Walara Hamley Bridge is a 50-bed residential aged care facility in the Mid North region of South Australia, operated by Walara, an independent not-for-profit provider. The facility provides warm, caring residential aged care with a recent $3 million redevelopment that expanded capacity from 48 to 50 beds and ensured all residents have access to ensuites. The redevelopment included new dining and lounge areas, improved reception facilities, and refurbished rooms designed to enhance resident wellbeing. Located in the regional community of Hamley Bridge, it serves older South Australians seeking supported residential care in a country setting, with Walara also offering retirement living and home care services across its network.
