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
National Tea Day
Anyone for tea? Nothing better than a cuppa enjoyed in the garden!
Fun in the Sun
So we moved into the garden for our weekly cuppa with George; new surroundings stimulating new discussions!
Easter Celebrations
Residents at Lynde House enjoyed sunshine, lunch and chocolate over the Easter weekend.
Lunch in the Sun
With all of this lovely weather, it's been great to sit outside in our beautiful gardens to enjoy a bit of lunch and a glass of wine.
Arts & Crafts
We recently started up a painting group for residents at Lynde House.The residents who joined the group enjoyed either learning this new skill or, for some, it was restarting an old activity/hobby that they loved. We look forward to the next event!
4 Wonders
We had a lovely afternoon at the beginning of the month; there was entertainment by 4 Wonders and refreshments courtesy of the Lynde House hospitality team.
