Uniting Elanora Shellharbour

Uniting Elanora is a wonderfully vibrant aged care residence in the Illawarra beachside town of Shellharbour. Modern and well appointed, it’s designed to mirror the comforts of home, with round-the-clock support. You’ll have the added reassurance of full-time nursing care, and knowing our caring and supportive staff are always close at hand.  We want your life here to feel no different to being at home. That’s why we follow a ‘household living’ model that sees you live with no more than 20 residents. You’ll have the power to decide the what, when and how of your daily life – including the activities you take part in, the meals you enjoy, and even the times you wake and retire. And living in smaller households makes it easier for you to strike up friendships, especially over a game of bingo or rummy.

The Department of Health, Disability and Ageing assess the quality of care at all government-funded aged care homes. Based on these assessments, each home receives a Star Rating as a simple way of showing information about the quality of care they provide and how they compare to others. Read more about Star Ratings.

If you pay a refundable accommodation deposit or a refundable accommodation contribution, they may be subject to retention. Any daily accommodation payment you make may also be subject to indexation. Learn more about aged care home costs and fees.

Specialisations with a check mark symbol are verified by the Department of Health, Disability and Ageing under the 1997 Aged Care Act. After the initial verification, these specialisations are reviewed every 3 years. Read more about how the specialisation verification process works.
