The Willochra HomeAt The Willochra Home, we believe in respectful, relationship-centred care – built on a foundation of dignity, community and connection. As the newest addition to Barunga Village’s trusted aged care services, we are proud to continue a long-standing tradition of compassionate care in the heart of Crystal Brook.
Our Home offers 42 fully serviced rooms with high- and low-level residential care, providing a comfortable, welcoming environment that reflects the charm of country living. Nestled in the Mid North of South Australia, The Willochra Home offers House Members a peaceful lifestyle surrounded by supportive staff and familiar community values.
With a strong focus on individual well-being, we promote meaningful relationships, encourage family involvement and support independence wherever possible. House Members enjoy 24-hour care, a variety of lifestyle and dining options, and shared spaces designed for connection and comfort.
Fully licensed by the Commonwealth Government and originally established in 1964 under the Anglican Diocese of Willochra, the Home has seen multiple expansions and upgrades to meet the growing needs of the community – while never losing its personal, homely feel.
As part of Barunga Village, The Willochra Home upholds our commitment to excellence in aged care – where every House Member is known, valued and supported to live with purpose.
