Activites at Lindum House Care Home

Our home is inviting members of the local community to join them at their weekly book club, hosted by local volunteer Glen.

The sessions take place every Monday at 10:30am, offering a warm and welcoming space for book lovers to come together, share their thoughts, and enjoy lively discussions over a cup of tea and a slice of cake, courtesy of the home’s hospitality team.

Our home delighted to host a heart-warming “Coffee with a Firefighter” event, welcoming members of the local fire brigade into the home for an afternoon of conversation, community spirit, and delicious treats.

Residents, visitors, and staff had the pleasure of chatting with our dedicated firefighters, learning about their daily work and hearing stories from the local area—all while enjoying freshly brewed tea and coffee in our cosy lounge.

The home was also thrilled to welcome the children from the ‘Safe n Sound Nurseries and Pre School’ who were incredibly excited to join us in the firefighting themed fun. 
 

Our home was filled with animal mischief as we welcomed the beautiful  alpacas from 'Alpacas at The Field' in Dunswell, for another wonderfully informative & engaging visit.

Its always a pleasure meeting new animals, our residents & staff got to learn about the Alpacas & feel just how soft they are! The sun was shining and there was joy & happiness in abundance.

The summer sunshine saw our home's 'Green Fingers Club' take to the gardens!

Our residents love to get outside and help maintain their gardens, whether it be watering, seeding or weeding.

Our green spaces offer a quiet place to relax, a place to be entertained and most importantly within a safe place which can be enjoyed by all.

our home was full of animal mischief on Thursday 22nd May when the mobile Furry Friends came to visit the home.

Residents at the home were pleasantly surprised to see animals such as baby bunnies, turtles, lizards, snakes and skinny pigs entering our living area as the wonderful ladies at Furry Friends paid a visit.

The animals were a huge hit and we can't wait until furry friends visit us again in the future. 

It was all aboard the minibus as our residents headed out for had a delightful trip to the Cherry Trees Garden Centre. 

We admired and discussed the vibrant and colourful selection flowers before treating themselves to a well-earned cup of tea and cake in the café.

Everyone had a lovely time and we can't thank our hosts enough at the garden centre.

Our home marked National Donut Week with a heartfelt gesture of appreciation for their local heroes. 

In a spirit of community and thanks, the home delivered a delicious selection of donuts to the local fire station, thanking the firefighters for their unwavering dedication and service.
The sweet treats were delivered on behalf of the residents, who wanted to show their appreciation for the bravery and commitment of the fire crew.

Lindum House marked the 80th anniversary of Victory in Europe Day in style by throwing a 1940s afternoon tea party to remember.  The home and residents were decorated and dressed in red, white and blue and enjoyed an afternoon of 1940’s-inspired music and dancing.

Head chef Matt Carr whipped up a delicious selection of freshly-baked biscuits, sandwiches, cakes and pastries for the occasion, all washed down with pots of tea and a celebratory glass of fizz to mark the occasion.
