For over seven decades, Life Care has provided quality, person-centred aged care at home and allied health services for older South Australians. We understand that ageing is a unique journey, and we're dedicated to offering personalised care and support at home that respects your choices and promotes dignity. Life Care provides personalised Support at Home services, in-home Nursing, Allied Health, everyday living assistance and specialised care for older South Australians. Whether you need help with daily tasks, support managing your health or services that help you stay active and connected, we’ll work with you to create care and support at home that reflects your needs, routines and goals.
Support at Home – Tailored to Your Needs
Our care and support at home is designed around your lifestyle, routines and goals, helping you remain independent while receiving the level of support that’s right for you. Whether you need occasional assistance or more regular care, we’ll work with you to create a personalised plan that fits your life.
From home and community care support services and clinical care to allied health and everyday support, we’re here to help you continue living safely, confidently and independently at home.
Clinical
Managing your health can feel more complicated when your needs begin to change. Our clinical services provide personalised support for older people, helping you receive the care you need while remaining in the comfort of your own home. Whether you need nursing care, allied health or ongoing care management, we’ll work alongside you and your healthcare team to provide support that feels coordinated, consistent and tailored to you.
Independence
Supporting independent living means helping you continue doing the things that matter most to you. Our in-home care services are designed to build confidence, maintain your routines and provide practical support that helps you remain safe, active and independent in your own home.
Everyday Living
Sometimes it’s the everyday tasks that make the biggest difference. Our in-home care services provide practical support with household tasks and daily routines, helping you maintain a safe, comfortable home while continuing to live independently and confidently.
Specialised Care Support Programs
Our care and support at home can adapt when your circumstances become more complex or your needs begin to change. Our specialised in-home care services provide personalised support during times when you and those close to you may need additional guidance, reassurance and practical care at home.
Life Care Choice Services

Life Care Client
Wendy’s visits helped me think about things I hadn’t thought of for a while. I found it really helpful – it felt a little sad but it ended happy! It meant a lot, mainly because of how thoughtful she’d been about the issue I was facing. I loved our time together.

Renewed Perspective
Starting my career as an Occupational Therapist at Life Care has been an incredibly positive experience, thanks to a supportive team and dedicated training. I feel valued and encouraged to grow. I focus on empowering clients to live independently and safely. My role is about helping them adapt tasks, environments, or use equipment and home modifications to regain confidence and continue enjoying their hobbies. For instance, a simple transfer handy bar dramatically improved a client’s ability to drive, restoring his quality of life. I’m proud to be an OT at Life Care, fostering active living for our aged care community in Adelaide, South Australia.

Empowering Independence at Life Care
As the Receptionist at Life Care’s Payneham clinic for nearly seven years, I cherish the camaraderie with our staff. I love assisting our community with everything from navigating the My Aged Care System to understanding their allied health needs, always focusing on unique circumstances. I’ve evolved my role to be friendly, efficient, and deeply empathetic, ensuring our clients—our Life Care family—feel truly heard and valued. It’s humbling when they confide in me, knowing their trust translates into enhanced treatment. I’m also proud of the welcoming atmosphere I’ve helped create, including our popular book exchange!

Supporting Life Care's Mission Since 2020
As a Chaplain at Life Care, I find profound meaning in listening to each person’s unique story—their joys, hopes, pains, and how their sense of purpose evolves through later life. My role is to respond with deep respect for their values, beliefs, and identity. This often involves simple yet powerful moments: sharing a laugh, offering a hand, or sitting quietly. These are the deeper aspects of life, and it’s a true privilege to offer this spiritual care as an integral part of the holistic support we provide, enhancing well-being for our aged care community across Adelaide, South Australia.
Nigel Uppill, Chaplaincy & Spiritual Care Manager
Deepening Connection at Life Care
For four incredibly rewarding years as an Exercise Physiologist at Life Care, I’ve loved helping people regain their ability to do what they cherish. It’s truly inspiring to show clients, often facing age-related changes, that improvement is absolutely possible. Witnessing their joy and transformation is infectious for our allied health team. We craft tailored rehabilitation programs, empowering clients to achieve their goals and create new memories. At Life Care, we’re passionate about fostering healthy ageing and proving that active living is always within reach in Adelaide, South Australia.

Empowering Active Lives at Life Care
When a virus led to anxiety and depression, turning to Life Care’s clinic was ‘the best thing I ever did!’ Now, I attend Fit & Functional and Pilates classes twice a week, plus enjoy monthly Physiotherapy and ‘exceptional’ massages. I don’t feel depressed anymore, and my anxiety is basically gone. The heartfelt empathy of the team, from my ‘marvellous’ physio Vincent to Karen at reception, is key. Life Care keeps me mobile despite spinal stenosis.

Overcoming Anxiety & Staying Mobile with Life Care
Diagnosed with MS in 2011, I found Life Care in 2017, and it’s been fantastic for my exercise and Physiotherapy. The staff, like Simon, Gabby, and Lily, are ‘absolutely excellent’ and have given me the tools to stay active, strong, and healthy. Life Care enables me to enjoy football and concerts. I wholeheartedly recommend it, especially for those with MS or neurological conditions. It feels like it has added 10-20 years to my life!

Thriving with MS & Finding Community at Life Care
For over two years, Life Care has been my lifeline. After a long wait for a Home Care Package, meeting Life Care’s Senior Consultant, Sarina, was a game-changer – her care and compassion are ‘amazing’. I receive incredible support with cleaning, meals, social outings, and even arranging Neuro Physiotherapy. My carers are like ‘best friends’, and I trust them completely. Life Care helps me live independently and with dignity.
Di P
"Blessed" with Compassionate In-Home Support
After a double fall and a hip replacement, I found the personal connection and expert Physiotherapy I needed at Life Care. From Jan’s ‘fabulous’ home visits to ‘fantastic’ massages and welcoming clinic classes, it’s more than care – it’s a ‘5+ stars’ experience with a warm, cheerful atmosphere. Life Care’s support has been invaluable in my rehabilitation.
