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
Birds Of Prey
Tennyson Wharf recently had a visit from the flying kind. Derek visited with us with his assortment of birds. These included a Barn Owl and a Falcon. All the residents enjoyed meeting the birds and some were brave enough to hold the Owl.
Remembrance Sunday
Our residents paid their respects to the Fallen on Remembrance Sunday. Tenor Joshua Daniel sang well loved hymns, songs from musicals and various favourites in our cafe area. Residents waved flags and poppies were on sale to raise money for the British Legion.
Halloween
Tennyson Wharf held their annual Halloween party where the staff dressed up for the day. Our residents had a field day carving out their pumpkins and also made various cupcakes ready for Halloween party. It was a day of more treats than tricks!
PAT Dog Vist
Lottie our PAT Dog came to Tennyson Whaf and put a smile on our residents faces. Everyone enjoyed stroking and patting this lovely Cockapoo.
Coffee Morning
Residents visted the Old Rectory Nursing Home. They joined others for their coffee morning over some lovely homemade cake, whilst engaging in a stimulating pen pal intitiave.
Zoolab
Tennyson Wharf recently had visitors of a different kind! Zoolab visited our home with various different creatures and critters, including a Cockroach, a bearded lady (Lizard), a Tarantula to name just a few. The residents were given the opportunity to hold these animals if they felt brave enough.
