If it is 2am and you are scrolling for help with placing your loved one into Aged Care then call David and his team. Do not hesitate! I felt like a weight was shifted from my shoulders after a meeting with David - he is knowledgeable and accessible to answer all of your questions if you are trying to navigate this system for the first time. We were overwhelmed and stressed, but left his office calm and with a plan. Honestly don't hesitate to make contact, you won't regret it. Thankyou for everything David.

I cannot speak highly enough of Senexus, they achieved the impossible in such a delicate family situation. I highly recommend the services of these people. They alleviated all of the 'Hard' out of the whole Nursing Home process from the very start all the way to the end and then some. Even down to the personal hugs and reassurance that you need getting through the mind field of the Nursing home search and application process. They calculated the affordability, the needs and requirements and then the choice once all had been figured out. Hilda was absolutely incredible I cannot thank her enough for the smooth transition, she went above and beyond to help in our tricky situation. This is their profession, this is what they do on a daily basis, they are in the know. I am very fortunate that my mum is very settled and happy and receiving the care that is needed for her all thanks to Senexus. I seriously would never have achieved the outcome we now have on my own. Thank you will never be enough.

Five stars are not enough to express our gratitude for the exceptional service we received when transitioning my mum into care. What began as a highly frustrating and overwhelming process for our family was made incredibly easy, all thanks to David. From our very first interaction, David went entirely above and beyond our expectations. He was extremely understanding of our situation during a very emotional time. His communication was flawless, keeping us informed at every single step and patiently answering all of our questions. David's empathy and absolute professionalism completely removed the stress from the experience. We are incredibly grateful for his high level of service and cannot thank him enough for his outstanding support. We highly recommend this team to anyone navigating this journey. Thanks again Graham and Michelle

After two different friends recommended David Coluccio and the team at Senexus to help us navigate aged care for both of our parents, we arranged a meeting, and from that point on, the process became so much easier. Mum transitioned seamlessly from hospital into aged care, while dad stayed temporarily with us until approval was granted for him to join mum in care at the same place. What initially felt like an overwhelming and emotional process became manageable thanks to the support and guidance from Senexus. The aged care system can feel like a minefield of obstacles, but Senexus made everything clear, straightforward and stress-free. Within just a couple of weeks, we had been offered places for both of our parents. Their understanding of the system, attention to detail and genuine care for families is exceptional. We are incredibly grateful to David and the entire Senexus team. Thanks David and team!

Australia's aged care system is so horribly complicated, bureaucratic & time consuming to access. David & his team at Senexus however took all of that work on board for us & using their expertise & networks delivered a great result for my mother & our family in really quick time. Its was a difficult time for us & engaging Senexus to handle things was a great decision. A very knowlegeable, responsive & caring service - highly recommend.

My family went to David Coluccio for help with finding respite and permanent residential care for my father who suffers from Alzheimers. David saw us promptly, and within 2 days we had 2 offers of placements to choose from. Both these facilities had been “short listed” by David as being places that provided exceptional care, which is one of the most concerning aspects of placing a loved one in someone else’s hands for that care. The administration work that goes into this move is overwhelming for most people and David handled all of that for us, making an emotional and stressful time a lot more manageable. We are very happy with Dad’s accommodation and care and would highly recommend anyone going down this path with a loved one, to seek David’s help and use his knowledge to make this difficult time so much easier. Thank you David!

My brother and I greatly appreciated David (and the Senexus team’s) expertise, guidance, and excellent service throughout the process of finding residential care for our parents at short notice, and for achieving such a wonderful outcome. Six months on, our parents are enjoying their new home, and we couldn’t be happier. Thank you!

David at Senexus provided outstanding service and support for the placement of Mum into an Aged Care home for her next chapter. He was very supportive in the explanation of the process, was very knowledgeable about recent changes and what was required and his personal relationships with his preferred facilities allowed us to secure a room quickly and of high quality to meet Mum's needs. A great experience and I have no hesitation in providing this recommendation.

We contacted Senexus when the time came to place my husband into care. It was a great experience to have them do all the paperwork and sorting through the documents to find a suitable place. David kept us informed all the time with calls or emails. My husband was finally placed in a nice facility. We were told by David all the costs upfront before we placed him. I cannot recommend the company enough ....the stress of having to place someone is enough but David took the our stress away with that part of the journey.. I recommend Senexus to all that find themselves in a sad and difficult position.... Julie

I cannot speak more highly about David and Hilda at Senexus. My husband and I had an elderly relative that needed aged care and we had no idea where to start. My first conversation with David put my mind at ease and I felt that there was light at the end of the tunnel. We then worked with Hilda who made the process easy and walked us through what we needed to do. Our relative is now happily in a wonderful aged care facility. It happened quickly and efficiently and I do not know how we would have done this without David and Hilda’s expertise and guidance. If you are looking to place a relative into aged care, please do not attempt to do this without the support and knowledge of Senexus. I cannot thank them enough for what they have done for us.

We have been trying to navigate this minefield called aged care for quite sometime. A friend directed us to David at Senexus and I can say that he was able to deliver what he promised in a very short time. Mum is very happy where she has been placed and we are nothing but grateful for the assistance David has provided to our family. I would recommend anyone who are dealing with trying to get elderly parents into aged care to reach out to David and he will guide you with compassion and empathy though this process.

I have very recently been fortunate and will forever be very Grateful to David and his Senexus Team for all that they have done in seeking care for both Mum and Dad . They have both had Crisis care needed quickly as their home care was great until it wasn’t !! It was a very difficult time as I live in Port Lincoln and they were in Whyalla . I was travelling back and forth like a crazy person and doing care , work commitments and Dad up in the hospital as he wasn’t able to go back to his home . Then one call to David and the mountain of Aged care anxiety was lifted 🙏 He negotiated the process so beautifully and the support was amazing . They are both in a wonderful care facility in Adelaide together with nothing short of a Safe , social happy spot for them both to reside . Thankyou David and Senexus for all that you have done in a quick efficient successful placement for our family . I would highly recommend their service .

Senexus provided an excellent service in assisting with my father’s financial assessment and residential aged care placement. Their knowledge of the aged care system, clear communication, and professional guidance helped simplify what felt like a complex and overwhelming process. David took the time to understand my father’s needs, provided well-considered options, and ensured we felt supported at each stage. I would highly recommend their services to anyone seeking professional assistance with aged care placement and financial services. Thank you

Experience When You Need It. The challenge of deciphering Aged Care is no mean feat. It’s nigh impossible for the uninitiated to interpret, understand or abide by. Even with sound commercial skills, it’s a mountain of work to conquer and navigate successfully. Our family were fortunate to have David & Senexus help when it was needed. David’s sound knowledge matched with the experience needed to make things happen was invaluable. Within 16 hrs we had an option, a fantastic one at that, and within 24hrs from inspection we had a guaranteed placement. That was something we weren’t expecting in a tight, tight SA market. I couldn’t imagine a sane person not taking on the option of a professional representative, such as Senexus. It was the best investment we’ve made for the well being of a parent. Five Stars

With the guidance, professionalism and care from David, we were able to find our Mum a caring, supportive and luxurious care facility for her. We are so relieved that she is now in a safe, high quality, beautifully run Aged care facility by a very caring environment for her needs. If you need guidance or information on an ageing family member, please talk to David. Our lives are so much more wholesome because of his reassurance. Thank you thank you from the bottom of our hearts!

David and the Senexus Team recently supported us as we navigated a time of crisis in our family, resulting in my parents-in-law both being placed together in an exemplary residential aged care facility. To say that our engagement with David made a huge difference to our feelings of uncertainty, worry and despair at this time is a significant understatement. From our very first engagement with David, our interactions via phone, email and face to face have validated him and his experience as thoroughly professional, incredibly knowledgeable, compassionate, organised, and with a wide and helpful network of contacts, all of whom expressed their positive experience of working with him. The fact that we had pre-empted our need for his services and retained him two years ago was a huge help to us when the inevitable crisis occurred. As a result of this preparation, within 1 business day David had sent out applications to 10 nursing homes in our area, one of which eventually resulted in permanent placement for both individuals. Nothing short of a miracle in the current climate of way too many people needing beds and way to few beds available. As an aside, please do not expect miracles of aged care brokers. The situation has never been more difficult in this sector and everyone in it is under significant stress. Despite this obvious pressure, David remained calm, supportive, hopeful, affirming and was a clear and helpful communicator over the whole process. Whilst you can expect these situations to be distressing, unsettling and uncomfortable, the relief of being able to allow someone to steer us through the process was profound. We are deeply grateful to David and his team for supporting us all through this challenging time and highly recommend Senexus to anyone who knows they are looking down the barrel of this scenario for themselves or their loved ones.

A huge thank you to David at Senexus for helping my family during a very difficult time. My father Harry has dementia, and finding the right care for him felt overwhelming—until David stepped in. He guided us through the entire process step by step with genuine care, clarity, and professionalism. His knowledge and support made an emotional and complex journey so much easier to navigate. Thanks to David, Dad has now settled into a wonderful new home where he’s receiving the care he needs. We couldn’t be happier with the outcome. I highly recommend David’s services—well worth it for the peace of mind alone.

Engaging Senexus and David to help us through the Aged Care system was the best decision we made. David's explanation and help meant we were able to make the right decisions for mum.
We engaged with David Coluccio at Senexis to help us navigate the complex process of transitioning our mother into an aged care facility. David has a very warm and supportive relationship with his clients, he’s very experienced and well known throughout the aged care community. Thanks to David, this has been a much less stressful experience.

Felt very comfortable with David. Thank you David so much.

    - Luisa (63), Plympton Park, 2023
  • Engaging the services of David at Senexus in preparation for my parents needing aged care was one of my very best decisions. I live in Melbourne and am the only child for my two 90+ parents in Adelaide.
    Three months later mum was hospitalised with doctor’s advising that she could not return safely to the family home. David immediately initiated the search for a permanent placement and within 5 days he had 2 prospective locations. It was a great relief for me to be able to concentrate on the well being of my mum and dad, whilst Senexus lined up prospective aged care homes and we could simply choose the one that suited best.
    I would recommend David and Senexus, without hesitation.

    - Merrick (69), Melbourne, 2025
  • Without the help of Senexus and, in particular, David Coluccio, I’m sure I would still be swimming in a vortex of forms and physically visiting multiple care homes. With David’s help, in just one week, I had a realistic list of care homes to visit and within the next week I was making arrangements to shift my mother into the most gorgeous care home. His experience and knowledge was obvious from our first meeting. Needless to say, I and my mother are very grateful for the services that Senexus offers.
