Aged care homes in Penola

18 Church St, Penola SA 5277, Australia

Pinchunga in Penola is a residential aged care facility in the historic Coonawarra wine region township of Penola, the childhood home of Saint Mary MacKillop and gateway to the Wrattonbully and Coonawarra wine regions of the Limestone Coast. The facility provides residential care for older adults in a community of deep historical and spiritual significance in Australian Catholic tradition, the town where Mary MacKillop established the Sisters of St Joseph and the first school in 1867. Penola's heritage character, its connections to Australia's first canonised saint, and the surrounding world-famous Coonawarra terra rossa vineyards create a uniquely meaningful setting for aged care.
