Helping Hand provides residential aged care, home support services, health care and community programs to older people in metropolitan Adelaide and regional South Australia. Our comprehensive range of services reflects our commitment to choice for older people, and our investment in innovative research and partnerships shows our commitment to respond to our clients’ needs in the changing landscape of aged care in Australia.
Whether our client chooses to remain in their own home or join us in our home environment, we believe that we must understand the client’s point of view and recognise their needs. Our clients and their families are provided with the opportunity to be included in their care, decision-making and planning at every step of the way.
Helping Hand has gone from strength to strength for seventy years, and now employs more than 2,000 staff and 600 volunteers, providing services to more than 7,000 clients across the state. Our work has a national influence on strategy for ageing – through direct consultation with the Commonwealth Government, we help shape thinking and policy. Our clients’ needs and their personal freedom drive how we innovate, plan, manage and deliver services – they are our motivation.
