Residential Care

A safe and secure place to continue to live well.

Our residential care services are dedicated to creating opportunities for older people to thrive, where they are valued, stimulated and connected, while still retaining control of their lives.

We understand that whatever a person’s health challenges are, they can continue to lead a ‘good life’.

We are committed to partnering with older people in a way which celebrates individuality, providing supports to optimise health and well-being. Our residential homes strive to raise the bar about what is possible, by supporting older people to remain ‘in the driver’s seat’.

From a foundation of providing high quality care supported by registered nurses, GPs and a range of health professionals including dementia specialists, we are equally passionate about optimising lifestyle, social and accommodation choices based on individual interests.

The term “Nursing Home” is – we believe – an ‘out-dated’ term to describe Residential Care.

Use of the word “nursing” denotes illness and many our residents are not ill, and choose to live in one of ACH Group’s Residential Care homes for a variety of reasons.

We believe that Residential Care should feel like being at home and that you should be afforded the same level of dignity and choice as you would in your own homes.

Good health and wellness is an easy choice with ACH Group residential care homes with our Healthy Ageing approach to help you remain physically, mentally and socially active.

Each of ACH Group residential care homes offer a variety of different options including:

  • Permanent accommodation
  • Accommodation with specific support for living with dementia
  • Respite care
You can live a good life in a nursing home

Residential care home

ACH Group permanent residential care homes are for older people who can no longer live at home and need ongoing 24/7 help with everyday tasks or health care. We have seven fully accredited homes across Adelaide and the Fleurieu Peninsula, each with their own signature features and strong links with the local community.

Social and wellbeing experiences

Our Social and Wellbeing Experiences Guide presents some of the best experiences on offer at ACH Group residential care homes. The experiences provide residents with the opportunity to meet new people in a fun and welcoming environment, learn new skills or revitalise past ones, and to live full and active lives.

Dementia support in nursing home

Dementia support

Some of our locations offer memory support units to provide a safe environment for people living with dementia. Staff are fully trained in all aspects of dementia including specialist care and are well equipped to adapt to the changing needs of people living with dementia.

Respite care

Respite care

ACH Group also offers respite options. A short stay in a Residential Care home might be just what’s needed if you are being cared for at home and your carer is unwell, going away or temporarily can’t care for you for some other reason. It can also be a good way to trial to see if it’s for you.

To find out about how we can tailor services to your needs, call our friendly team on 8159 3530.

📢 Community highlight from Elkanah Retirement Village 🐾👂

At ACH Group retirement living hubs, residents enjoy a range of activities and events - whether organised by the organisation or led by residents themselves. From social catch ups to informative sessions, there's always something to support connection and learning.

In May, residents at Elkanah Retirement Village attended an engaging session with the Australian Lions Hearing Dogs team, where they had the chance to meet Woody, a trained Hearing Assistance Dog.

💬 Jess Hattam, Community Engagement Coordinator for Australian Lions Hearing Dogs, explained:

"Whether as a stand-alone or complementary assistance to hearing aid devices, our Hearing Assistance Dogs provide help in day-to-day living, as well as provide an added level of assurance and emotional connectedness in people’s lives."

The session highlighted how Hearing Assistance Dogs support independence and can improve quality of life through increased safety, reduced isolation, and improved communication.

It was a valuable opportunity for residents to learn more about the impact of hearing loss and the practical support available, including how assistance dogs contribute to everyday wellbeing.

📷 Thanks to Tahlia, Village Manager, for capturing these moments with the Australian Lions Hearing Dogs team and residents – including Jenny pictured interacting with the dog during the session.
