Care Home Owned by The Salvation Army in Hertfordshire

she can feast on all the goodies she never let herself eat before! It is a caring family. The most important thing is the Christian ethos of the Salvation Army. The staff literally are the 'hands and feet of Jesus' caring for the elderly. My mother's voice and hymn singing has improved with the regular 'prayer and praise' sessions! The companionship and joyful community spirit created by the staff and varied activities are literally 'life-giving!' The building and grounds are beautiful - as you arrive you'll hear the birds tweeting - and you'll know it's a place of peace. Thank you Lyndon for making my mummy's daily life happy as she lives with the varying stages of dementia.

a long time which is very important for a dementia sufferer as familiarity makes them feel safe.

is very comforting. There are various activities consistently offered in an attempt to keep residents involved and interested. The staff are equally welcoming to me as a visitor. On the understanding that nobody would ever wish to leave a family member somewhere away from home, the Lyndon family do all they can to integrate residents into the Lyndon family and treat them with respect.

kept very clean, and the staff try to cater for the individuality of each resident. The care provided is very good, although, with the pressures of time, some things cannot be carried out in a timescale that my father would prefer. Communication is very good, with next of kin being contacted with any updates that are relevant. Communication with my father could be better though, as he's often unaware of when his next shower might be, and 'I'll be back in 5 minutes' often turns out to be longer. Plenty of activities are arranged, although my father chooses not to join in many. I'd certainly recommend Lyndon to anyone needing a home-from-home.

etc. A broad repertoire of 'entertainment' is included in the quarterly program.

of staff shows love and kindness towards her and she definitely thrives on that. It is lovely for myself to visit and receive such a warm welcome, usually with one of my dogs! My mother, prior to being diagnosed with Dementia, was somewhat of a reserved nature, but now it is lovely to hear her singing! The home itself is in a beautiful old rectory building and the gardens have recently had a wonderful facelift with gazebo, sensory lighting and water feature. It is lovely to see photos of my mother looking happy when we are not with her and to be kept up to date with her welfare. Of the care homes I viewed prior to my mother moving in, I would not hesitate to recommend Lyndon Residential Home.

change in her condition. She has a very pleasant room en-suite and enjoys the attractive, spacious garden in the summer. Residents are treated as individuals, there is a warm and loving atmosphere in the Home and we have total peace of mind about the care she receives.

look after her well to have this bond with them.

knows of all the good they do. The home is friendly and relaxed and has a homely and welcoming atmosphere.

that her wellbeing and health has improved since she has been here.

The Christian ethos is also much appreciated.

and willing to do all they can to ensure that they are happy in their environment.

My mother's mental health has improved considerably in their care. Whilst there are probably newer care homes with more luxurious facilities (although Lyndon's tranquil environment and the gardens are particularly good), the quality of care and individual attention my mother receives more than makes up for this.

I would be happy to recommend Lyndon to others in a similar situation.

from the gardens, which are well-managed to provide maximum interest and enjoyment.
When I visit my mother I always receive a warm and friendly welcome from the staff and most of all when I have to leave I feel perfectly content that she is in the best possible care.

the atmosphere is so good.
Excellent home for my 94 year old mother!!!
