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
Trip to the pub!
Over the weekend we took residents for a trip to our local pub Woodcocks, for a drink or two!
For some of our residents, a trip to the pub can be associated with many happy memories from their younger years and with Family. We are so lucky to have a lovely pub right on our doorstep for residents to enjoy, especially now the weather is improving!
Easter Celebrations
We’ve had a fantastic few days of Easter celebrations here at Tennyson Wharf from indulging in Chocolate treats, making our very own delicious crispy cakes, playing a variety of themed games and enjoying a special Easter Church Service.
Everyone has had a wonderful time!
Spring is here!
Residents had a fantastic afternoon making some fat balls ready to put outside to feed the birds!
So many residents here at Tennyson Wharf love watching the birds and we can’t wait to welcome more to our lovely garden!
Crufts
Residents at Tennyson Wharf have been glued to their screens to watch the pups being put through their paces. They have been avidly watching the judging of all the different breeds and waiting to see which dogs have been selected to go through to the next round of judging. But best of all they love the agility competitions where the dogs all seem to have so much fun!
Monday Funday
We welcomed back Caterpillar Music Newark for their weekly visit, and what a fantastic morning we had as always!
Children were dressed up as superheroes and residents had a great time interacting with them.
The photos and smiles say it all.
The Wallace Collection Virtual Talk
We had a lovely time joining Holly and Roxanne from the Wallace Collection for a virtual sensory talk in recognition of International Women’s Day.
The Wallace Collection a national museum in a historic London town house.
During the session, our residents had the opportunity to explore together two different, yet inspiring, women from the Collection, with music and discussion.
We all had a fantastic time and we truly enjoyed the immersive experience.
