When faced with our own or a loved one’s approaching death, dementia diagnosis or experience living in a residential aged care facility, we often struggle to talk about what is happening and how we feel about it. Our feelings of uncertainty, and the anticipating loss can add to our grief to make us feel overwhelmed and helpless. It doesn’t have to be like that. While they can often be bewildering and difficult times, they can also be times of strength, dignity and peace. I can support you and/or your family/significant others during these transitions












At Tranquil Options, I can provide a range of packages during these transitional periods either in the home or residential care facility. Services can be for an elder person, their family/significant others, or both, with a unique focus on those experiencing dementia. The aim is always to help create a meaningful and peaceful transition into, or time living in, residential care; and end-of-life experience, wherever possible. Services are uniquely tailored to suit and can include….




It is a privilege to support our elders and their family/significant others during these momentous transitions. My name is Lyn Heynen and personal and professional experiences have influenced me to become passionate about quality aged and dementia care, and good end of life experiences.








Welcome To
Tranquil Options
Death is going to affect every single one of us and we’re often not good at thinking or talking about it or planning for it in advance. Another transition that can often be delayed, poorly planned for, or occurs hurriedly after illness or injury, is entry into residential aged care. While transition into and residing in care can sometimes present difficulties and challenges, the loss of independence, familiar surrounds, and changes to routines can be daunting. This can especially be the case when the resident experiences dementia.

Elder Care In Living And Death
My vision at Tranquil Options is to make a difference and support as many people as I can to: continue to live independently at home (if that is their wish); and have a peaceful entry into and experience living in residential care, and end of life transition. I have a unique focus on those experiencing dementia.
I achieve this by offering a professional, person centred, non-medical, elder care service to bridge the gap, and ensure our elders and family/significant others are informed and empowered, regarding all care and choices, before and after death.
There is no right way to approach life’s transitions. The role of Tranquil Options is not to tell anyone what to do, but to support, guide and assist. I provide information and options, so choices that are right for the individuals and those they care about are made. I can support you to know that you are not helpless, and everyone has the means within them and the support around them to navigate these transitions with strength, dignity and peace.
