2025: What a Year to Remember! 🎉

As we close out an extraordinary year, we're taking a moment to celebrate YOU – our clients, families, carers, partners, team, and the entire South Australian community who made 2025 truly unforgettable.

Our 2025 Highlights:

🎂 75 YEARS OF CARING!
We celebrated a remarkable milestone – 75 years since our humble beginnings in 1950! From becoming South Australia's first Home Care Package provider in 1993 to today, we've remained committed to what matters most: you.

🌟 UNIFIED UNDER ONE IDENTITY
On July 1, we brought Life Care at Home and Life Care Active together as simply Life Care – one name, one stronger mission: fostering relationships of care that generate fullness of life.

🏡 SUPPORT AT HOME TRANSFORMATION
This year brought significant change as we navigated the Support at Home journey together. Thank you for your trust, patience, and invaluable feedback as we embraced this new era of care.

💙 COMMUNITY CONNECTIONS
From coffee conversations and wellness sessions to aged care expos and community events across Adelaide, we loved meeting you, listening to your stories, and sharing moments of genuine connection.

👏 TO OUR AMAZING TEAM
Our care workers, nurses, chaplains, allied health professionals, case managers, and support staff – you brought compassion, dignity, and genuine human connection to every interaction. You're the heart of Life Care!

Thank you to our wonderful clients, families, carers, valued partners, employees, and our entire South Australian community. You've made this 75th year truly unforgettable! Your stories, your smiles, and your trust inspire us every single day.

As we step into 2026, we're excited to expand our services, introduce new programs, and continue creating meaningful connections across Adelaide and beyond.

From all of us at Life Care – Happy New Year! 🎊 Here's to 2026 and another year of care, connection, and celebration together.

From Our CEO, Grace Scaffidi:

What an incredible milestone – 75 years of Life Care!

As I reflect on this extraordinary year, I'm filled with gratitude for each and every one of you who has been part of our journey. From our humble beginnings in 1950 to becoming South Australia's pioneer in home care services, it's the relationships and connections we've built that truly define who we are.

To clients, familes, and our valued partners – thank you for entrusting us with your and the care of your loved ones. Your collaboration makes our work possible and meaningful.

This year brought significant transformation with Support at Home, and I want to thank you for trusting us to walk alongside you through these changes. Your feedback, your stories, and your willingness to share your experiences help us grow and improve every single day. Please keep these conversations going – we're listening, and we're here for you.

To our incredible team of care workers, nurses, allied health professionals, chaplains, case managers, and support staff – thank you for bringing compassion, dignity, and that special human touch to everything you do. You don't just provide care; you create moments of joy, recognition, and genuine connection that truly transform lives.

To our South Australian community – thank you for 75 years of trust and support. You've welcomed us into your homes and hearts, and we're proud to serve this wonderful state we call home.

As we enter the festive season, I know this can be a time of mixed emotions. Please take care of yourselves as much as we care for you. If you need that bit of extra support, don't hesitate to reach out – we're here to help.

Looking ahead to 2026, we're excited about expanding our services across Adelaide and introducing new programs that will continue to foster fullness of life for all South Australians.

From all of us at Life Care, wishing you a very happy Christmas and New Year. Stay safe, find moments of peace amidst the busyness, and we'll see you in 2026 – ready for another exciting year of compassionate care and meaningful connection.

Thank You, Northern Adelaide! 💙

We're still reflecting on the wonderful connections we made at the Northern Adelaide Aged Care Expo in Gawler last month.

To everyone who stopped by our booth – thank you for sharing your stories, your questions, and your time with us. These meaningful conversations continue to inspire us in the work we do.

It was a privilege to connect with older South Australians, families, carers, and fellow providers who share our commitment to compassionate, person-centred care. Your warmth and openness truly brightened our day.

For 75 years, Life Care has been dedicated to shaping positive ageing lifestyles across South Australia. Events like these strengthen our connection to the communities we're honoured to serve.
