Hello! I'm Stacey-lee Ferguson, and I'm excited to share my business with you! It all began in 2000 when i chose to begin my career in Youth Work. I began my journey through TAFE for the next few years. I then worked in the Barossa Valley Council in the Youth Pathways program. Initiating and facilitating the new program throughout the towns in the Valley.  I then worked for Baptist Care for 11 years. 2019, I began my career as a NDIS Support Coordinator and quickly recognized the urgent need for a service that truly sees clients as individuals, rather than just numbers. By 2020, I turned that vision into reality by launching my family-owned business, Elivate Care, right here in South Australia! At Elivate Care, we are dedicated to providing personalized services that cater to each individual's needs and expectations. Our wonderful and diverse team possesses a wide range of skills, enabling us to handle various situations with care and expertise.
