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
Little Visitor
A little visitor at Lynde House took the time to ensure that everything was just right for her grandma.
Culture Day
Residents had a lot of fun celebrating culture day here at Lynde House.
Friday Fish & Chips
Lynde House welcomed one of our first guests - Barbara from our local Clinical Commissioning Group - to our Professionals Friday Fish & Chips event. This takes place on the last Friday of each month and is open to all local professionals with any involvement with older people.
From Good to Great
Lynde House residents and staff celebrated our different cultures recently with entertainment being provided by staff members. We danced, sang, ate and merrily enjoyed the occasion, as well as the fact that we achieved a 'Good' across the board following our most recent CQC inspection.
Hotel Marriott
Some residents and their families spent a lovely afternoon as guests in the Marriott Hotel at Twickenham Stadium on 24th May. As well as having a tour of the facilities and the rugby stadium, they had the opportunity to try (oops!) some delicious cake!
Farewell, Lorna!
Lynde House staff said a temporary farewell to Lorna and Alina. Both are off to experience new challenges, including motherhood, but will be back with us at Lynde House in a few months!
