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.

Word Search
A busy day at Lynde: a bit of word search, arts and crafts and a quiz led by one of our residents .
Marble Hill House
Taking full advantage of the autumnal weather and our local park, we visited Marble Hill House at the beginning of the month. Assisted by one of the fabulous volunteers we were shown round the house, recently opened after extensive renovations. Well worth a visit.
Sunshine!
Did you know that Lynde House is located in a lovely “nook” (a corner or recess, especially one offering seclusion or security), between Mable Hill Park and the Thames?
Pet Zoo
Spiders, lizards and all things reptilian… On Thursday we welcomed Pet Zoo back to Lynde after a long absence. Fascinating information shared about these creatures and the chance to hold and stroke them.
Happy Birthday!
Happy 85th birthday to our lovely resident Jean.
