Carinity Shalom is situated in a prime location in North Rockhampton overlooking a picturesque lagoon filled with an abundance of river wildlife and birds. This natural lagoon abounds with birds, turtles and river wildlife, so it’s a pure joy for nature enthusiasts. We have walking trails, seating areas, a barbeque and gazebo beside the lagoon for the enjoyment of the residents and their families; and for the many bird watchers who regularly come to visit. Providing quality care for older people in Central Queensland since 1985, we have a range of facilities for residents to enjoy such as the community hall and multipurpose activity centre. An array of activities and events are organised onsite, so there’s always plenty to do at Carinity Shalom, such as crafts, indoor bowls, board games, concerts, fashion shows and other entertainment. We also offer retirement lifestyle living onsite, enabling couples to remain connected if one partner requires a higher level of care.

This facility is very well set up!! Good vibes here. Staff here have so far been lovely, and treat elderlies kindly.
Do not send your loved ones here if you value their wellbeing and happiness. Staff treat the residents horribly, I even witnessed one carer getting aggressive towards a resident because she was having trouble with incontinence.
