About Lyndale

Lyndale is a residential care home in Bournemouth supporting adults living with mental health conditions, with respite stays available as well as permanent places. We are a house rather than a unit, and that distinction matters to us. Stability usually grows out of ordinary daily life rather than out of being closely managed, so people here have their own room, their own routine and a real voice in how the house is run. Our job is to be reliable and to know people well. That means staff who notice when something is shifting before it becomes a crisis, support with medication and appointments that is dependable without being overbearing, and practical help with cooking, budgeting and giving a week some structure so that independence is something a person can actually use. Some of the people we support are working towards a place of their own and we plan for that in detail rather than leaving it as a distant idea. Others need somewhere settled for longer, which is an equally good outcome. We work closely with community mental health teams and social workers. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good.
