BASSCARE Residential Aged Care - Samarinda Lodge

Samarinda Lodge is a residential aged care facility in Ashburton, in Melbourne's leafy Boroondara, operated by BASSCARE — a not-for-profit organisation established in 1957. The home offers private rooms designed to balance accessibility with comfort, alongside expansive communal areas that encourage conversation and friendship. Care evolves as residents' needs change, with personalised support that aims to honour independence while creating a genuine sense of home. BASSCARE provides residential and respite care across its homes and supports families through the move-in process, including guidance on Aged Care Assessment Service (ACAS) referrals and aged care costs. Information and feedback services are available in both English and Chinese.
