Shelly Beach is a home, not a purpose built facility. We are a small family working together to give the best quality of care for our residents, which we believe is the most important thing at this stage in their lives. We make sure that they are not just well looked after but cherished each day. Our focus is to ensure they don't only just smile each day, but feel loved and appreciated in each moment.

We have a lovely outdoor area with raised flower and vege gardens, walkways, and a seating area for our family visits, summer BBQ's, and Christmas parties.

Interests & activities

We have an varied Activity Programme organised by our Diversional Therapist after assessing each of our residents individual needs.
Activities can include daily walks (weather permitting), newspapers, magazines and books, gardening, exercises to music, karaoke, arts and crafts, pet therapy, bowling, ball games and bingo.
