Activities at Lindum House Care Home

Residents at Lindum House in Beverley celebrated International Flower Day which took place on 19thJanuary.

International Flower Day promotes the psychological boost that flowers can give to people. From growing and nurturing plants and flowers, to gifting flowers to show love and appreciation, and sometimes just the simple act of admiring their beauty – flowers have the power to make someone’s day. 

Residents took part in flower-based activities throughout the day including flower arranging, reminiscing about their gardens and flowers in the home’s garden, virtual visits to famous gardens on YouTube, and a flower quiz which everyone really enjoyed.  Their collective knowledge about flowers gained from years of gardening experience was very impressive.      

Residents at Barchester’s Lindum House care home, in Beverley, were delighted to receive their vaccination from Karebor, Mark, Hannah and Lydia from the Beverley PCN care home team. It has lifted everyone’s spirits after what has been a very challenging year for everyone.
