2006

Expansion in the south-east

Resthaven made contact with Naracoorte and Lucindale Council, Naracoorte Uniting Church, Longridge Retirement Village, and Naracoorte Health Service after identifying and researching service gaps in the state’s upper southeast.

These informal talks identified strong support to establish local community services. Subsequently, Resthaven Naracoorte Community Services was officially opened on 3 October 2006 by the Federal Member for Barker, the Hon Patrick Secker.

With the office based in the Longridge Retirement Village complex, the services offered included in-home care and support and day/overnight centre-based respite for carers.

With this service milestone, the growth in Community Services extended across metropolitan Adelaide, the Murraylands, Adelaide hills and throughout the southeast.
