Lyndon House

Lyndon is for anyone looking for a home either for respite or for permanent placement.  We cater for residents living with or without dementia.

We are registered to provide care for 32 residents. All rooms have en-suites. Lyndon Home is set in its own extensive grounds which have mature planting, flower beds and a lawn. Pathways have been furnished with plenty of seating and lead to the rose arbour, orchard and fountain. Indoors there are several lounges, including a cinema room and a music room,  offering a selection of venues for communal or private use. Served in a bright dining room, residents receive balanced meals with any special diets catered for from a choice of menu.

A full program of activities is arranged within the home and residents are encouraged to continue their interests both within and outside the home. Excursions and special events are arranged, often with the help of volunteer Friends of Lyndon. We have full time activities leader who prepares a weekly activities schedules taking residents interest in to consideration.

Lyndon has an informal and friendly atmosphere providing a homely environment supported by many long standing members of staff.

The Management within the home consists of the Home manager (the Registered Manager), Head of Care and Administration Manager. They are available daily from 8am through to 5pm weekdays and on some evenings and weekends.  Management are available on call in case they need to attend the home in the event of an emergency.

Throughout the day a Team Leader leads the shift and takes responsibility for the staff and residents. They are supported by a team of care staff. The number of staff may differ; this is determined by needs of residents.  We use an evidenced based tool to determine staffing levels.  Care staff work 7am -2pm and 2pm -9pm. Management staff are supernumerary.

Night staff are on duty from 9pm- 7am, they are also supported by an on call team leader if they need any further support.

We have an Activities Leader and a Salvation Army Chaplain who work closely with the care team to provide a service to the residents and to give them the opportunity to be active and engage in activities on a daily basis.

All staff are qualified and undertake mandatory and additional training throughout the year in order to provide a high standard of care taking into account current legislation, guidelines and practice.

The Directors of the Older People’s Services provide 24 hour on call support to the home.
