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
Woodcocks Christmas Light Switch On
The residents of Tennyson Wharf were invited over to Woodcocks for their Christmas light switch on and we spent a great evening in their local community.
The Lincoln Concert Band made us feel very welcome & played Silent Night for one of residents, making us feel very special.
We are eager to welcome them to our home in December.
Thank you to everyone who helped with this outing, everyone had an amazing experience.
Keeping Active with Move it Mobility
A busy day here today at Tennyson Wharf care home.
Our residents started their day with a sensory morning of movement to music with Chris from Move-It Mobility UK Ltd
We also celebrated a wonderful birthday & this afternoon we spent time getting to know each other with an afternoon of time to talk. Our residents have responded to a number of important needs today, including social, physical & creative while boosting their esteem & emotional needs.
A Visit to Pennell's Garden Centre
A fabulous trip over to our local community this morning in North Hykeham - Pennells Garden Centre.

We had a lovely afternoon with some pumpkin inspired art. Residents certainly got creative with beads, buttons and paper. Some beautiful pumpkins were produced.
World Heart Day
Today, residents and staff commemorated World Heart Day through a lovely day of heart themed activities and nutritional treats
Our residents started the day by talking about what makes our own hearts happy. Sharing the special memories and items that we hold dear before filling our paper hearts. It was a really heart-warming morning spent together This afternoon, our lovely hostess, Donna came along to help us learn about how food and drink can help to keep our hearts healthy, through a variety of word games.
