Activities at Tennyson Wharf Care Home

We had a fabulous morning visiting the Bomber Command Centre. We spent our time learning about the history of Bomber command, the people who served and remembered all those who died in WWII. We had a peaceful walk around the gardens seeing all the memorial tributes. This was followed by a cup of tea in the café where we reminisced about where we were when the war was declared and the different things they could remember.

To celebrate World Book Lovers day we decided to invite in the Lincolnshire Mobile Library Van to our home. Residents loved choosing their books to read and have signed up to ‘books and more to your door’, where they will have books and audio books delivered to their door every month. Our residents were over the moon as they could have books that suited their personal needs, whether it was in larger print or books they could listen too. The residents are looking forward to receiving books every month to read.

Residents across our services had a fantastic time joining Mandy Morrow for a virtual walking tour to learn about the ‘Herstory’ of Mayfair. The Mayfair of Nightingales may be long gone but it still holds a 20th century charm. Birthplace to the late Queen Elizabeth II, home to one of WWII's most decorated female war heroes and a tale of a wealthy Aristocrat and one of France's favourite designers.

We were delighted to take a walk down memory lane and discover stories from one of London's most iconic areas.  The experience was truly enjoyed by all.

Residents across our homes had a fantastic time during a special live virtual event in celebration on National Ice Cream Day. Wall’s team took us on a great journey through history, sharing fascinating details about the brand since its launch in 1922. We learned about major innovations such as the introduction of Mr Whippy, Cornetto, Viennetta, Twister, and Carte d'Or.

Residents were treated to a singalong to Cornetto classic ads, an interactive quiz about fun Wall’s facts and best-of-all, an ice-cream tasting session. It was a delightful experience for everyone, especially our ice-cream lovers.

We had the pleasure of seeing some stunning classic cars. They were bought in by a lovely gentleman who shared his love for his cars with our staff and residents. Seeing these brought back lots of happy memories and we reminisced about the days gone by.

Every month we welcome the leaders of All Saints Church in Nettleham into our home for a Church Service. Residents were missing being in a Church so we arranged a visit, we took part in the beautiful service and we all enjoyed singing and taking part in the communion.
