Welcome to the 12th issue of Good Lives Magazine

Our long-time readers may notice the magazine has undergone a design refresh, but rest assured we’ve continued to fill the pages with your favourite content.

On the topic of new things, in September ACH Group opened Healthia – an aged care, health, and education hub – located in Adelaide’s north. Jean and Rose, who grace the front cover, were some of the first residents of Healthia Residential Care Home. Having been friends for more than 40 years, they now live next to one another at Healthia.

Read more about their story from page four. Also, inside this edition, you’ll find a list of free activities around Adelaide and on the Fleurieu Peninsula; health and wellbeing articles on how to get creative and tips for eating well over the festive season; and three centenarians came together to share their insightful views.

Plus, on page 20 we introduce you to our new Chair of the Board, Imelda Lynch, so you can get to know a little more about her.

Turn to page 23 and 33 of this issue for your chance to win!

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.
