Pinangba Star of the Sea Elders Village is a residential aged care facility in Pinangba, Queensland, operated by BlueCare, the aged care arm of the not-for-profit UnitingCare organisation. BlueCare has been providing care across Queensland for over 70 years, offering supportive communities where residents can continue to enjoy what they love. The 'Elders Village' designation and use of the Aboriginal place name 'Pinangba' suggest a cultural focus on Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander residents and communities. As a BlueCare facility it reflects the values of the Uniting Church in Australia, with dementia support services also available across the BlueCare network.

St John's Community Care

1.8 km away

71 Douglas St, Thursday Island QLD 4875, Australia

This organisation is a not-for-profit charity providing a broad range of community services across Queensland, with a strong focus on helping elderly individuals and people with disabilities remain living independently in their own homes. They offer extensive home care support, including personal care, domestic assistance, and social activities. For those needing a short break, they provide respite care in comfortable cottage settings located in Gordonvale, Innisfail, and Mareeba, which are designed to feel like a home away from home rather than a traditional aged care facility. The culture is inclusive and client-oriented, valuing individual needs and cultural backgrounds, and they have been operating for nearly three decades.
