Why Elder?
Getting older shouldn’t mean giving up the things that make you who you are. Elder is an award winning care provider that can help you keep the life you know, all while getting the care you need.
We believe quality care should give you choice. With Elder you choose who your carer is, and how you’d like to be cared for. Our expert care advisors and clinical team are here to reassure and guide you through your care decision. And, once care is in place, you’ll have your own dedicated Family Support Specialist, and can manage every aspect of your care simply, safely and efficiently through your own MyElder account.
