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
Piano Playing
Our talented residents at Tennyson Wharf entertained one another by playing some lovely classical tunes on the Piano in the reception area.
DIY Morning
Our 96 year old resident 'Peter' fancied turning back time and volunteered his services and expertise to help with alterations in Tennyson Wharf's reception area.
Virtual Dog Competition
Dolly-Jolene has been entered into Tennyson Wharf's virtual dog competition. Dolly is an adorable and cheeky English Bulldog who is three years old. Let’s hope she wins best dressed dog!
Hair Pampering
Zoe one of our experienced carers is a lady of many talents. She is also a qualifed hairdresser and has been treating our residents to some hair pampering at Tennyson Wharf.
Magic Table
At Tennyson Wharf, we have introduced a Magic Table offering opportunities for those living with dementia to increase physical and social interactions and, most of all, have fun. The Magic Table is an interactive light projector designed to support residents living with dementia and is proven to help staff promote stimulation through specialised games. The colourful light projections respond to hand and arm movements, enabling residents to play with the light itself, increasing both movement and stimulation.
Basketball
Residents on our special memory lane community were having fun playing basketball at Tennyson Wharf.
