EMBRACING Healthy Living

Wellness is a major focus for enjoying life to its fullest at Shell Point. Through its innovative program called LifeQuest, Shell Point promotes personal wellness and community involvement through six specific dimensions of wellness: community and social, physical, spiritual, emotional, educational, and natural environment. This whole-person wellness model is designed to encourage each individual to challenge themselves to set goals for a more balanced life. With that, residents have access to the resources, support systems, programs, and services that allow them the freedom to be as active or engaged as they choose.

Additionally, the cornerstone of Shell Point’s unique lifestyle is its signature Lifecare product that guarantees future long-term care, starting from the moment you move in throughout the years to come. From independent living, assisted living, skilled nursing, memory care, and more, those who utilize Shell Point’s Health System benefit from an on-site team of health professionals including primary care physicians, nurse practitioners, specialty physicians, two state-of-the-art medical centers with lab and x-ray services, a full-service pharmacy, and a rehabilitation center.

With complete access to this full continuum of robust healthcare services, residents can choose from a variety of health and wellness resources, all within Shell Point. Like many of the upscale amenities and innovative programs available throughout the community, these wellness services enhance the lives of those who call Shell Point home.

For more than five decades, Shell Point’s unparalleled setting, resortstyle features, and advanced healthcare services have made the community more than a pleasant place to retire. They’ve made it a place where you can enjoy the life you’ve dreamed of and the one you worked hard to achieve. A place where spontaneous get-togethers, outdoor recreation, and exciting adventure create your ideal retirement— this is Shell Point.

After retiring to Shell Point in 2005, Augusta Crane was searching for ways to fill the day and follow her heart. “One day, I stopped in the pottery studio, and as soon as I got my hands on clay, I knew I had found my passion,” she exclaims.

Today, her developed talent has launched her into the local fine arts community where she has displayed and sold her floral-themed pottery. Like many Shell Point artists, Augusta looks forward to the completion of the Tribby Arts Center, a 44,000-square-foot building dedicated to visual and performing arts. Scheduled for completion in fall 2020, the new facility will offer expanded and first-time spaces for artists and musicians to work, as well as educational programming, concert series, and more.

Another resident eager for Tribby Arts Center to open is skilled photographer Don Adams. Since moving to Shell Point, Don has been an active member of the Photo Club, even winning a first-place prize in the community’s annual photo show and contest. He loves to translate his eye for design into a template for extraordinary photography, capturing dynamic, eye-catching scenes, and vibrant colors with his images.

When he’s not holding a camera, Don jokes that he’s usually recommending Shell Point to friends and family. “It’s hard to describe to people the level of activity, amount of clubs and classes available here. In fact, we’re more active at Shell Point than ever before,” shares Don. “But, the best part is that when we get older, we know that we will be taken care of here. We don’t have to worry about our future, and that’s wonderful.”
