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.

Life at Lindum House Care Home
Football Fever from Forever Hull Tigers
Staff and residents have been gripped by football fever when they heard about a new project called ‘Forever Tigers’ was being launched by Tigers trust. Forever Tigers aims to increase engagement with the football club and tackle loneliness and isolation, predominantly with the elderly. The project uses memorabilia and heritage which celebrates the history of hull city, to encourage people to talk to one and other and socialise together.
General Manager, Jayne said: “It’s been the perfect opportunity for residents to do something different, and bring excitement and the local community into the home, our residents love joining in the games and reminiscing about their favourite players, everyone has really gotten into the footie spirit!”
Resident Clary Smith said: “I’ve really enjoyed this session, I’ve supported Hull City for a great many years and can’t wait for next month when they return!”
Daisy, Daisy!
The Magic Table provided some Magic Moments this morning - including a rousing sing song of "Daisy Daisy" when we played the Flower game, sharing some memories of baking cakes, "this little fishy on a little dishy", and just generally having a lovely time whilst marvelling at Technology.
Mayor opens allotment garden
Staff and residents at Lindum House have been hard at work creating a fantastic allotment garden for everyone to enjoy. The home’s beautiful gardens have always been the heart of the Lindum House community but this year, at the residents’ request, activities and maintenance staff decided to create a brand new allotment area.
The grand opening took place on April 30th attended by Beverley town council’s Deputy Mayor, Councillor David Boynton who cut the ribbon opening the new allotment area and commented: “It really is a pleasure to be here today to open this wonderful new allotment for the residents at Lindum House to enjoy.”
The new space has something for all the senses with a huge array of edible plants, raised beds and wheelchair-friendly walkways making it accessible for all. Different beds are filled with vegetables, fruit and herbs such as strawberries, carrots, onions, beans and rosemary plants, there are just too many to list! They really have thought of everything.
Celebrating Cadbury's
Residents across our services had a wonderful time joining Cadbury for an interactive virtual talk on their fascinating 200-year history.
Residents joining learnt interesting facts about the chocolate giant, shared memories, and reminisced about their favourite sweet treats.
It was a heart warming experience filled with laughter, nostalgia, and plenty of chocolatey goodness!
