I couldn’t verify a metro Adelaide-specific count for how many people receive home care from the information available here. The closest current national figure I found is that in 2024–25 about 293,000 people were using home care in Australia overall.

What that means

That national number does not tell us the metro Adelaide total, because the source I found only gives an Australia-wide figure rather than a breakdown for metropolitan Adelaide. So any exact Adelaide estimate would need a South Australia or local-area aged-care dataset.

Closest useful context

The Australian Institute of Health and Welfare’s aged care data shows home care is a major part of the aged-care system nationally, alongside residential care and support at home. But it does not, in the result available here, isolate metro Adelaide specifically.

Best one-line answer

For metro Adelaide, I can’t confirm an exact number from the available source; nationally, about 293,000 people were using home care in 2024–25.
