Michael Lythgoe
I have worked in the care sector for 36 years, initially working for the NHS at Brandesburton Hospital as a care assistant. When the hospital closed I transferred to Townend Court and continued as a care assistant on the forensic ward for people with a learning disability. It was whilst working with the Occupational therapists at Townend that I discovered my passion for engaging the patients in activities of their choosing, I’m quite artistic and creative so it was an easy transition
I have many years’ experience working with the older generation and those who live with dementia, Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s and other diagnosis’.
I am really looking forward to bring both my experience and passion to my new role and to see the positive impact on our resident population.

Bullseye
Residents of Stamford Bridge enjoyed a Sunday afternoon of darts accompanied by a glass of cold refreshing beer. The game became very competitive but with a bullseye for John he was officially crowned the winner! The residents who did not wish to play were very helpful with their math skills and working out the scores.
Residents delighted with robotic pet
Stamford Bridge have recently purchased a robotic, lifelike cat toy that is designed to create a virtual pet experience, allowing people with dementia who may not be able to have a pet of their own for various reasons to benefit from having a companion to talk to and spend time with. The residents have been getting so much pleasure from having the cat around and is a hit throughout the home with many residents sharing stories of pets they have owned.‘
