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
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. Our amazing kitchen team also provided a tasty and nutritious, fresh fruit platter and some beautiful heart biscuits to help us celebrate the day
World's Biggest Coffee morning
World's biggest coffee morning, What an amazing morning we had here at Tennyson Wharf, taking part in the world's biggest coffee morning for Macmillan. We had a great time welcoming everyone into our home and hosting this special event with a spectacular range of cakes and tasty treats to enjoy as well as a great raffle
It was also great to welcome Helen, who works for Gainsborough Macmillan, along to share her knowledge and advice to others and members from our local community. Together we raised £177.59 so thank you everyone who helped and supported us today .
World Mental Health Day
At Tennyson Wharf we recognised World Mental Health Day. Our residents spent some time talking about why our mental health is just as important as our physical health. We had a morning of positivity, filling our jar with wonderful, affirming words about ourselves and others around us. It was lovely to hear so much positivity being shared helping us boost our self-esteem. We continued to boost our self-esteem in the afternoon with a well-deserved pamper session. We enjoyed facials, hand massage, foot soaks and nails.

Harvest Festival Service
Yesterday we were blessed to have a visit from Springline Church. Reverend Judy and her team supported staff and residents' spiritual needs with a beautiful Harvest Festival service.

International Bomber Command Centre
Tennyson Wharf felt truly honored to go on a tour around the site to learn so much about the history and hear touching, personal stories. Learning about the survival statistics for those brave men and the facts about what they endured was breath taking. What a special, educational opportunity to visit!
