Living@Home

Lyndoch’s Living @Home Program is flexible and responsive, designed to deliver services to you, regardless of your situation. You may be too busy or wishing to continue to live independently and safely in your own home.

Our experienced staff can provide you with support in and around your home and garden, as well as social and personal support. Our workers help with daily tasks, whether they be cleaning the house, sorting the laundry, assistance to shower and dress, mowing the lawn or just taking the dog for a walk. We are there for you 24/7 whether on a short or long-term basis, we will work with you to meet your needs.

Our staff are qualified, experienced and have regular police checks and ongoing training to ensure the highest standards, and are easily identifiable in their Lyndoch Living uniform.

An @Home Risk Assessment service will be provided prior to your service commencement to ensure safety for your and our @Home staff. Home Safety Assessment will then occur annually to ensure that your home environment and appliances are safe and meet safety standards.

We place an emphasis on socialisation and community interaction, welcoming your involvement in tasks and activities to empower and engage you in the lifestyle that you choose to live.
