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
Our Furry Friends
Its that time of year again... our furry friends paid us a visit at Lynde House. They're always a welcomed distraction!
Walk to the Marble Hill Park
Residents and staff took a stroll along the towpath from Lynde House. It was a very enjoyable way to spend the afternoon, and we finished off with a cuppa in Marble Hill Park.
Enjoying the Sunshine
There's never a dull moment at Lynde House; as the sun shines and the mercury rises, residents and guests enjoy their first picnic of 2017.
Mother's Day
Everyone had lots of fun celebrating Mother's Day here at Lynde House.
A Flying Visit
We had a visit from some feathered friends at Lynde House - and what an owling time we had!
Embracing Age's 2nd Anniversary
On Saturday evening, Lynde House hosted an event to celebrate the second anniversary of Embracing Age, a locally supported charity which helps recruit and place volunteers in care homes. Lynde House staff, with the assistance of some of their volunteers, prepared a wonderful sit down meal for 50 people. The evening ended with a short talk about volunteers in care homes by Alison McIntosh and Lynde House resident, Jean Heightington.
Jean's experiences are captured in a lovely booklet prepared for the evening, which you can read here.
