Melaleuca Court Nursing Home

Melaleuca Court Nursing Home in Minlaton is a residential nursing facility in the central Yorke Peninsula town of Minlaton — South Australia's self-proclaimed 'Grain and Poultry Capital' — providing 24-hour nursing care for older adults of the Yorke Peninsula's agricultural and coastal communities. The home serves the farming and fishing community of the Yorke Peninsula, enabling older residents of this rich agricultural peninsula to receive residential care without travelling to Adelaide, maintaining connections to the communities and landscapes they have farmed throughout their lives. The melaleuca (paperbark) trees of the Yorke Peninsula's saltlake and coastal heath areas give the facility its name, reflecting the distinctive flora of this peninsula between the Spencer Gulf and Gulf St Vincent.
