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
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.

These lovely messages during this current challenging period for all added some much loved festive cheer throughout the home and everyone at Lindum House would like to say a massive thank you. The correspondence has all been through the ‘Hearts for Homes’ initiative.
Magic table fun
Residents at Lindum House always enjoy the interaction from the homes ‘Magic Table’. Here at Lindum House, our residents enjoy the interaction fun on the ‘Magic Table’. The Magic Table is a great hit with residents as it ensures that the residents are able to interact with meaningful games through the wonders of the Tovertafel.
Home amongst first to receive vaccinations
Staff at Barchester’s Lindum House care home, in Beverley, were delighted to be invited to have the vaccination at Castle Hill Hospital in Cottingham, which 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.”
Kelly Scott, activities co-ordinator at Lindum House said: “I am so pleased to be given the vaccine. It will help to keep our residents safe, and is the first step in getting things back to normal and having a buzz of visitors in the home once again.”
Getting into the festive spirit
Residents at Lindum House are getting into the festive spirit and have been busy decorating the home with their Christmas trees, lights and baubles creating a magical display throughout. The ladies were kept busy and whilst dressing the tree enjoyed the sounds of classics like ‘mistletoe and wine’ before sitting back to enjoy their results. It was a fun filled day for all. The home is entering their finest trees and decorations into the annual Barchester 'best dressed' Christmas tree competition, we think we are on to a winner!
Designated meeting suite keeping Residents connected
Residents are overjoyed at Lindum House care home in Beverley, as Barchester Healthcare has implemented a visiting suite for residents to continue to spend time with their loved ones for the autumn and winter seasons in addition to the outdoor visiting that has been on offer for those able for many months.
Balancing resident wellbeing and safety is at the forefront of Barchester Healthcare’s thinking and they understand how important it is for residents and their family and friends to be able to spend time together in the safest way possible.
