What are the best aged care homes in Adelaide?
There is no single best aged care home in Adelaide: the right one depends on the care needed, where family can visit, the budget, and whether a suitable room is free. Of the 41 Adelaide homes we list, 17 hold the highest overall government star rating (as at February 2026), 4 stars, and the table below lists them first. A rating is a starting point, not a verdict: also weigh residents' experience, staffing, the room price and how the home feels when you visit.

Ratings: Star Ratings published by the Department of Health, Disability and Ageing (as at February 2026). Room prices: the figure each home has published, where we have one; prices change, so confirm with the home. How the star ratings work, and what they miss.
How to choose a home in Adelaide
Seven checks, drawn from the Adelaide data above. One more before any of them: no public list shows live vacancies, so a home with no suitable room for months is not an option this month. Ring each home on your shortlist.
Start with the overall rating, then read the parts
17 of the 28 rated homes in our Adelaide list hold 4 or 5 stars. None is rated below 3 stars, so the overall figure alone will not separate many homes here. 13 homes have no rating in our data; newer homes often have none yet, so ask them directly.
Give residents' experience extra weight
Residents' experience is the one part of the rating that comes from residents themselves, through an independent survey. Nine Adelaide homes rated 4 or 5 overall are rated 3 or lower for it, so a high overall figure can hide how residents feel day to day. Across the 19 homes with sub-ratings, 1 score 4 or 5 for residents' experience.
Check staffing, especially at night
The staffing rating reflects care minutes per resident each day, including registered nurse time. Among our Adelaide homes, 4 homes are rated 1 or 2 stars for staffing and 4 are rated 4 or 5; 2 of the 4 homes with published care minutes met their government target. These are averages over a quarter, so ask how many care staff and registered nurses are on each shift, including nights and weekends.
Compare the price of the actual room
17 of the 41 homes in our list have a published room price in our data, from $420,000 at St Basil's Homes SA to $875,000 at Bolton Clarke Walkerville, with a median of $525,000. Prices vary room by room within a home, so ask for the full list and the price of the room actually on offer. What aged care costs in Adelaide covers the daily fees as well.
Put location before a single star
The homes in our list are spread across 28 suburbs, with the most in North Plympton (3), Glenside (2), Hope Valley (2) and Kingswood (2). Choose somewhere family and friends can reach easily: regular visits from familiar people matter a great deal, and a home close by can suit better than a higher-rated one an hour away.
Look past who owns it
Of the 41 homes in our Adelaide list, 32 are run by not-for-profits (23 of them faith-based), 7 by for-profit companies (3 of them ASX-listed) and 2 by government. Of the rated ones, 61% of not-for-profit homes and 67% of for-profit homes hold 4 or 5 stars. Ownership alone tells you little about a particular home: ask who manages it day to day, how long they have been there, and how much agency staff it uses.
Match the home to the care needed
Our data does not record specific services for these homes, so ask each one directly about dementia care, a secure area, palliative care and respite. See our guides to dementia care, respite and palliative care.
Questions about aged care in Adelaide
How many aged care homes are there in Adelaide?

Are there 5-star aged care homes in Adelaide?

How much does a room cost in a Adelaide aged care home?

Are most aged care homes in Adelaide not-for-profit?
