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
Isabella Plantation
On Wednesday 5th July, residents from Lynde House enjoyed an afternoon at the Isabella Plantation in Richmond Park. Although many of the world famous rhododendrons had already flowered, there was still a riot of colour and some fantastic bird spotting.
Kew Gardens
Another sunny day and another excursion for Lynde House residents; we returned to Kew Gardens and the splendor of the newly-refurbished Temperate House, the largest glass house in the world.
Open Day
What a joyous day at Lynde House on Saturday 9th June 2018, when we welcomed new visitors into our home, and some old friends as well.
The weather was kind to us and we enjoyed great entertainment, glorious food and a few refreshments by way of Pimm's and Prosecco.
Thank You Party
A resident recently departed Lynde House after a long recovery from ill health and hosted a thank you party before leaving as a way of saying thank you to staff – how sweet!
Musical Magic
We were joined by the Manontroppo Clarinet Quartet, who entertained us over the bank holiday weekend. It was a hugely enjoyable session, which was appreciated by all residents.
A New Arrival
We welcomed our new PAT dog to Lynde House recently. He will be visiting us most weekends.
