Meet our Activities Coordinator, Joey Parkin

Joey is our activities co-ordinator and joined the team in 2019. She brings great enthusiasm and spark to Tennyson Wharf. Joey and her team are delivering an amazing, vibrant activities programme to cater to all tastes and abilities. It is their passion to ensure that residents, family, friends are left happy and content and very much looking forward to the next activity!

Activities at our home

Our activities team are great at building the activities programme around the likes and interests of the people we care for. Ensuring that our social events offer fun and adventure is part of the ethos of our home; it’s important that those we support can enjoy an active and social lifestyle. Of course, there will always be those who prefer peace and quiet, and in these instances, a cup of tea and a chat are always welcomed.

Life at Tennyson Wharf Care Home

IMPS in the Community

Residents enjoyed some fun games and activities thanks to the visit of Lincoln City Football Club's Imps in the community initiative.

Dog Show

Tennyson put on a dog show for our residents. Each dog won a rosette and bone. It was a fund day for our 3 judges too.

Parkinson's Information Talk

Graham Line from the Parkinson's Association kindly visited Tennyson Wharf to provide local nurses with an informative talk and Q&A session regarding Parkinson's disease.

Armchair Yoga

Residents and local guests enjoyed an afternoon armchair yoga class, which was hosted by Sally from David Lloyds health club. Everyone felt revitalized after the session. We look forward to the next session.

Cubs visit Tennyson

Tennyson welcomed the local Cubs group who decorated our resident's wheelchairs and Zimmer frames which helped the cubs work towards their community action badge. A lovey day, which ended with everyone playing on our magic table.
