No Waitlist, No Delays

Who is private aged care for?

Private in-home aged care is the right choice for older Australians in Adelaide and across South Australia who need support now, not in six months. Whether you are waiting for a government Home Care Package to be approved, don't qualify for government-funded programs, or simply prefer the flexibility and speed of privately arranging your own care, SACARE can have a support worker at your door within days.

There are no assessments to wait for, no ACAT referrals required, and no complex paperwork. Just straightforward, high-quality in-home care delivered by trained SACARE support workers — starting when you need it.
