22 BUSINESS VIEW OCEANIA SEPTEMBER 2020 NDEN CARE Living Local W elcome to Lynden Aged Care, where residents enjoy the best life has to offer, with all the comforts of home. The property is located off a quiet suburban street in Camberwell, surrounded by parks and walking tracks and every room boasts a scenic outlook. Lynden’s many comfortable indoor and outdoor areas are ideal for entertaining or simply relaxing. The facility has undergone substantial refurbishment and redevelopment to provide residents with naturally lit, open environments including an in-house café surrounded by a generous communal meeting place overlooking lush gardens and water features. The original facility opened in 1981 as a small 30 bed hostel called Gaffney House, following a major community fundraising effort driven by Gerry Gaffney who was Mayor of the City of Camberwell at that time. The hostel was run by the city council and designed for local senior citizens, so they didn’t have to leave the Camberwell area. It has since evolved into Lynden Aged Care – a standalone, not for profit, community-owned organisation providing residential aged care services to 102 residents including 20 residents living in extra service places, as well as accommodations in six independent living units at 51 Lynden Street. Residents at Fifty One live independently in boutique two-bedroom units with the peace of mind of being adjacent to Lynden Aged Care and AT A GLANCE LYNDEN AGED CARE WHAT: Community owned not for profit residential aged care facility WHERE: Camberwell, Victoria; 9 km east of Melbourne CBD WEBSITE: www.lyndenagedcare.org.au
