Activities at Lindum House Care Home
Our teams are trained to enrich the lives of residents through stimulating the mind, body and soul, and taking the time to learn about each person to ensure everyone receives support that adds enrichment to their life. Our fantastic Activities Coordinators make sure that there is a full programme of social events to suit all interests and capabilities. They aim to not only to stimulate, but to ensure that everyone involved has lots of fun. We enjoy trips out visiting local places of interest or just to explore, which inevitably ends up with us having a lovely lunch somewhere.
There are regular concerts that we hold in the home that allows us to have a good old singalong, and our community links include the local churches, knit and natter groups and toddler groups coming in to see residents.
On a daily basis, everyone enjoys a variety of activities, including quizzes, bingo, arts and crafts, reminiscing and movement to music. We also host movie afternoons on the big screen which, of course, involves popcorn and ice cream at the interval!
Any residents who are unable to join us in the communal areas for activities have one-to-one time in their rooms, with us either reading to them, chatting or anything else they wish to do that’s within their capabilities.
Kelly Rolph
Hi there, I'm Kelly. My role at Lindum House ensures all of our residents always have lots of fun activities to look forward too.
I grew up down south, my parents worked in news trade & I've lived in many places! I've lived in hull for 20 years now, worked in health and social care for around 15 years, I started on care, worked through domestic, kitchen assistant and found my calling with activities!
I'm a super social person, enjoy being busy and sing in my spare time. I am part of a small singing charity group 'guise & gals'. I've been singing karaoke since I was 18 but never had the confidence to take it any further. I do, however, love putting on a show for our residents!
I'm a strong believer in 'treat people how you wish to be treated' everyone is different and it's important to focus on each individuals wants and needs, to encourage and nurture life, you only live once!
I'm full of energy, providing there is music... it's good for my soul!
Our residents smiles are my reward, it makes me so happy to see them enjoying them selves.
Activities and Events Partnerships
As part of our bespoke life-enrichment programmes, we host a number of live virtual events in the home on a regular basis through a number of partnerships with places of interest and world class performance companies
Life at Lindum House Care Home
Classical Tuesday Sing-a-long!
Lindum House residents had a relaxing afternoon, listening to Michael (piano) & Judith (Cello), playing classical music & folk songs.
Michael handed out some lyric books to the residents, so they could all join in. The residents really enjoyed singing along to these 'good old' tunes.
One of our residents said "it’s funny how you hear the music and the words just come flooding back".
Valentine's Day Celebrations!
Our home was filled with flowers, cards and balloons as we celebrated the day of love with sweet treats and thoughtful gifts to the sound of classic love songs.
We marked the occasion by having a 'love song' singalong & a Valentine's colouring session. We also made little Valentine’s hearts for our residents & presented them with a single rose. We currently have 3 married couples here at Lindum, so we offered the husband the gift giving. This was a special moment for all our couples.
It was a beautiful day and heart-warming to see everyone come together to celebrate.
Alpacas in the Garden!
Lindum House residents welcomed ‘Alpacas at The Field, Dunswell’ into their award-winning gardens. Residents thoroughly enjoyed meeting the Alpacas.
It's always a pleasure meeting new animals, and getting up close to touch/feel them. Admittedly, it wasn't the best of days. We had hoped for a bit of sunshine, but it was worth it to learn about the Alpacas & get to fuss them up!
The joy & happiness these animals brought us really did brighten up our Sunday.
Residents have a hoot!
Lindum House had an absolute ‘hoot’ this week when Owl Adventures visited the home.
Residents were pleasantly surprised to see their new feathered friends flying around the lounges as Owl Adventures paid a visit and hosted an interactive meet and greet with their beautiful birds.
Their engaging animal therapy sessions are thoughtfully tailored to meet the unique needs of each home, ensuring every resident can participate fully.
A spot of retail therapy at North Point
Staff and residents had a fantastic time visiting North Point shopping centre where they all enjoyed taking part in a walk round the shops and stopped to have a chat with the locals in the social hub.
Residents and staff had a brilliant time at ‘Bransholme Chat at The Living Room’ where they all enjoyed taking part in potting up spring bulbs, a nice hot cuppa soup and a lovely social chat. Staff at the living room were kind enough to gift some bulbs to the home for their gardens.
Intergenerational Storytelling
Lindum House has been hosting an intergenerational playgroup for residents and members of the local community. The event, which takes place every Wednesday morning, welcomes the local nursery ‘Safe N Sound’ to enjoy music, games and activities with residents at the home.
The local nursery also enjoyed singing along with residents to their favourite nursery rhymes such as ‘How much is that doggie in the window’ and ‘Row, row, row your boat’.
