I came here immediately after a hip replacement operation, for five and a half weeks have been nursed and cared for extremely well by a competent friendly, helpful group of carers, nurses and administration staff. The facilities are very good and the food is well above the standard I was expecting, varied, well cooked and presented and of good quality. The rather laissez-faire system with the careing being left largely to help whenever and however they can I found unnerving at first but it works well in practice here.
We view any feedback as critical to improving our service and so your comments and scoring are most helpful.
I have experienced residency and I loved it, especially when I needed it.

I moved in 2 months ago, and am here permanently. In general, I am very happy with the facilities and the service. I have really had no complaints but I have realised, especially after conversations with other residents, that consideration should be given to a general introduction when you move in - times of meals, where things are, who the staff are etc.
Thank you so much for the feedback and your helpful suggestion. We will definitely take this forward and incorporate into our new welcome pack which is just being finalised.
Lynde House has a very nice atmosphere and ambience. Staff are friendly, kind and helpful. Everywhere is clean. All the rooms seem to have nice views onto the gardens which are beautifully kept.

The communication between the home and family is great, it is so nice to have the weekly updates and whenever you call the home, the staff are always there to help. The food is fabulous, the rooms are lovely and the grounds to the house are lovely too. The visiting suite is a lovely place to visit relatives.
Lovely to see the regular Facebook photos of staff awards, food menus, residents doing activities.
On behalf of the team, thank you so much for taking the time to complete this review. It means a great deal to us.
Mum has been very well looked after since she came to Lynde House 18 months ago. She settled in very quickly with the kindness of the staff and is always treated with courtesy and dignity.

As the Registered Manager, I am responsible for the overall running of Lynde House and assisted in this by a great team of staff.
Although from Scotland, I have lived in Richmond for over 30 years. My career has been in two stages; hospital management where I spent almost 26 years working in acute hospitals including Kingston and the West Middlesex Hospitals and Care Home Management at Lynde House where I have been since 2011.
I have had a long interest and involvement in organising and providing services to older people and I have been fortunate enough to put my experience to good use at Lynde House where we continue to strive for improvement in everything we offer and provide for our residents. We consistently achieve great feedback from residents and relatives on the care and services offered, a significant aspect to this being our low staff turnover and the lovely environment both inside the home itself and the grounds in which it is situated.
