Activities at Tennyson Wharf Care Home

We had a lovely relaxing, creative afternoon this week when a local artist Louise Earnshaw L Earnshaw Artist came in.

We were taught how to use watercolours to paint some beautiful spring flowers. We all enjoyed being creative and were very proud of our paintings.

Residents and Colleagues at Tennyson Wharf Care Home in Burton Water, Lincoln were treated to a visit from a pair of beautiful therapy pets. 

Therapy Dogs have a wonderful calming effect and the residents love to stroke them, talk to them and play with them.

The home was visited by Jazz and Jueves, two beautiful therapy dogs caused a great deal of excitement.  All of the residents enjoyed the visit, they petted and fed the animals who seemed to appreciate meeting their new friends.
