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.

Life at Lindum House Care Home
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.
Remembrance creations
Residents of Lindum House were very creative in making their own poppies ready for Remembrance day to pay their respect to the fallen whilst sharing poetry readings of ‘in flanders fields’. Resident Diane said “I enjoyed making these poppies, it is important for us to remember”
Fireworks at Lindum
Residents enjoyed a fun-filled day and night of activities as they celebrated Bonfire night. Celebrations were kicked off with a quiz and facts about the gunpowder plot.
What better way to end the day, with a firework display; followed by a delicious bonfire buffet. Resident Sally said, “the fireworks were amazing, it took me back to when I was younger”.
The team at Lindum House worked together to create this magical day and night for the residents and were delighted to see the smiles on their faces at the end of the day.
Halloween fun for Residents
Barchester’s Lindum House care home was a den of ghoulish activity as the home’s spooky Halloween party got in to full swing.
Staff and residents got in to the spirit of things with games, pumpkin carving and much more! It was a spooktacular fun filled day filled with laughter! Residents also enjoyed delicious home-made cakes prepared by the homes hospitality team over a cup of tea.
Home hosts local art competition
Lindum House held an art competition with the children from local Keldmarsh Primary School in Beverley as part of the homes on-going intergenerational links. The children sent in 28 amazing colourful pieces of art for our residents to judge.
Residents really enjoyed looking through the art and found it hard to choose a winner, as they felt they were all winners. Thank you to Rachel Lloyd and all the children from Keldmarsh Primary, prizes are on their way.
