My mother has been here for 6 1/2 years and I feel it has prolonged her life. She is now 104 1/2 years old. The staff are all very caring. The management is very good and deal with any issues or problems swiftly and efficiently. The order and cleanliness of the home is 100%. The food is varied and interesting. They organise things inside the home and outdoors to in the summer, to suit all tastes.

Review of Barchester Lynde House Care Home, Twickenham, London by Jane Thompson (Daughter of Resident)

Sunday 22 January 2012

I would recommend this care home for the peace of mind it gives me over the care given to my Mother. I feel her interests are put first and her physical and mental wellbeing are considered at all times. The staff are friendly, courteous and considerate and show affection and kindness towards the residents, which is something I value highly. The home also has other attributes such as cleanliness, good decor, nice food, a good restaurant and a lovely garden. There are also a wonderful range of activities on offer for residents to enjoy, often with families as well. Parties and social activities are also organised regularly.
