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
Keeping Busy at Lindum
Here at Lindum, we had lots of fun with our parachute and balloons. Each resident had a coloured balloon and had to keep it in the parachute.
Arts & Crafts
We enjoyed decorating 'forget me not' flowers for Dementia UK. Afterwards, we indulged in a glass of fizz because arts and crafts is thirsty work.
Wacky Snacks
Here at Lindum House, we made whacky snacks out of fruit for Nutrition & Hydration week. Muriel (pictured) found this activity very fun and made a butterfly out of oranges and grapes, a car out of apples, grapes and cocktail sticks, and a boat out of apples and oranges.
Lindum's Race Day
Here at Lindum House, we held a race afternoon with a healthy buffet. The ladies enjoyed choosing odds on the horses and, if they won, were awarded with a prize from the lucky dip box. Fun was had by all, and Head Chef, Mo, prepared a delicious spread with a lovely display off different fruits.
Mother's Day
Here at Lindum House, we celebrated Mother’s Day by arranging a display of flowers for our tables, which looked stunning. Also, many lovely residents received wonderful gifts from their loved ones.
Time for a Cuppa
Here at Lindum House, we held a tea and cake afternoon along with a cake quiz for Dementia UK. Simon Foster, from Dementia UK, came along to join us for the tasty treats made by our Chef, Mo. Brenda from our local Co-op joined us and kindly donated some tasty treats as well. Thank you to everyone who supported us and helped us to raise over £100.
