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.

Pindars Healthcare Design Awards
We have fought off strong competition to reach the short list for the Pinders’ Design Awards 2017.
Judges from Pinders visited our home when we were given the opportunity to ‘bring our drawings to life’ and explain our design more fully. Consideration was given to the overall design of our building, its façade, and how each separate area worked to the best advantage of residents, family, friends, staff and visitors.
We were delighted to accept a cheque for £500, which we have donated to Barchester's Charitable Foundation, and a trophy in recognition of our achievement thus far.
We are now very much looking forward to the awards ceremony being held in London on 15th March 2017, when the winner will be announced.
Employee of the Month - January
