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
Volunteer Recognition Day
Our volunteers are wonderful; they give up their time to improve the lives of others, which is no small thing, and the difference they make is amazing.
To say ‘thank you’, we celebrated Volunteer Recognition Day in style with flowers and champagne. The above photo was taken on our terrace, which overlooks the beautiful marina.
Would you would like to volunteer? To find out more, please speak to our General Manager, Katie Daysley, or click here.
