Lynden Aged Care

LYNDEN AGED CARE all volunteers with a wide range of skills: the Chairman is a registered nurse, two have a financial background, one is a lawyer, one is a retired general practitioner, one is a professor of gerontology, and two are in the construction industry. So it’s great to have their wealth of knowledge and experience and dedication. During the expansion they formed a building committee and met every week. They gave up their time and they’re always there if we need them for anything. We really have a partnership with all our stakeholders, and the residents and their relatives are very generous with donations. So we’re lucky in that respect.” Speaking to what makes Lynden such a wonderful place, Savell shares, “There’s a feel you get as soon as you walk in. It’s quite distinguishable from other places and very special. And there’s quite often a dog or two around – we’re very open to animals coming to visit. The residents love that. Panassie, chimes in with her view, “We have a beautiful building to look at, but there is such a lovely energy in this place and that comes from the people. The residents, the staff, the families, the external providers that visit. We have an amazing Lifestyle team that organises all the events and activities for the residents. They’re such a dynamic group and they’re very involved. It really is a collaboration of relationships and people, they are the heart and soul of Lynden.” PREFERRED VENDOR n Outcomex www.outcomex.com.au Since our foundation in 2006, Outcomex has been working hand in hand with Australian Aged Care providers to optimise the quality of care offered to their residents. We recognise the unique challenges within this industry; elevated compliance and governance, contracted budgets, increased competition and now, the coronavirus pandemic. While our elderly have had their health, safety and mental wellbeing put in jeopardy, Aged Care providers are increasingly reliant on new, innovative technologies to alleviate the impact of the forced isolation and deliver high value care to those within their facilities. In conjunction with Cisco technologies, Outcomex is helping the industry become technology-ready to keep residents safe and connected with health professionals and loved ones. As the preferred technology partner of Lynden Aged Care since 2017, we have enjoyed seeing their commitment to innovation underpinned by their desire to continuously improve the quality of care offered to their residents. Through our work together, we have built a robust network complemented by voice, security, and wireless architectures using Cisco technologies. Residents and staff at Lynden Aged Care benefit from the use of video conferencing tools, connected healthcare products, assistive technologies, and elevated compliance, keeping everyone safe and connected.
