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.

Life at Tennyson Wharf Care Home
Trip to Lincoln City Football Club
Our Gentleman's Club at Tennyson Wharf recently enjoyed a trip out to Lincoln City Football Club and had a full tour! We have a Gentleman's Club at the home every Wednesday morning - if you or anybody you know is interested in joining us then please do get in touch.
Warmest Welcome!
We are delighted at Tennyson Wharf to have won the Barchester competition for 'Warmest Welcome'!! Here are some photos of our lovely entrance and we of course have some fantastic staff to welcome visitors to the home.
Pub Trip
Some of our residents enjoyed a trip to a local pub for Fathers Day. We are also delighted to say that we are developing our own pub in house at Tennyson Wharf for all of our residents to enjoy! Watch this space!!
Vintage Cars
We love to take our residents on trips out - more recently we saw a local vintage car show. Residents were able to have a go as passenger in some of these lovely cars.
Tree of Life
Our residents at Tennyson Wharf have been busy creating a 'Tree of Life' to add to the decorations in our memory lane community. Residents had lots of fun with paints, including making handprints!
Football Trophy!
At Tennyson Wharf, we were lucky enough to be able to have the Sky Bet League 2 Trophy visit our residents and staff. It was amazing to see the reactions of the residents and helping them feel part of the Lincoln City community even if they can’t attend matches anymore. Many of them weren’t football fans as such but were blown away with the occasion and being able to hold something so precious.
