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
Halloween Celebrations
Here at Lindum House we celebrated Halloween in style. With live entertainment from our Alf Berry, pumpkin carving and also a competition to see who could keep their hat on the longest.
The winner was Donald to the surprise and amusement from his family. Well done, Donald!
Home Recognises Volunteer
Residents, visitors and colleagues at Lindum House recently recognised their volunteer, Helen to celebrate her birthday and to thank her for all her time and support that she gives to the home. Lindum is a home close to Helen’s heart as she begun to visit when a loved one was a resident before becoming a volunteer some 3-years ago.
Residents and colleagues are appreciated and are grateful for her time and to celebrate her birthday threw a party for her with a delicious birthday cake baked by the home's hospitality team. To top off the celebrations, the Lindum girls joined Helen for a little competitive go-karting! Happy Birthday Helen.
World Animal Day
We celebrated World Animal Day by inviting Daisy and Buttercup the Shetland ponies and Swipper the polecat from Furry Friends to come and spend the morning with us.
Everyone enjoyed interacting with these amazing animals. Thank you Helen and the girls from Furry Friends for letting us meet your rescued animals.
Autumn Newsletter
East Riding Care Home Games
Each year at Lindum House, we are invited along to the Beverley Leisure Centre to take part in the East Riding Care home Games. The ladies really enjoyed the game of boccia bowls and interacting with the other local homes. Fun was had by all!
Keyboard Queen
Pictured here is our lovely Esme playing the keyboard for our monthly church service. Esme has been playing the church organ for over 40 years in her local church in Woodmansey. She says she has really enjoyed playing and felt like she was giving something back to her church and community and felt honoured to play.
Here at Lindum House we wanted to maintain that honour, and we got a keyboard kindly donated to us, so we were able to bring Esme back into the forefront. Esme now plays beautifully at our Church service!
