Activities at Lynde House Care Home
Our Activities Coordinators get a real buzz off their work here as enthusiasm is essential for the role. We decorate and celebrate for all the big annual events, Valentine's Day, Easter, Mothering Sunday and much more. There are also regular fixtures in our activities programme, including bingo, a sherry morning and quizzes, that are always well-attended. There's also an International Day that we hold to celebrate the wonderful ethnic diversity of our staff, where members of our team and their families give up their time to showcase their national costumes, dances and songs. Of course, we also have activities and services tailored to those residents who prefer the quiet life, such manicures or simply a friendly chat and a cup of tea. We always do our best to learn about residents' hobbies and interests and try to arrange our activities programme around their individual likes and dislikes.

Life at Lynde House Care Home
A weekend of Rugby!
We have had a weekend full of exciting rugby, and we didn't miss a minute of it! A range of beverages and pub foods went down a treat as the residents, relatives and staff enjoyed watching England defeat Wales in an exciting match!
Intergenerational Flower Arranging
Brighter Together which is an organisation that connects two vulnerable groups (older adults and early years children) for the benefit of wellbeing and development. We have the children visiting Lynde House regularly and it's a joy for the whole home when they do!
This week the residents and children made some lovely flower arrangements in preparation for the start of spring!
Happy Valentine’s Day from Lynde House!
Today our home was filled with flowers, cards, balloons and decorations as we celebrated the day of love in style with sweet treats and gifts. Our residents had some sweet treats and prosecco while enjoying some live entertainment listening to all-time favourite love songs.
It was a lovely day and it was wonderful to see everyone go to so much effort to get involved with the day’s festivities.
