South Park

South Park is a small care home with a welcoming tight-knit resident community at the heart of Minlaton on the Yorke Peninsula.

Overview

Many of our South Park residents and employees have spent much of their lives in, or in the regions around Minlaton.

South Park’s 18 single rooms, each with a private ensuite bathroom, are surrounded by comfortable lounge and sitting areas and well-maintained gardens.

Our chef prepares all food on-site daily with two courses served for lunch and three courses for dinner each day. Residents enjoy an interactive kitchen experience with meals served ‘across the counter’ and prepared using fresh ingredients from South Park’s fruit trees and vegetable and herb gardens.

Health professionals visit regularly including GPs, dentists, a podiatrist, dietitian and speech pathologist. Our physiotherapist supervises the on-site gym which features specially-designed equipment for building strength, increasing fitness and improving or maintaining mobility. There is also a varied social program that residents can choose to participate in including crafts, games and physical activities.

Residents can also have their hair done on-site by a professional hairdresser at an additional cost.
