Step into the vibrant world of CCH, where residential aged care is redefined with warmth, innovation and genuine community spirit. Life truly gets better with age, and for older persons and families seeking quality, comfort and connection, CCH stands out as Adelaide’s benchmark for positive ageing, compassion and excellence.
Living Well Every Day
From sunlit, private rooms overlooking cherry orchards to freshly baked bread in bustling kitchens, residents start their days surrounded by sights, sounds and tastes that evoke home, not institution.
At CCH’s flagship Summerhill home and across all our metropolitan Adelaide and Adelaide Hills locations, each detail has been finely tuned. Architecturally designed gardens, spacious lounges and inviting activity areas foster both independence and togetherness.
Residents set their own pace. Some choose to join community outings to local markets, others participate in exercise or art workshops led by the “Partners in Positive Ageing” team, while spontaneous knitting circles and musical afternoons spring up in shared spaces.
CCH’s healthy ageing continuum includes evidence-based reablement programs, with onsite gyms managed by exercise physiologists. This is a vital ingredient in maintaining mobility and confidence for all.
Care That Is Truly Personal
What sets CCH apart is its ability to wrap care around the whole person, not just the medical chart. Twenty-four-seven nursing, memory support, short-term respite and pastoral care are delivered by staff chosen for their compassion and expertise.
A “Kind Hearts” campaign ensures kindness is the superpower that runs through every interaction, from assistance with daily tasks to moments of companionship and laughter. CCH maintains full accreditation and star ratings across all sites, upholding strict standards for safety and quality.
All homes benefit from regular refurbishment and technology updates. Whether it is an electronic medication system or digital menu planning, cutting-edge systems free up more time for staff to focus on meaningful care rather than paperwork.
Welcoming Families, Building Community
Families are woven into daily life. Regular Quality Care Advisory Meetings mean resident, client and family input shapes service design. Warm indoor and outdoor gathering spaces ensure visitors are truly part of the community, and pop-up events or intergenerational celebrations are always on the calendar.
Digital communication apps keep families connected and involved, even on busy days.
CCH’s social impact extends far beyond its walls, with healthy ageing support reaching hundreds of South Australians, local partnerships and collaborations.
