About Us
Our journey
It all started over 45 years ago...
Established in 1979, Crowley has grown from a traditional retirement village to a dynamic full service aged care provider. We are named after Jim Crowley of Ballina, who in 1976 donated land to the Ballina Parish of the Catholic Church to construct accommodation for the aged.
Our residential site is set on 25 acres of picturesque waterfront property at 154 Cherry Street, Ballina.
Crowley Care is a ministry of St Francis Xavier Parish, Ballina, on behalf of the Trustees of the Roman Catholic Church for the Diocese of Lismore.
Our three service areas are:
- Luxury Independent Living apartments and Independent Living villas;
- Home Care services;
- Residential aged care.
At Crowley we have:
