ACH Group understands that life as a carer can be demanding.

Let us help you take a break, knowing your loved one is in good hands with our long day respite for people living with moderate to high levels of memory loss or dementia.
Participants meet up in a social environment and have a daily program based on Montessori principles that focuses on maintaining and improving their current skills and capabilities.

The program includes a daily exercise program led by a qualified fitness instructor, Monday singing/ drama class, Tuesday Mosaics class and Wednesday art class, all led by qualified teachers. The program is reviewed every 10 weeks by an Occupational Therapist and Group Planner to ensure it continues to best support participants.
A nutritional lunch designed in consultation with a dietitian is provided daily, as well as a light morning and afternoon tea.

Located in the beautiful McLaren Vale region with opportunities to connect and be part of the local community.

ACH Group is excited to announce the winners for the third round of the 2025 ACH Group Way Awards!

The Good Lives Award recognises individuals or teams who bring our 4Rs (Reablement, Real Experiences, Right Relationships, and Roles) to life to support Good Lives for Older People.

🏆Congratulations to the Highercombe Team who were nominated for their exceptional commitment to supporting residents to live a good life through independence, connection, and holistic care.

In this particular instance, a resident arrived with complex care requirements, and needed full mobility support, extensive personal care assistance, and help to achieve a healthy weight. Through the dedication of Highercombe’s multidisciplinary team and the 4Rs framework, the resident regained mobility, restored his dignity, improved his health, and built meaningful social connections.

He ultimately returned home to live independently and continues to visit Highercombe, reflecting the genuine relationships formed. His journey showcases the team’s compassion and collaboration in delivering life-changing, person-centred care.

📸 The Highercombe Team received the award from Cher Lopresti, Executive Manager People Culture & Safety.
