Life Care

Life Care Life Care supports older South Australians to live and age well with personalised Home Care, Nursing, Allied Health and Spiritual Care services.

We foster connections, independence, and active lifestyles through tailored support at home or in our clinics. At Life Care, we believe in creating a future where ageing is embraced as a time for continued growth, comfort, and support. Since our inception in 1950, our goal has always been to provide exceptional care and build meaningful connections with the individuals and families we serve. We began with the establishment of Residential Aged Care facilities and retirement villages, meeting the communityโ€™s need for secure and supportive environments. Over the decades, the needs and aspirations of ageing Australians evolved, and so did Life Care. Recognising the growing preference for people to remain in their own homes, we led the way by introducing Home Care and Allied Health services for older South Australians, allowing us to deliver personalised support directly to our clients. This change marked a shift from simply providing accommodation to offering flexible, person-centred services that empower older Australians to live life on their own terms. By 2023, Life Care made a strategic decision to transition away from accommodation services to focus exclusively on Home Care and Allied Health for older South Australians. This decision underscored our commitment to listening to what individuals value most โ€“ the ability to age in place with dignity and independence. Our dedicated team works tirelessly to tailor services to each personโ€™s unique circumstances, ensuring they receive the care they need, when and how they need it. Today, Life Care is proud to stand as a trusted partner in positive ageing journeys. Our story continues to be written every day, as we champion innovation, compassion, and an unwavering dedication to those we serve. We are here to empower you to live a life full of possibility, supported by care that inspires confidence and brings peace of mind.

For those who are looking...

Maybe you're looking for the first time, trying to understand what care could look like for yourself or a loved one.

Maybe you're looking again, because what's in place now isn't quite working the way you'd hoped.

Wherever you're in your journey, we see you. And we're here.

Life Care has spent 75 years supporting South Australians with care that genuinely honours independence, respects dignity, and listens to what actually matters to each person.

We offer support at home, nursing services, allied health, exercise programs, spiritual care, and specialised support โ€” all designed around you.

If you're in that space of looking, wondering, or reconsidering, let's talk. No pressure, just clarity.
