Beautiful property, nice facilities but if you have family members here DO NOT leave your family jewelry or valuables with them. Along with several others We have had family heirlooms stolen from workers at this facility! We were notified by Shell Point but nothing was done to help our family recover our stolen items. Rather than building more multi million dollar high rises try paying your CNAs a better hourly wage so they do not feel the need to steal from the residents?

Beautiful property, nice facilities but if you have family members here DO NOT leave your family jewelry or valuables with them. Along with several others We have had family heirlooms stolen from workers at this facility! We were notified by Shell Point but nothing was done to help our family recover our stolen items. Rather than building more multi million dollar high rises try paying your CNAs a better hourly wage so they do not feel the need to steal from the residents? Clear bags, random employee bag checks whatever it is, you need to come up with a plan to do better Shell Point. It’s unacceptable and upsetting for the amount of money families spend to put their love ones in your care. They shouldn’t be robbed!!!!

Shell point is the best nursing home all de patient is comfortable I love shell point

I was with my Parents Visiting my Mom's Cousin

Amazing care and a great place for your loved ones to stay and get the best care possible. Amazing nursing care and nurses treat residents like they are there own family!

We’ve been visiting for a dozen years. What a wonderful place for retirees of all ages. So much to do it’s difficult to decide which options to fill your day, and that includes Independent Living, Assisted and Nursing. Great folks leading the organization, workers and residents. Such a fun, safe place.

Great place, great staff, and inviting.

My name is Marvin with MWR Movers we love moving new residents in shell point they are always nice and polite
