The Lyndoch Way

The Lyndoch Way is about empowering our people – residents, clients and staff – to create an environment where they feel valued, respected and secure.

Guided by the Eden Philosophy, the Lyndoch Way focuses on de-institutionalising aged care in Warrnambool and South-West Victoria by creating an engaging way of life, with an aim to ultimately relieving loneliness, boredom and helplessness by creating a homelike environment for residents and clients.
