Life Care Unifies Brands to Strengthen Home Care Support for Older South Australians

For over six decades, Life Care has been a trusted partner to older South Australians, evolving with their needs and aspirations. Today, we stand on the cusp of an exciting new chapter, as we proudly announce the unification of our cherished brands, Life Care at Home and Life Care Active, under the single identity of Life Care. This strategic step isn’t just a brand evolution; it’s a renewed commitment to our enduring mission: to foster relationships of care that generate fullness of life.

Our journey began in 1950, establishing residential aged care facilities and retirement villages to meet a vital community need. As the decades unfolded, so too did the desires of ageing Australians. We listened, and we led, pioneering Home Care and Allied Health services to empower individuals to remain in the comfort and familiarity of their own homes. In fact, in 1993, Life Care was the first South Australian-based organisation to accept what are now known as Home Care Packages.

Ten years later, in 2023, we made a pivotal decision to transition away from residential aged care services and retirement villages to focus exclusively on Home Care and Allied Health for older South Australians, a testament to our dedication to dignity and independence in ageing. This is the vision that inspires us: to support older South Australians in shaping their own positive ageing, expressed through meaningful connections and participation.

It’s with this vision and strong unified identity that keeps us in a position to be a trusted and valued provider to our clients as we now move through another era of change under Support at Home, and how we will continue to deliver services that not only meet the needs of our clients, but enables them to truly flourish.

“We believe in creating a future where ageing is embraced as a time for continued growth, comfort, and support,” said Grace Scaffidi, Chief Executive Officer of Life Care. “This unification strengthens our ability to serve the South Australian community effectively. Our focus on Home-Based Care and Allied Health services allows us to provide flexible, person-centred services that empower older South Australians to live life on their own terms. We are excited about this next chapter and the continued positive impact we will make together.”

Life Care is proud to stand as a trusted partner in positive ageing journeys. Our story unfolds daily, driven by innovation, compassion, and an unwavering dedication to those we serve. We are here to empower older South Australians to live a life full of possibility, supported by care that inspires confidence and brings peace of mind.
