Hostel

This hostel in Cowell is a residential aged care hostel in the small Eyre Peninsula port town of Cowell on Franklin Harbour, providing low-level residential accommodation and personal care support for older adults in this isolated gulf township known for its jade mining and mud crab fishing. The hostel enables older residents of the Franklin Harbour district to receive residential care close to their community and families without relocating to Whyalla or Port Augusta for aged care. Cowell's distinctive position on the shores of Franklin Harbour, its jade-green waters, and the quiet agricultural character of the eastern Eyre Peninsula provide the backdrop for aged care in this very remote South Australian community.
