Aged care
South Australian councils offer services tailored to support their senior residents, empowering them to lead independent and healthy lives within communities.
These services are made possible through funding from both state and federal government initiatives, such as the Commonwealth Home Support Program.
Supporting the wellbeing of seniors is something councils care about. Some of the services councils may provide:
- in-home support – ironing, changing linen, vacuuming, shopping from a list, or housework
- general home maintenance – replacing light bulbs or batteries, cleaning exhaust fans, gutters or windows
- home modifications – installing grab rails, key safes and ramps
- basic garden maintenance
- transport to medical appointments
- social programs like exercise classes and bus transfers to shopping centres.
For more details about the diverse range of services and support available, talk to your local council.
