Good Shepherd Lodge in Calen is a small residential aged care facility in the rural Pioneer Valley township of Calen, 100 km south of Mackay on the Bruce Highway, providing residential care for older adults of the Pioneer Valley's sugarcane farming and cattle-grazing communities. The lodge operates with a Christian ethos reflected in its Good Shepherd name, providing compassionate residential care for older residents of this quiet agricultural valley who wish to remain close to the community where they have farmed and lived. Calen's position at the southern end of the Mackay wheatbelt provides a distinctive tropical farming backdrop for aged care in rural North Queensland.
