Welcome to Care & Share
Here, we enjoy a friendly community way of life that recognises the uniqueness of every individual. Care & Share is built upon the traditional family values of integrity, honesty, respect and trust. You will discover a warm and friendly group of people who enjoy doing life together and are very welcoming to newcomers. Care & Share at Trinity is a social activity program which enables older people to participate in community life and feel socially included through structured and informal, group based activities that develop, maintain or support independent living, individual goal setting and social engagement.
Purpose/Aim
We support independent living for people who are 65 and over who may be socially isolated or need help to attend out of home activities appropriate to their interests and abilities.
Eligibility
To attend Care & Share you need to be over 65 years of age and live in the South and Eastern suburbs of Adelaide.
Activities
Care & Share has a range of activities available throughout the week.
Goal setting
Care & Share is committed to providing innovative ways to work with older people to ideally maximise their independence and support their ability to remain living in their own home and actively participating in the community.
Keeping active
Regular exercise along with incidental exercise has been proved and widely documented about the wonderful health giving benefits to body, mind and soul. Care & Share does not provide rehabilitation services, however we do provide opportunities to increase the level of activities in each participant’s day.
Meals
The 2 course meal at lunch time is the highlight of the day as sharing a meal together is another opportunity to engage in good conversation and get to know people.
Over 35 years of experience in serving the community
With over 35 years of experience in serving the community, you’ll find a transparent and collaborative philosophy that’s imparted in all that we do. We invite you to join us for a free trial day to come along and talk about opportunities to become involved and pursue your interests.

Cost
Participants are asked to pay a small contribution of $17 each day of attendance to contribute towards the cost of the meal and social activities. Transport may be available and can be negotiated with the Program Manager at a small additional cost depending on proximity to Colonel Light Gardens.
For those who are in receipt of a Home Care Package (HCP) and not eligible for CHSP funding, attendance will need to be covered by HCP funds. A separate HCP price list is available. Please discuss this with the Program Manager.
Testimonials
I just want to say again how grateful I am for your wonderful program and improving my mother’s life to such a significant extent. I have never known her to be so happy, she has met a lovely group of staff and people who seem to like her for who she is and it has made a tremendous difference to her
I am just so happy to be here. To think of all the years that I sat home alone when I could have been with friends
To come out on a cold day like today, it must say something about the group. Best meal I have had all week. I am not sure what I like more, the meals or the company
Care and Share is a comprehensive and stimulating program, my husband is much more alive when he returns home. He is a lot more involved with life now. You are doing a great job which I appreciate so much
My sincerest and humblest thank you for truly making me feel welcome since I joined the group
