Activities at Tennyson Wharf Care Home

We love to take trips out in our mini bus, we recently went out on a beautiful Sunday morning. Our morning was full of hymns, prayers, warmth and joy when we visited All Saints Church, in Nettleham. The congregation made us all so welcome.

The residents enjoyed singing, taking part in communion, talking to all the lovely people and spending time with Revd Michelle Webb lighting candles and saying prayers. The residents enjoyed meeting the congregation afterwards and staying for a hot drink and a lovely piece of freshly baked cake by Revd Michelle.

In recognition of Macmillan’s Coffee Morning, we hosted our very own coffee morning for friends, families and community members to raise funds for the charity.

Our home was specially decorated for the occasion, our talented chef prepared a variety of cakes, cupcakes and delicious treats following Macmillan Cancer Support’s recipes and we all got involved in fun-filled games and activities.

We all had a wonderful morning raising funds for this lovely cause. We raised a grand total of £608.65 and would like to thank everyone who donated and came along to support us. We would like to thank everyone so much for their generous donations including: Doddington Hall and Gardens Pennells Lincoln Immie’s Beauty Bar Quayside Gifts Daisy Made Farm Scampton Chiropody services, our lovely hairdresser Rosie, our staff, residents, relatives, our chefs in our kitchen and the wonderful ladies from Sturton Knitting and natter group, you are all amazing.

To celebrate World Animal Day this week we welcomed Michelle and all her gorgeous animals into our home.

Residents, their loved ones and staff had the most wonderful afternoon meeting all the different beautiful animals. Especially Boots the Persian/rag doll cat and Bow the little tortoise.

It is always lovely to see the residents faces light up when we have animals visit our home, we all love to fuss the animals it really helps with our wellbeing, increasing our mood and reducing any stress we might have.

Staff and residents at Barchester’s Tennyson Wharf care home in Burton Waters were having a whale of a time when they celebrated World Animal Day on October 3rd.

World Animal Day is an annual global event to celebrate all animals across the world.  It aims to raise awareness of the importance of animal welfare and endeavours to raise standards for all animals around the globe.

Staff and residents at Tennyson Wharf Care Home in Burton Waters held a charity coffee morning and bake sale today on Friday 29th September to raise money for Macmillan Cancer Support.

Having a coffee morning is the perfect chance to catch up over a cuppa and a slice of something delicious for a great cause. The money raised helps everyone with cancer to live life as fully as they can.

Sunday Mornings give our residents the opportunity to come together in song and prayer. The sound of beautiful voices can be heard filling our cafe and corridors while our residents are singing their favourite hymns. We also have a regular Church Service, the first Thursday of every month, where Nettleham All Saints visit and we have a wonderful afternoon of songs, prayers and communion.
