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
Pub Trip
Some of our residents enjoyed a trip to a local pub for Fathers Day. We are also delighted to say that we are developing our own pub in house at Tennyson Wharf for all of our residents to enjoy! Watch this space!!
Vintage Cars
We love to take our residents on trips out - more recently we saw a local vintage car show. Residents were able to have a go as passenger in some of these lovely cars.
Tree of Life
Our residents at Tennyson Wharf have been busy creating a 'Tree of Life' to add to the decorations in our memory lane community. Residents had lots of fun with paints, including making handprints!
Football Trophy!
At Tennyson Wharf, we were lucky enough to be able to have the Sky Bet League 2 Trophy visit our residents and staff. It was amazing to see the reactions of the residents and helping them feel part of the Lincoln City community even if they can’t attend matches anymore. Many of them weren’t football fans as such but were blown away with the occasion and being able to hold something so precious.
Football Fever
Lincoln City Football Club visited us recently. In attendance, we had to two past footballers who played in the 1940s, and a current player, Harry Toffolo. The residents enjoyed talking to each footballer in turn, discussing the various memorabilia on show.
Dementia Café Opening
We launched our very own Dementia Café on Tuesday 2nd April, and were joined by Music for Health as well, who play lots of music that residents know and love.
We were also joined by representatives of the Alzheimer's Society, who were on hand to provide advice and guidance for those who required it.
We hosted various games and activities for the everyone, including dominoes and colouring, whilst enjoying light refreshments and some lovely homemade cakes.
This event is open to all, free of charge and happens the first Tuesday of every month.
