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
Valentines Day
After indulging in a hearty roast and a bit of bubbly, residents and staff enjoyed an afternoon tea where home made valentine cup cakes were served, we also danced to live music which we all enjoyed!
Arts and Crafts
At Lynde House we explore a wide range of art and craft techniques to suit all residents; painting, however, is the firm favourite and over the past weeks some of the residents produced their own masterpiece! The activities were buzzing with fun and plenty of laughter.
Birthday Celebration
One of the wonderful residents, Thomas, celebrated his Birthday on 29.01.2016 and the staff at the Home surprised him with a small party-which really touched him. Thomas and the staff had a little dance and sang along to celebrate. Photos were taken and it will be made into a small album for this day to be remembered!
