Indoors there are several lounges 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.

Lyndon offers spiritual as well as practical care. Short services are held each morning, led by different church members. The staff team includes Salvation Army chaplains who are available to support residents, family members and friends irrespective of religious beliefs.
