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.

The residents had a fabulous time celebrating Her Majesty's 90th birthday; we sang Happy Birthday to the Queen and sang the National Anthem. We had lots of entertainment and the residents were singing and dancing all afternoon. Fun was had by all.
A Trip to Burnby Hall Gardens
On the 5th may, we all went on a trip to see Burnby Hall Gardens in Pocklington for the tulip festival. The weather was fantastic and we all really enjoyed the day. The residents saw all of the lovely flowers and the fish in the lake. We then had lunch outside in the gorgeous grounds. I would like to thank all of the staff and resident's families that came along with us.
Baking Buns for Easter
One of the residents has been baking buns for Easter! Emma Hope enjoyed making the buns and decorating them for everyone to enjoy. The best part was definitely eating them! Yum, yum, yum!
Pancake Flipping
A few of the residents from Lindum House have been flipping their pancakes! Everyone had loads of fun and luckily none got stuck to the ceiling! The residents had all different flavours on their pancakes and really enjoyed the fun. Even the Unit Manager had a go at flipping pancakes! Well done Rowean.
PAT Dog Visit
Here is one of the residents, Pat Elston having a visit from Isla, The PAT Dog. Pat really enjoyed the time she spent with Isla as you can see by her face. Isla also spent time going round the home visiting all the other residents. Isla is a regular visitor here at Lindum House, the residents really look forward to her coming to see them!
