Naracoorte Home for the Aged Inc. (usually referred to as 'Longridge') was established in 1969 by the Naracoorte community to provide accommodation and services for any retired aged or disabled person, irrespective of financial circumstance, race, colour or creed. Longridge is a private 'not-for-profit' community organisation owned by the Naracoorte and Districts community. Formed more than 40 years ago, today it is a large and dynamic organisation accommodating 50 residents within the hostel and 53 Independent Living Units. At least 100 aged or disabled people call Longridge home. Longridge is governed by a volunteer Board, with the day to day running managed by Executive Officer/ Director of Care and a large team of almost 70 staff. The Longridge philosophy is aligned in the ideals of the Resident's Charter of Rights & Responsibilities: respecting the individual rights to choice & decision making, the balance of 'Duty of Care' and recognising their collective value & wisdom.
