Activities at Tennyson Wharf Care 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
Intergenerational Visit
We had a wonderful time yesterday with our weekly visit from Caterpillar Music Newark.
Residents and children had great fun singing and playing with bubbles. The sessions always bring so much joy to the home and we always look forward to seeing them.
We look forward to welcoming the children back again next week!
Weekly visit from Caterpillar Music
We had wonderful morning at Tennyson Wharf welcoming back the children from Caterpillar Music for our weekly visit. Smiles all round and what wonderful way to spend a Monday Morning.
Fun Filled Mornings
A fun packed morning started off with a gentle warm up to Classical Music, closely followed by Seated Line dancing.
Everyone was having such fun and still had some energy left so we finished off with Movement and Singing with Alexa, YMCA, Hokey Cokey and other firm favourites.
Virtual Sensory Storytelling Session
Our residents were treated to a special virtual sensory storytelling session.
Together with Art Historian Jon Sleigh and the Historic Royal Palaces community team, we explored several royal palaces through the theme of food, dining and celebration!
We enjoyed a fantastic taste-a-long experience from the comfort of our home, from Tudor treats to Stuart sweets.
A lovely time was had by all.
Weekly visit from Caterpillar Music
Monday morning is Caterpillar Music time for the residents of Tennyson Wharf!
This intergenerational group encourages communication and social skills, both for the children and our residents.
It helps develop language and reading through shared activities and increases confidence and self-esteem all round.
Falls Stop Event
We had a great time welcoming Imp Healthcare to Tennyson Wharf to celebrate their Fallstop programme.
Our residents learnt many valuable things from the afternoon. We will be peddling our way over to Lincoln Cathedral, with our map of how far we are travelling.
We are promoting physical activity with our Healthcare Pedal Exerciser supplied by Imp Healthcare for our residents to use.
