Medical Staff
On-site physicians mean better care for our residents. While it is rare for most retirement communities to have a single on-site staff physician, Shell Point employs five! Working exclusively with our residents provides our doctors the opportunity to spend over three times as long with a patient as the average physician. This gives time for a complete understanding of each patient's unique situation.
