Yeltana Nursing Home

Helping Hand Yeltana, whose name originates from an Aboriginal word meaning ‘somewhere to rest’, has been part of the Whyalla community for several decades. Residents can enjoy cosy and comfortable areas along with landscaped, interactive gardens inspired by the local surroundings. The lifestyle team, volunteers, church services, and hair salon add to the country community at Yeltana. Most rooms are private, with a private ensuite; and the memory support unit offers specialised care for people living with dementia. All meals, including modified meals, are prepared fresh on site daily with seasonal menus overseen by a nutritionist and planned by Helping Hand’s chef. Yeltana has a beautiful foreshore location on Newton Street, with picturesque views over Spencer Gulf.

Disclaimers

All information on this page - excluding Star Ratings, verified specialisations and Residents' Experience - is entered and maintained by Yeltana Nursing Home, who is responsible for ensuring the information is accurate, complete and up to date.

The Department of Health, Disability and Ageing assess the quality of care at all government-funded aged care homes. Based on these assessments, each home receives a Star Rating as a simple way of showing information about the quality of care they provide and how they compare to others. Read more about Star Ratings.

If you pay a refundable accommodation deposit or a refundable accommodation contribution, they may be subject to retention. Any daily accommodation payment you make may also be subject to indexation. Learn more about aged care home costs and fees.

Specialisations with a check mark symbol are verified by the Department of Health, Disability and Ageing. Each verification lasts for 3 years from the date it was granted. Once it expires, providers can apply again if they want to continue to be recognised for a specific specialisation on the Find a Provider tool. Learn more about how the specialisation verification process works.
