Life Care
At Life Care we believe that ageing is not a disability or a policy problem to be solved, rather it is a natural part of life that should be celebrated. It is unique and varies according to our character, experiences, outlook, well-being and family circumstances.
This belief compels us to see beyond conventional attitudes that surround ageing and strive to build a future which delivers an innovative and positive experience for each individual.
Life Care’s strategic direction is not to just continue with business as usual, but to truly flourish and develop Life Care’s Integrated Communities where we, and people like us, will want to age and experience Live Every Day.
Our History
Life Care was established by the Churches of Christ in 1950 and first opened the ‘Glenrose Court – Aged Care’ facility at Glen Osmond in the same year.
Originally known as Christian Rest Homes and later Churches of Christ Retirement Services, Life Care – still a not-for-profit organisation and with values consistent with our history– is now financially independent from Churches of Christ and has grown and diversified through generations to meet the changing care needs of older South Australians for more than six decades.

Volunteers are a special group of people who willingly give their time to help others. Their contribution is valued by our clients, their families and staff.
Our volunteers tell us they enjoy giving their time but also they receive so much in return and their relationships and connections with clients are quite special.
We work hard to match volunteer skills, expertise and interests with our clients, so that a common understanding and bond can develop, whether this is working as part of a group activity, or spending time with an individual.
Our volunteers become involved in a range of activities, including sing alongs, cooking classes, dancing lessons, gardening programs, Men's Sheds, choir, social excursions, reading, playing cards and walking groups.
