Welcome Home to Pennwood
Moving into an aged care home can feel daunting it’s a time of change that can bring many emotions for older people and their families. At Pennwood, we understand this, and our goal is to make the transition as gentle and supportive as possible. We provide a safe, welcoming place to call home, where every older person is treated with kindness, dignity, and respect. We believe that every stage of life is special. Our caring team is dedicated to ensuring that older people feel comfortable, secure, and truly at home supported to live each day with peace, comfort, and purpose. We are deeply committed to providing culturally safe, trauma-aware and healing-informed care, recognising and respecting each person’s life experiences, background, and identity. Pennwood Village is nestled in a quiet pocket of Pennington, in Adelaide’s western suburbs. Our large, beautifully maintained property accommodates older people across a range of care options, including:
• Transition Care (TCP) short-term restorative support following a hospital stay
• Respite Care temporary care to give families and carers a break
• Permanent Residential Care long-term accommodation and support in a caring, home-like environment
We want Pennwood Village to feel like a home, not just a place to live a community where older people, families, and staff share warmth, connection, and belonging.

Environment
Eight houses are nestled among beautiful gardens with meandering paths, perfect for a peaceful morning stroll. Throughout the grounds, there are several inviting outdoor seating areas where older people and visitors can relax and enjoy the fresh air, pick flowers, watch the birds, or share a chat over a cuppa. These shared spaces are designed to foster connection, and a sense of belonging, offering a tranquil environment where everyone feels valued and at home.
Accommodation
Each house features 10 spacious bedrooms, each with its own private ensuite bathroom and a door that opens directly to the garden, allowing plenty of natural light and fresh air as well as added infection-control benefits during times of heightened health precautions. Every house also includes a communal kitchen, dining area, and a comfortable lounge with a smart TV, multicultural satellite channels, and high-speed internet access, helping older people stay connected with family, friends, and the wider community.
Facilities
Pennwood Village offers a range of thoughtfully designed spaces that support wellbeing, connection, and enjoyment. Our state-of-the-art gymnasium features specially selected equipment to promote strength, mobility, and confidence for older people. A large activity room hosts fun games, exercise classes, concerts, and community events, while the popular outdoor Village Square complete with heating and cooling provides a comfortable gathering place all year round. For moments of peace and reflection, we have a beautiful small chapel available for quiet prayer and spiritual connection. There’s also a fully equipped hairdressing salon with a visiting hairdresser, and our modern Kafana café offers coffee, cake, and light meals a welcoming space where older people, families, and visitors can relax, socialise, and feel part of the Pennwood community.
Wellbeing
Our team of kind and caring lifestyle staff deliver a tailored wellbeing and lifestyle program designed to nurture the mind, body, and spirit of each older person. Every program is flexible and person-centred, offering opportunities to participate in group activities or enjoy one-on-one time based on individual preferences, abilities, and comfort.
Older people at Pennwood regularly enjoy bus outings, shopping trips, and social events, keeping them connected with the wider community. Within the Village, our visiting art therapist inspires creativity and self-expression through art that heals and uplifts the heart, while sound therapy sessions promote calm, relaxation, and emotional balance.
Our intergenerational programs bring joy and laughter as local children visit to share stories, songs, and activities creating beautiful moments of connection between generations. Friendly visiting animals also bring comfort and companionship, reminding everyone of the simple joy that comes from unconditional love and gentle interaction.
At Pennwood Village, we believe wellbeing is about more than just physical health it’s about belonging, purpose, and community. We are deeply committed to providing culturally safe, trauma-aware, and healing-informed care, recognising and respecting each person’s life story, background, and identity. Our goal is to ensure every older person feels valued, supported, and at home in an environment that celebrates individuality, fosters inclusion, and nourishes the spirit.
