Orroroo community home

Orroroo Community Home in Orroroo is a small residential aged care home in the historic Mid North township of Orroroo on the Pekina Creek, 270 km north of Adelaide in the foothills of the southern Flinders Ranges, providing community-based residential care for older adults of this isolated pastoral and farming community. The home serves the farming and retired community of the Orroroo-Carrieton Council area, where wheat growing and sheep pastoralism have defined the landscape and community for over 150 years. Orroroo's position as a small but self-contained mid-north service town, at the gateway to the Flinders Ranges from the east, provides a distinctive setting for community-governed aged care in remote South Australia.
