Activities at Lindum House Care Home

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

Activities Co-ordinator

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.

St George's Day Celebrations

Residents enjoyed an English Cream Tea of scones, jam and clotted cream served with fresh strawberries this afternoon whilst learning about George and his Dragon.

Chef, Paul, also provided homemade cakes specially themed for this day. 

We made anagrams of St George's Day, took party in various puzzles and quizzes and waved our flags while singing Rule Britannia.

It was a wonderful day enjoyed by all!

Minibus Outing

Another Tuesday = Another Minibus Outing!

We've continued our April visits to Sigglesthorne and what fun we have had. 

The sunshine really helps bring the colour of the flowers out and makes the visit more lovely for the outside portion of the Garden Centre.

We saw the flowers, looked round the fish tanks and browsed the Gift Shop - and enjoyed lunch in their Restaurant.

Next Tuesday is our final visit there for this month - watch this space for the exciting venues May has to offer!

Live performance from Matt Green

We had another fun filled morning of singing and dancing with a visit from Matt Green.

Musical activity has been found to improve residents' wellbeing and quality of life and here at Lindum House we always make sure our monthly activity schedule includes plenty of musical, engaging activities! Thank you Matt for another wonderful visit!

Minibus Adventures

We enjoyed a visit to Sigglesthorne for an afternoon of enjoying the Sunshine.

Residents had a great time choosing which flowers we're going to plant in our new beds in the garden back at Lindum House that Bob and Andy have been busy building for us.

Roll on next Tuesday - we've got a few more Residents expressing wishes to go.

Visit from Minster W.I.

We would like to shared a special thanks to the Minster WI for coming and visiting our residents at Lindum House and leading an Easter Craft session. 

It was a fun filled creative afternoon, enjoyed by all!

National Puppy Day

What better to celebrate 'National Puppy Day than to invite our canine friends into the home, courtesy of 'Star-Paws Dancing Dogs' as they performed their live show 'Heel Work to Music'.

Residents had a great afternoon seeing our furry friend perform and we can't wait to welcome them back soon!
