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
Training Day
The Lynde House management team enjoyed the first of several leadership workshops recently. It was great to spend time together and get to know each other a little bit more.
A Warm Welcome
Lynde House welcomed three trainee nurse associates from Chelsea and Westminster Hospital NHS Foundation Trust recently. This is a great honour for us to be one of several clinical placements for these nurses during their 2 year training.
Recreational Afternoon
We had another successful recreational afternoon at Lynde House that was spent baking some cakes.
Chinese New Year
Lynde House residents celebrated the Year of the Pig with a Chinese-themed lunch – chopsticks were optional!
Christmas Lunch
Residents and staff enjoyed a lovely Christmas afternoon at the Marriott Hotel Twickenham Station. Thank you for your hospitality!
Christmas Visit from Good Gym Richmond
Lynde House welcomed the Good Gym Richmond again at the home to help us start the Christmas decorating. The kind team built up the 7 Christmas trees we have in the home. As always, we had a lovely evening. Many thanks to the Good Gym for their continued support to our home.
