Learn about usI was sitting at home 24/7. One of the Helping Hand coordinators suggested I attend this social group. They pick me up, we have a lovely lunch and I’m home by 4pm. I look forward to Fridays, I’ve come out of my shell.
Annette
We both appreciate being in walking distance to shopping, library and Council community support programs. We go on outings arranged through the Council and Margaret is also doing an exercise program. It is important to seek out what is available in your community and take the opportunities to participate and get involved.
Bill and Margaret
I do find dance class exciting. I get completely lost in the moment and the hour goes way too soon. The social experience and friendships are great.
Gaynor
In my heart, I still feel Italian, but my loyalty is to Australia first, this is my home. Thank God I was able to find a place here in Whyalla. My daughter visits and calls me every day, and I enjoy the activities.
Liliana
We are absolutely thrilled to be in our delightful unit that is so close to the beach. And we are very grateful to Helping Hand and our village neighbours for providing this wonderful community environment for us and our labrador Newton.

Transition care provides short-term care after a hospital stay to help you get back on your feet. You can have nursing, physical therapy and personal care services. You will need to have hospital staff arrange an assessment while you are still an inpatient, or you can arrange this yourself by phoning My Aged Care on 1800 200 422.
A retirement village provides accommodation for people who are over 55, and who are either still working part time or are retired. Retirement living is designed for people who can live independently in their own home.
Friends and family are welcome to visit and stay with you in your retirement unit. Part of living in a retirement village is the sense of community and knowing who your neighbours are. This means that if you are planning on having a visitor for an extended stay, you will need to talk to the Housing Coordinator and let them know who is staying, and for how long.
In-home care allows you to continue living independently at home. You can tailor the care you receive to meet your needs, and support is offered on a sliding scale from basic to high care needs.
Residential care is there for people who are no longer able to live independently at home, either due to physical frailty or the need for increased support due to conditions such as dementia. Support and care is provided 24/7, including meals, assistance with daily living activities, and lifestyle and activity programs.
