- Aboriginal Elders Village -
Adelaide’s only Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander specific residential aged care facility
Elders Village
Funded under the National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Flexible Aged Care program, the Aboriginal Elders Village is located in Adelaide’s northern suburbs, providing live-in facilities for up to 32 Elders with high and low care needs, as well as respite when required.
The Elders Village has a cosy homelike environment, all residents have a private room and enjoy sharing meals and social activities together.
