Activities at Tennyson Wharf Care Home
Our activities team are great at building the activities programme around the likes and interests of the people we care for. Ensuring that our social events offer fun and adventure is part of the ethos of our home; it’s important that those we support can enjoy an active and social lifestyle. Of course, there will always be those who prefer peace and quiet, and in these instances, a cup of tea and a chat are always welcomed.

Life at Tennyson Wharf Care Home
Poppy Day
Residents at Tennyson Wharf were busy producing their final few bits of creativity for the home's Poppy Day, as everyone prepares for remembrance Sunday.
Pumpkin Carving Competition
Residents at Tennyson Wharf were happy to be the proud judges of the local school's pumpkin carving competition. All entries were terrific and it was tough nominating a winner.
Words of Wisdom
Residents at Lancaster Grange had fun sharing their words of wisdom of what keeps them happy and living longer, coupled with some sound advice for the younger generation.
Halloween Treats
Residents at Tennyson Wharf enjoyed making some Halloween treats for one another.
Magic Table
At Tennyson Wharf, we have introduced a Magic Table offering opportunities for those living with dementia to increase physical and social interactions and, most of all, have fun. The Magic Table is an interactive light projector designed to support residents living with dementia and is proven to help staff promote stimulation through specialised games. The colourful light projections respond to hand and arm movements, enabling residents to play with the light itself, increasing both movement and stimulation.
Raising a Glass
Residents at Tennyson Wharf raised a glass to say thank you to Morrison's for their kind donations for World Food Day. There were plenty of nibbles and champagne for all.
