have been met over the years.
Sarah came into the company as a care assistant, before becoming a kitchen assistant, relief chef, second chef, then becoming a qualified chef through college and becoming head chef before becoming head of housekeeping at the home.
'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.
