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.

Thank you to everyone who joined us and a special thanks to The Barn Theatre in the Cotswolds for bringing this stage adaptation of the beloved sitcom to our screens.
Terrific Tunes Tuesday!
What a terrific Tuesday was had by all at Lindum House, Beverley, when our regular singer ‘lee Kamen’ returned on Tuesday 17th September.
It was such a terrific day, not a cloud in the sky and the sun was shining. So wanting to make the most of the beautiful weather, the activities coordinator, Kelly, and singer, Lee Kamen, agreed to have the session outside.
Lee sang some terrific tunes and did a couple of acapella singalongs with our residents. Kelly ran upstairs to remind residents of the singer & opened windows for those whom wished to listen. Lee sang his heart out and this also allowed our less fortunate residents to listen from their rooms.
Swinging around in the park!
On Monday 16th September, Staff and residents from Barchester’s Lindum House care home, in Beverley had a fantastic time visiting their local park, where they all enjoyed a spin on the roundabout and some enjoyed the swings!
The weather was beautiful, with a blue sky and the sun shining, activities staff & residents, all took a stroll to the local park, where they reminisced about their childhoods.
Some residents had a go on the wheel-chair friendly roundabout, whilst others relived the joy of the swings. Activities staff said “The smiles and laughter make it so worthwhile”
Fish & chips by the sea
Thursdays are now our ‘Trip Thursday’. On Thursday the 12th & 19th September, Staff and residents from Barchester’s Lindum House care home, in Beverley had a fantastic time visiting Hornsea sea front where they all enjoyed a stroll along the sea front, fish & chips and arcades to finish.
Residents and staff had a brilliant time. We all began with a stroll along the sea front, taking in the fresh sea air & pure beauty. Then popped into Sullivans, whom were great at accommodating us and enjoyed our fish & chip lunches. Short stroll around to the arcade, where we all enjoyed the 2p & 10p machines.
One of our residents said: “We have all had the most wonderful time visiting Hornsea. It is so lovely to be able to visit places like this, It’s been years since I last came, hasn’t changed much, but I used to visit weekly with the kids.”
