Activities at Tennyson Wharf Care Home

We had a wonderful afternoon in the sun, being creative and making fascinators in preparations for Ladies Day. Residents enjoyed making their individual fascinators and wore then with pride. The residents were thrilled with their creations and then enjoyed watching the races at the Royal Ascot.

We all love going on mini bus trips, recently we visited the Boat House café for the first time. We enjoyed delicious coffee and the best lattes at the charming café by some beautiful lakes. When the sun came out, we ventured outside to watch the water skiers zoom past. Residents had an amazing time and are looking forward to going back.

We are lucky to have the Caterpillar Toddler Group here in term time on Thursday mornings.  Our residents always look forward to seeing them and love to join in with the singing, interactive play, with hand puppets and musical instruments. Residents enjoyed the bubble machine last week, the children and residents were keen to pop as many as they could.

Residents at Tennyson Wharf always welcome the Therapy dogs with warmth and happiness.

Our Residents very much enjoy the monthly visits, to see our Residents and how they engage with the dogs is just amazing. These visits bring back so many happy memories, happiness and well-being to our Residents. It’s truly heart-warming to see the smiles on everyone’s faces.

In celebration of National Gardening Week we took some of our eager residents off in the mini bus to a few local garden centres.

On our trip to Whisby Garden Centre we were treated to a beautiful display by a magnificent peacock. This was followed by a lovely cup of tea.

Our second trip was to Pennell’s Garden Centre where we saw some beautiful floral displays.

We bought a lovely selection of plants to take back to our Care Home and are looking forward to planting them all out into the garden.

The Knitting and Natter Ladies from Sturton by Stow and residents from Tennyson Wharf  continue their creative partnership. 
Following the success of their last two post box topper projects, the talented Knitting and Natter ladies from Sturton by Stow and the residents of Tennyson Wharf Care Home, proudly announce their installation of their third knitted topper.

Meeting every other Wednesday at Tennyson Wharf Care Home, the knitting enthusiast from Sturton by Stow and the care home residents pour their creativity into knitting these unique toppers. The decision to create a summer edition stems from the appreciation received for their previous projects.

"We are delighted to witness the positive impact our toppers have on the community, we love getting together with our knitting needles and chat the hours away. The residents particularly appreciate the ladies who generously contribute their time to join us." said Donna Jones, the activities coordinator at Tennyson Wharf.
