Established in 1935, Resthaven Incorporated is respected for the delivery of high quality, responsive, accredited services for older South Australians and their carers.
A Public Benevolent Institution, Resthaven is a separately incorporated and financially independent community service agency of the Uniting Church in Australia.
Resthaven aims to enhance the quality of life for older people of all faiths and beliefs, with diverse cultural and economic backgrounds, through the provision of residential and community care and support services, according to individual need and availability. Services extend from basic support to very high care at home or in residential care accommodation, as well as offering respite for carers of older people.
Resthaven offers in-home care and support to older people living throughout metropolitan Adelaide, the Adelaide Hills, Murraylands, Riverland and the Limestone Coast. Rehabilitation and therapy centres are located at Elizabeth, Marion and Paradise.
For those who require residential aged care, Resthaven’s fully accredited residential care facilities offer high and low level care, residential respite accommodation, secure units for people with memory loss and meaningful leisure and lifestyle programs. With high level fire safety systems and quality features, they are located throughout metropolitan Adelaide and in rural South Australia. Independent living units are available at Bellevue Heights, Marion, Malvern and Paradise.

Respecting Diversity
Resthaven recognises and embraces the diversity of the Australian community, which is reflected in Resthaven’s residents, clients, employees and volunteers.
We strive for excellence in our work with individuals, value inclusion, unity and tolerance and respect the dignity of each person.
We expect that all staff, volunteers, residents, clients, their families and carers embrace these values, and treat each other with mutual respect and understanding, paying due regard to each person’s country of birth, language, culture and beliefs.
All staff undergo mandatory training so that they are able to offer optimal support, and police checks are carried out prior to and triennially during their employment.
