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
Getting Creative
The drawing and colouring session worked well. Tilly seemed interested to start with, but then let our residents get on with the task in hand!
Getting Creative
At Lynde House, we consider residents' overall feeling of well-being to be so important that we make it a priority to spend time with residents on a one-to-one basis. Seb and John spent a lovely couple of hours indulging in John’s passion for drawing and art. Charcoal is his material of choice, but this isn't a bad effort at all!
A walk in the Park!
We enjoyed a walk in Marble House Park this weekend - although we needed coats it was great to be out in the fresh air
Ladies Day at Ascot
It was a great excuse to dress up and put on a pretty hat, sip a glass of bubbly and eat fresh strawberries yesterday!
Enjoying Marble Hill Park
With hats and sunglasses on we headed out to Marble Hill Park for ice cream, cakes and a relaxing rest on the grass, you can just see the game of cricket we passed in the background - we are so fortunate to have such a lovely place on our doorstep and for residents its a great to exercise with a walk in the park!
Celebrating National Carers Week with our team
We celebrated our amazing carers with a delicious breakfast yesterday, served for every member of the team. Recognising their commitment and hard work with us each day not just during National Carers Week they are a huge part of what makes Lynde House the best place to live!
With certificates, chocolates and cards from Barchester Healthcare there were plenty of smiles behind the masks
