At AvantiCare this month, we’re kicking off our latest pulse survey to keep listening, improving, and supporting what matters most: our people.

When our team feels seen, valued, and heard, that shows up in the care we provide every day. Because engagement isn’t just about job satisfaction, it’s about creating a workplace where people thrive and feel proud to be part of something bigger.

Let’s keep the conversations going!

Today is World Mental Health Day!

Mental health doesn’t get easier with age, it becomes more layered. For seniors, it can be interwoven with physical changes, chronic illness, loss, social isolation, sleep disruption, and cognitive shifts.

At AvantiCare, we believe in acknowledging those complexities, while also shining a light on the power of holistic, lifestyle-informed approaches to support mental wellbeing.

🌿 Lifestyle elements that matter:
• Nutrition & gut health — inflammation, microbiome shifts, and nutrient deficiencies can impact mood and brain health
• Sleep quality — restless nights, fragmented sleep, and sleep disorders are more common in older adults
• Movement and exercise — even gentle, regular activity can lift mood, improve cognition, and reduce anxiety
• Social connection & purpose — staying engaged in meaningful tasks can counter loneliness and build resilience

As an allied health provider working with seniors, we aim to integrate these lifestyle-driven elements alongside therapy; whether in physiotherapy, occupational therapy, speech pathology, dietetics, podiatry or exercise physiology.

If you or a loved one are feeling overwhelmed, disconnected or experiencing changes in mood, we encourage you to reach out. You’re not alone, and help is available.

🔔 Important Update for Home Care & Restorative Care Recipients

From 1 November 2025, the Australian Government will roll out the Support at Home Program, replacing Home Care Packages (HCPs) and Short-Term Restorative Care (STRC).

What this means for allied health:
• Our six disciplines — Physiotherapy, Occupational Therapy, Speech Pathology, Dietetics, Podiatry, and Exercise Physiology — will remain a core clinical care component, now embedded even more firmly in the new model.
• STRC will be replaced by a new Restorative Care Pathway, offering longer and more flexible episodes of rehabilitative support. This strengthens AvantiCare’s mission of delivering therapy that restores independence and supports positive ageing.
• Current HCP and STRC clients will transition automatically, with continuity of therapy services preserved.

How AvantiCare is supporting you:
✅ Preparing across all six allied health disciplines for the transition
✅ Helping you navigate assessments, eligibility, and entitlements
✅ Ensuring continuity of reablement, restorative care and wellness programs

At AvantiCare, reforms bring change — but our commitment stays the same: helping you age with purpose, dignity, and confidence. 💙

02/10/2025

AvantiCare began with a simple vision: to provide mobile allied health services that help people to stay engaged in the activities that bring meaning and purpose to their lives.

Today, our multidisciplinary team including Physiotherapists, Occupational Therapists, Speech Pathologists, Dietitians, Podiatrists, and Exercise Physiologists, delivers restorative care, rehabilitation, and reablement based programs across South Australia.

But we don’t stop there. Our unique Purpose Approach is about more than treatment - it’s about supporting positive ageing and empowering people with disability to live life to its fullest.

🌿 Looking ahead, AvantiCare is building on this foundation by integrating lifestyle medicine approaches into everyday care. From gut health testing to nutrition and sleep interventions, our therapists are trained to bring a holistic lens to every session.

💙 Our mission hasn’t changed: to help you live and age with dignity, independence, and joy.

📌 Follow us as we share more about our people, our clients, and our journey towards redefining allied health in South Australia.

💪 Chronic pain doesn’t have to mean slowing down. In older adults, conditions like osteoporosis, arthritis, and musculoskeletal problems are common causes of ongoing pain.

The good news? Movement is one of the best medicines. Research shows that regular, guided exercise can:
✅ Reduce pain and stiffness
✅ Improve strength and balance
✅ Increase mobility and independence

At AvantiCare, our Physiotherapists use tailored exercise programs to help older adults stay strong, mobile, and confident in daily life.

Call us today to find out how we can help you move with less pain!

👣 Did you know that poor footwear and untreated foot issues are major risk factors for falls in older adults? Falls can lead to serious injuries, loss of independence, and reduced confidence in daily life.

✨ A Podiatrist can help by assessing your feet, recommending supportive footwear, and managing any underlying conditions to keep you steady and safe.

At AvantiCare, our podiatry team works to reduce fall risks so you can move with confidence. 💪

Our Speech Pathologists are specialists in working with people who have speech, language and swallowing difficulties.

Did you know that swallowing difficulties are common in older adults and can have serious health consequences? When someone struggles to swallow safely, it can increase the risk of food or liquid entering the lungs (aspiration), which may lead to respiratory issues. 🗣️

It can also make it hard to eat enough, meaning important nutrients like protein might be missed which are essential for keeping muscles strong and supporting overall health.

💡 Speech Pathologists at AvantiCare help older adults maintain safe, enjoyable eating while ensuring they get the nutrition they need, reducing health risks and improving quality of life.

Contact us on (08) 7070 0036 to find out how we can support safe swallowing and good nutrition.

🧠 Did you know? Poor metabolic health, like high blood pressure, high blood sugar, and obesity can increase the risk of cognitive decline and dementia.

💡 Metabolic syndrome raises the likelihood of memory and thinking problems.
💡 High blood sugar and blood pressure can increase dementia risk.

Regular exercise, balanced nutrition, and quality sleep are vital for maintaining metabolic health. Engaging in physical activity improves brain health and reduces inflammation, while a diet rich in whole foods can support cognitive function. 🥦💪

At AvantiCare, we help you improve metabolic health through tailored exercise, nutrition guidance, and lifestyle support to protect your brain and overall wellbeing.
