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.
Rebecca Harrowing
Hi my name is Rebecca, I started working at Tennyson Wharf in July 2024.
Previous to starting at Tennyson Wharf I have lived in many countries and worked as a supply teacher and administrator in Bahrain in the Middle East - I have also worked in scouting programme groups in both the USA and UK.
Whilst I have worked with children for a lot of my life, working with the elderly is always been something I have been passionate about. I believe that everybody has a story to tell and our residents life stories all add value to Tennyson Wharf.
Outside of work I enjoy walking, gardening and going to the cinema.

Zoolab
Tennyson Wharf recently had visitors of a different kind! Zoolab visited our home with various different creatures and critters, including a Cockroach, a bearded lady (Lizard), a Tarantula to name just a few. The residents were given the opportunity to hold these animals if they felt brave enough.
World Food Day
Tennyson Wharf recently celebrated World Food Day with a selection of different foods from around the globe.
The residents tried, Chinese spring rolls, Polish sausage, Japanese seaweed and Swiss chocolate just to name a few dishes. Yummy!
Ghost Talks
Our residents were visited by Karen, our local ghost walk expert. She spoke about the various ghostly sightings around the Lincoln Cathedral and Castle, as well as other areas of the county. Residents then discussed anything unusual that we had all experienced.
1960s Themed Open Day
Tennyson Wharf held a 1960s themed open day. The residents participated in Tie Dye Art in the morning and Karaoke in the afternoon. Some of the residents even got up to have a sing song with staff and family members. Everyone enjoyed the day.
