Activities at Lindum House Care Home

At Lindum House care home, we have recently bid a fond well to Operations Manager, Catherine Campbell who has been supporting in the home.  Catherine supported the home throughout the festive period and we wanted to say a ‘big thank you’ to Catherine as she moves to support another home in the division.  Catherine was presented with a bouquet of beautiful colourful flowers and a small gift as a token of our appreciation.  We wish Catherine well and good luck in her future work.

Here at Lindum House we are proudly wearing our ‘Badges of Pride’, given by Barchester Healthcare in recognition of leading by example, being together in our purpose, and having played our part in the fight against Covid19.  The badges are being worn with pride to share our positive vaccine experience with our colleagues and others, so they can play their part too.

Lindum House care home in Beverley prepared a traditional Burns Night Supper to the tune of bagpipes and the fun continued well into the wee small hours.

Staff and residents at the home were involved in a number of activities, with poetry recitals from Robert Burns virtually, Bagpipes and Highland Dancing. We also enjoyed tasting Haggis with a drop of Whiskey to mark the Scottish institution, including giving the time-honoured address to the ‘Great chieftain O’ the pudding’ race’ – the haggis.

General Manager, Catherine Campbell, at Lindum House, thought it was a perfect occasion to celebrate an evening steeped in age-old tradition as well as getting in a spot of Scotch whisky tasting, reading a selection of Burns’ poems and virtual tour of Edinburgh Castle and Balmoral Castle.

Residents at Lindum House in Beverley celebrated International Flower Day which took place on 19thJanuary.

International Flower Day promotes the psychological boost that flowers can give to people. From growing and nurturing plants and flowers, to gifting flowers to show love and appreciation, and sometimes just the simple act of admiring their beauty – flowers have the power to make someone’s day. 

Residents took part in flower-based activities throughout the day including flower arranging, reminiscing about their gardens and flowers in the home’s garden, virtual visits to famous gardens on YouTube, and a flower quiz which everyone really enjoyed.  Their collective knowledge about flowers gained from years of gardening experience was very impressive.      

Residents at Barchester’s Lindum House care home, in Beverley, were delighted to receive their vaccination from Karebor, Mark, Hannah and Lydia from the Beverley PCN care home team. It has lifted everyone’s spirits after what has been a very challenging year for everyone.

General Manager, Catherine Campbell said: “Last year was a year like no other and the vaccine feels like the light at the end of the tunnel.  Our teams have been magnificent in how they have risen to every challenge during this pandemic and we are proud to play our part in this next phase to ensure the most vulnerable are protected.”

Here at Lindum House, our residents enjoyed a number of virtual events as they counted down to Christmas including virtual carol concert on the big screen courtesy of the school children from South Coates Primary and Cleeve Primary Schools.  The pupils performed a selection of Christmas carol classics to the delight of residents.
