Adding Life to years and years to life.

For the Not-So-Retiring First, there is the ideal location in a major regional town, yet close to the services that only a city like Canberra can offer. Then there is the peaceful setting, combined with beautiful rural views. Open your front door and step out into a community that exemplifies everything you expect from independent living. A community where neighbours become friends. Where stories are shared over coffee. Where you can participate in various groups. This setting, combined with the village design and layout, makes RSL LifeCare’s Linton Village a great place for the not-so-retiring.
Choose from spacious two and three-bedroom residences (49 in total) that offer a perfect complement for carefree, independent living. Participate in your choice of inviting programs and events.
The Village offers a lifestyle based on security and peace of mind. If the time comes for additional care, we can provide LifeCare @ Home services. We aim to assist all residents to maintain as much independence as possible. We also have on-site our 82-bed residential care service – Linton Home.
Linton Village provides 24/7 staff and emergency call service, friendly community room for functions and family occasions, billiards room, workshop, hair salon, library and our comprehensive recreation and activities calendar including morning teas, walking club, exercise classes and much more. All residents have access to our bus service with frequent trips to shops and local points of interest.

John and Leonie are very happy with their move to Linton. “Three years ago we visited Yass on business and decided to take in the sights and when we turned the corner – there was Linton Village in front of us. We stopped and viewed the retirement living homes and couldn’t help noticing the landscaped gardens. A while later, when John developed a slight health problem we immediately thought of Linton Village. We returned to visit the Village and were shown a home. A very short time later we received a phone call letting us know that there was a vacancy available. We moved in and we are well and truly settled in at Linton. John and I find it a very safe and secure place to live. John’s health has improved and we know that medical
assistance is available if needed. We have been living here for years now and we know we made a great decision – Linton is a wonderful, friendly and secure place to live”.
From our Residents...
Now it’s our turn to look after you
Comments from our Residents “This is one of the best kept secrets in the RSL… I love it here.”
“It’s a very nice atmosphere. Lovely people live here. You don’t have to be involved in anything if you don’t want to – you can just enjoy yourself quietly.”
“I like the open spaces… no maintenance too!”
“We were happy where we were living but it had become very busy, very noisy, and we’re pleased to now be somewhere where it is quiet and not too far from anywhere.”
“If someone has a problem, for example if they are sick, we make sure there is someone looking after their place, looking after the mail, all the things they worry about.”
“Best move my wife and I ever made. Matter of fact, we should have moved here ten years ago.“
Linton Home is a living community for 82 seniors who are provided with residential care or nursing home services. There is around-the-clock influence of registered nurses and care assistants. Linton Home is designed for people who need medical/rehabilitative care, restorative care, dementia care as well as those with mental health issues. The living spaces include wide halls, lounges, reminiscence centres and nurse care areas. Residents live in single or partnership rooms, and shared community rooms for planned daily activities, socials and dining. Meals are prepared based on individual dietary needs.
The type and amount of care a person receives is dependent on what is needed to maintain his or her lifestyle and includes assistance with basic activities of daily living (eating, bathing and grooming, toilet help, dressing, transport, etc) in which a resident may require help or supervision. Skilled Care is provided for those who need medical or nursing care or rehabilitative services for the rehabilitation of injured, disabled or sick persons. Specialist dementia care accommodation gives residents the best quality life in a safe and supportive environment. A personalised activities calendar is also available to all residents.

Our History RSL LifeCare is a charitable organisation that was formed in 1911 to provide care and service to war veterans. Services were initially provided at Bare Island, Botany Bay, until moving to Narrabeen in 1939. From small beginnings providing care and service to just a handful of war veterans, the organisation has grown to be one of the largest senior living services in Australia.
Caring for 7,500 people across Retirement Living, Home Care, Assisted Living, Dementia and Nursing Homes, we have developed an extensive range of services that fosters independence and provides social, clinical, emotional and spiritual support.
Despite our growth and the passage of time, RSL LifeCare remains true to its original aim and mission – to provide a home of peace and security to senior Australians.
