Resthaven provides care and support for older people and their carers across South Australia across the state.

We offer the following services:

• Residential Services are available for older people who require ongoing care within an aged care home
• Respite is available for carers to plan a rest or break so they may maintain their own physical and emotional health. Respite may be provided in residential aged care, at home, in small groups or centres, and overnight community respite may also be available.
• Lifestyle Choices Plus offers flexible, individual support on a fee for service basis. There are no waiting lists and the choice of services is yours.

Resthaven was established by the Methodist Church in 1935, as the world emerged from the Great Depression. It’s aim then, as now, was to provide care and support for older people. Today, funding from governments is limited.

Resthaven welcomes legacies and bequests in memory of loved ones who found a ‘haven of rest in the eventide of life’. Donations over $2 are tax deductible.

Resthaven offers career opportunities and supports staff to understand the needs of older people.

We collaborate on projects that have benefit to older people, such as improved dental health, palliative care and dementia support.

Volunteering has been at the heart of Resthaven from the very beginning– the dream and vision that started in 1935.

The first practical outcome occurred when Mrs Annie Pearce and Reverend John Pearce took an elderly lady into their care at their home.

Resthaven volunteers are integral to providing services for residents and clients. They make a real difference in providing that extra level of care and support. Resthaven acknowledges and values the skills, knowledge, time and commitment of volunteers. Volunteers contribute to the achievement of Resthaven’s purpose in providing support that promotes independence, community involvement, dignity and integrity.

We welcome enquiries about volunteering with us.
