UnitingSA has expanded aged care services in the Riverland with the Support at Home program commencing from November 1 2025.
Support at Home is designed to help older people live independently at home for as long as they can by offering a range of wrap-around supports.
The new services include nursing and allied health, personal care and respite, as well as support with everyday living such as domestic cleaning, gardening and home maintenance.
UnitingSA is well known in the Riverland as a provider of the Commonwealth Home Support Program (CHSP) and has operated in the region for over 35 years.
UnitingSA currently supports almost 100 clients through CHSP including group activities, social support and assistance with transport.
Ferda has worked for UnitingSA since 1994.
“Belonging is so important. Some of our clients are socially isolated,” she says. “I think families get a lot of peace-of-mind knowing that their mum or dad is out socialising and being active in the community.”
“We’ve been wanting to offer these new services for some time – there’s certainly demand for it – so we’re excited to expand,” she says.
Every member of the Riverland team is passionate about what they do. You can see their care and compassion in the way they interact with others.
“We’re very much about supporting people to live their best lives,” explains Ferda. “Sometimes all we need is a little extra support at home and that’s where our team can help.”
