Activities at Lindum House Care Home

Lindum House are always looking at adapting and changing their life enrichment programme to ensure that their firm favourites are interesting and engaging. Bingo has always been a firm favourite, this time the Activities team held a game of Bingo with a twist.

As the ladies gathered the sound of music could be heard, as they settled back and eyes down they engaged in a game of bingo whilst enjoying a good old singsong to some favourite tunes, with an Abba theme.  Everyone had fun.

The ladies at Lindum House recently enjoyed a beauty day at the home courtesy of the staff from the home swapping roles for the day to treat residents to hair and beauty treatments.   Honouring the women residents at the home, colleagues supported with a range of beauty kits in the salon to pamper and beautify. The hospitality team at the home also served a spread of teas and cakes for all to enjoy to the delight of all!

Sharon Bowtell, General Manager said: “It’s always a lovely treat to be pampered, and our residents deserve it. We do our best to provide a wide range of activities and entertainment at the home as part of the lifestyle enrichment programme for residents, and this one was our most fashionable fun! Living in a care home doesn’t put a stop to celebrating life, and our engaging activities are designed to be enjoyed by all who want to join in”

Residents of Lindum House enjoyed an afternoon of bread making, as they kneaded the dough to make their own bread rolls conversation soon turned to reminiscing of days gone by of making their own bread and discussing the many different ingredients added today. Freshly out of the oven Residents enjoyed eating the end results with their evening meal.

At Lindum House they are always looking at new ways to keep Residents occupied and stimulated as part of the homes life enrichment programme and have discovered that the 'Something to do' cart is proving popular with everyone.  The cart is taken around each morning to provide resident centred 1-1 activities for those wishing to stay in their room. The cart provides meaningful activities to suit the individual’s needs. Fun and games is had by all.

Keeping active, having social interactions and being mentally stimulated is very important to Residents at Lindum House.  Lindum House not only engage in regular gentle exercise but they also enjoy exercising their brains with weekly quizzes, brain teasers, hangman, word ladders and much much more!

As part of the homes life enrichment programme, Kelly Scott, activities coordinator includes firm favourite’s in the homes calendar with fun-filled adapted games that they played over the years in a safe environment!

It may be raining outside, but that has not stopped Resident, Muriel from smiling brightly and wearing her sun hat each day as she sits back and listens and reads the news from around the world whilst enjoying a cup of tea and a delicious home-made biscuit.  Come rain or shine, Muriel is always smiling!
