WELCOME to the FAMILY
“ If it ’ s not good enough for my family , then it ’ s not good enough for you .” That ’ s the quote which South Australian family business SACARE lives by .
Since starting in 1994 , SACARE now has five supported independent living facilities in the Adelaide metropolitan area , with a sixth one on the way .
Chloe Kempe is General Manager of Client Relations and Service Delivery – and is also daughter of SACARE ’ s founders Andrew and Sue Marshall .
Ms Kempe said SACARE ’ s supported independent living options , located in the Adelaide
suburbs of Magill , North Adelaide , Kingswood , Prospect and Hope Valley , are close to medical professionals , public transport routes and community amenities .
“ Each setting is designed to include state of the art features to encourage and enable our customers to develop and maintain independence ,” Ms Kempe said .
“ All properties include 24-hour resident support with some of them including kitchenettes , ensuites and ceiling lifters .
“ We go beyond creating homes . Our prime focus is always on supporting our customers ’ futures by helping them reach their best potential .
“ We recognise that everyone should have the opportunity to set personal goals and pursue personal interests . We enable
SACARE ' s Briarholm property at Kingswood ( above ), includes a hydro pool with ceiling lifter ( left ). everyone to work with our Social and Behaviour Therapies Team to establish personal goals and achieve them in an inclusive and encouraging environment .”
Nick Benwell is a resident at SACARE ’ s Tolley House at Hope Valley in Adelaide ’ s north-eastern suburbs .
“ Leaving the rehabilitation clinic and moving into SACARE ’ s Tolley House has given my mental attitude a 180-degree turnaround ,” Nick said . “ I am happier than I thought I could be living with spinal injury .”
SACARE ’ s latest development , ‘ The Gums ’ in Salisbury , will focus on training and rehabilitation therapy with intentions to establish a range of high care and supported living accommodation options . Ms Kempe said this facility will include the latest assistive technology and therapies and is an exciting step forward for South Australian rehabilitation services . www . sacare . com . au
