‘Tis the season to be jolly at Burton Waters care home
Barchester’s Tennyson Wharf care home, in Burton Waters, got in the Christmas spirit by hosting an Alice in Wonderland pantomime from North East Producers for residents.
Tennyson Wharf’s Christmas activities program has been in full swing with a choir from Nettleham All Saint’s Church, Abba Mia tribute act, Darwen the mini pony who dressed as a reindeer, festive flower arranging, outings to see the lights of Lincoln city centre and Harmony Lincs Barbershop Choir to name but a few.
Residents will also enjoy a feast of festive foods prepared by the home’s chefs, Dawn Bailey and Emma Roberts.
General Manager, Sarah Noutch said: “Christmas really is the most wonderful time of the year and our fantastic residents love to get festive so we’ve pulled out all the stops. It is so lovely to see them all getting into the Christmas spirit, it’s definitely my favourite time of year.”
Hilary resident at Tennyson Wharf said: “It has been a few weeks. It was wonderful to see everyone go to so much effort to get into the Christmas spirit. I really enjoyed the pantomime, the two girls acted all of the characters, I don’t know how they did it. It was fantastic!”
Our varied life enrichment programme keeps residents active, and provides a daily choice of engaging physical, mental and spiritual activities tailored to residents’ interests and abilities.
