Services for older people | Country Health Connect

We can provide you with help at home so you can remain independent, support you with other community and allied health services, or create a home away from home for you in one of our residential care facilities. Our qualified and experienced staff will respect your unique strengths and capabilities and work with you to determine what you can and wish to do in life.

"For the past three years our fiercely independent elderly parents have resisted any external help in the home and instead my sister has been helping them to maintain their day to day activities. Today we are delighted that Country Health Connect have been able to provide two very kind, patient and compassionate support workers, Julie and Daph, to help our parents with shopping and preparing meals at home. My sister is able to take a well-deserved holiday and we are very grateful for the kindness and professionalism Country Health Connect staff have displayed."

and people to share experiences with.”

“I don’t want to move anywhere; I’ll be just fine at home. I just need a bit of help with a few things that aren’t as easy as they used to be.”

- Glenys, Naracoorte SA

“I’m no longer lonely; I feel alive again”

Your rights

We are committed to ensuring that older people are treated with dignity, autonomy, and respect, and are provided with safe and quality care. The new Aged Care Act includes a Statement of Rights outlining the rights of older people.

We also believe it is important for older people and their supporters to be aware that independent aged care advocacy and support is available from OPAN (Older Persons Advocacy Network): 1800 700 600.
