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.

Lynde House's Garden Party
On Saturday 23rd July, the sun shone bright, and the BBQ sizzled, as did the music, because everyone at Lynde House enjoyed a great afternoon of rock & roll with live entertainment. Elvis dropped by and shared a few laughs with the General Manager and Victoria, the Financial Administrator, whilst James Dean and Junior parked the Harley for all to see. Everyone had a ball!
