Aged Care The Shire

Why consider aged care in The Shire

The Sutherland Shire, commonly know as ‘the Shire’, is an area at the southern edge of Sydney bordered by the spectacular Royal National Park. It incorporates suburbs on the south bank of the Georges River – such as Caringbah, Sylvania Waters and Como – as well as localities around Port Hacking – Gymea Bay, Bundeena. It is also home to the bushland walks of Engadine and Heathcote, and the ocean surf of Cronulla beach. Its proximity to these natural features makes the Shire particularly popular with seniors, and so there are a variety of options for nursing homes and aged care in Sutherland Shire. The major public Sutherland Hospital is centrally located within this region.
