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
Thank You Cards
Good will gestures by way of thank you cards from resident’s families along with penpal cards from the local school children continue to arrive at Tennyson Wharf on a daily basis.
Ice Creams
Kelly (our head housekeeper) brought a variety of delicious ice creams for all of our residents and staff to enjoy on a hot afternoon.
Goodbye
Staff at Tennyson Wharf came together to say goodbye to one of our respite care residents who we have helped back to recovery. She will be missed.
Activity Box
One of our residents 'Indira' just received her new activity box which has been devised specifically for her likes and interests. It has a large sketch book, pencils, quizzes, trivia and even simplified tapestry projects. She was so happy with her new box of tricks.
My Back Garden
We entered our resident Peter on behalf of Tennyson Wharf for BBC's One show's Chelsea garden competition called “my back garden”. Pictures speak a thousand words and shows how the simple things in life are most poignant, beautiful and rewarding.
VE Day Celebrations
Residents enjoyed VE celebrations at Tennyson Wharf. The staff also went the extra mile by dressing up in 1940s attire to add to the day. The flags were flying high.
