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
Celebrating Staff
At our summer party and staff awards ceremony on Saturday 29th July, we thanked Mike, a volunteer from Embracing Age, for his ongoing support. Mike was nominated as our 'Volunteer of the Year' at the 2017 Barchester Care Awards.
Lunch with the Bowls Club
Lynde House welcomed members of the Cambridge Park Bowls Club to lunch on Thursday 3rd August 2017. We hope that this is the start of a great relationship which will offer residents the opportunity to participate in various indoor and outdoor events that are held.
Back to Kew Gardens
Our intrepid Lynde House explorers are off again, this time to Kew Gardens for a second visit - too much to do and too little time to do it!
Welcome back, Jennifer!
We welcomed a new member of nursing staff to Lynde House recently. Jennifer, who is from China, worked at Lynde House almost 7 years ago. She then returned to China, but decided earlier this year to come back to Lynde House. I am sure we will all welcome Jennifer back to the home in our usual warm way!
Go Gym
Lynde House welcomed a team of volunteer runners from Go Gym in Richmond on Monday 25th July. Thanks to Mark and his team for their hard work and we look forward to their next visit in September for the bird stands!
Kew Gardens
Residents of Lynde House enjoyed a trip to Kew gardens recently and at long last were able to go into the Hive. Everyone had a great time at a great local attraction - just a mile from Lynde House.
