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
Musical bingo
Lindum House are always looking at adapting and changing their life enrichment programme to ensure that their firm favourites are interesting and engaging. Bingo has always been a firm favourite, this time the Activities team held a game of Bingo with a twist.
As the ladies gathered the sound of music could be heard, as they settled back and eyes down they engaged in a game of bingo whilst enjoying a good old singsong to some favourite tunes, with an Abba theme. Everyone had fun.
Residents get pampered
The ladies at Lindum House recently enjoyed a beauty day at the home courtesy of the staff from the home swapping roles for the day to treat residents to hair and beauty treatments. Honouring the women residents at the home, colleagues supported with a range of beauty kits in the salon to pamper and beautify. The hospitality team at the home also served a spread of teas and cakes for all to enjoy to the delight of all!
Sharon Bowtell, General Manager said: “It’s always a lovely treat to be pampered, and our residents deserve it. We do our best to provide a wide range of activities and entertainment at the home as part of the lifestyle enrichment programme for residents, and this one was our most fashionable fun! Living in a care home doesn’t put a stop to celebrating life, and our engaging activities are designed to be enjoyed by all who want to join in”
Residents enjoy bread-making
Residents of Lindum House enjoyed an afternoon of bread making, as they kneaded the dough to make their own bread rolls conversation soon turned to reminiscing of days gone by of making their own bread and discussing the many different ingredients added today. Freshly out of the oven Residents enjoyed eating the end results with their evening meal.
Something to do cart
At Lindum House they are always looking at new ways to keep Residents occupied and stimulated as part of the homes life enrichment programme and have discovered that the 'Something to do' cart is proving popular with everyone. The cart is taken around each morning to provide resident centred 1-1 activities for those wishing to stay in their room. The cart provides meaningful activities to suit the individual’s needs. Fun and games is had by all.
Exercising the mind & body
Keeping active, having social interactions and being mentally stimulated is very important to Residents at Lindum House. Lindum House not only engage in regular gentle exercise but they also enjoy exercising their brains with weekly quizzes, brain teasers, hangman, word ladders and much much more!
As part of the homes life enrichment programme, Kelly Scott, activities coordinator includes firm favourite’s in the homes calendar with fun-filled adapted games that they played over the years in a safe environment!
Come rain or shine!
It may be raining outside, but that has not stopped Resident, Muriel from smiling brightly and wearing her sun hat each day as she sits back and listens and reads the news from around the world whilst enjoying a cup of tea and a delicious home-made biscuit. Come rain or shine, Muriel is always smiling!
