Activities at Lindum House Care Home
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
Pumpkin Carving
Our residents celebrated Halloween with an afternoon of pumpkin carving. They started by cutting the lids then moved onto hollowing out the pumpkins - our residents reminisced on past Halloweens and previous designs they created with their children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
Kelly, our activities co-ordinator, assisted with cutting out the spooky designs once our residents had drawn them on the pumpkins.
National decorate a cake day!
Residents, staff and relatives celebrated 'National Decorate a Cake Day'. We had a baking group where residents enjoyed decorating cakes with jam, fresh cream and much more. Afterwards we enjoyed reminiscing about past baking residents had done for their family and friends whilst enjoying the freshly decorated cakes with tea and coffee.
World Food Day
We celebrated World Food and visited Greece, France, the Caribbean, India, America and Italy. Our Chef, Neil, put together a lovely menu to incorporate as many Countries as possible.
The flags on the tables became a quiz topic and our residents enjoyed guessing which flags corresponded to each menu item.
Family and friends were welcome to join us - we all had a fabulous day!
Donation to Food Bank
East Yorkshire Food Bank collected our donations which were kindly donated by staff, relatives and members of the community.
We would like to thank all who donated - they were very well received.
Annual Merchant Navy Day Commemorative Service
Our residents celebrated the Annual Merchant Navy Day Commemorative Service recently. We put their flag up on the wall as a backdrop, which really made it special. This was especially poignant as one of our Residents, Tom, was a Member of the Merchant Navy and sailed to America on the Ship.
We had the pleasure of welcoming Jim & Ken from Merchant Navy Immingham when they came to see our residents and to present Tom with a Tie and Lapels.
They also brought letters from the King and the Prime Minister for Tom to keep.
Wake up and shake up!
Kelly our activities co-ordinator frequently delivers a 'Wake up and Shake up' session for our residents. It is a great opportunity for our residents to start their day right by moving and dancing. What is better than a bit of music after breakfast to start your day?
