We are incredibly grateful for the wonderful care shown to our dearest and most loved family member at Bolton Clarke Lynbrook Park Residential Aged Care. From management to the nurses and the wider staff, every person we dealt with was caring, professional and genuinely compassionate. They are all wonderful people who made a the time so joyous for our family. The kindness, patience and respect shown every day gave us real comfort and confidence that our loved one was being cared for with dignity and warmth. The support extended not only to the resident, but also to our family, and that meant so much to us. It is clear that the team at Lynbrook Park takes great pride in what they do, and the standard of care, communication and genuine human kindness was outstanding. We cannot thank the management, nurses and staff enough for everything they did for our family. We would highly recommend Bolton Clarke Lynbrook Park to anyone looking for genuinely compassionate and professional aged care.

This is a role model of how this place should run for aging people. With respect and sensitivity of aged people needs. Quoting to my son asking of how I feel being here “I would be happy to live here until I die”.

I recently had my wife move into lynbrook Park for respite with the view of becoming permanent but i have discharged her and my mother always told me if you don't have anything nice to say then don't say anything at all so I will leave it there.

Bolton Clarke Management is absolutely despicable. No empathy or genuine care for their residents. Failed duty of care and very unprofessional. A place that should be a safe haven for residents of various conditions instead they make a mockery of residents and their families . Alot of miscommunication, lying and defenitly not showing care and this stems from management which should be role models . Would never recommend anyone to let a loved one reside here .
