Shell Point is a 700-acre nonprofit life-care campus at Punta Rassa with about 2,500 residents, full continuum health care, and a Gordon Lewis eighteen that the public can play.
The official July 2024 fact sheet lists a nonprofit Life Care / CCRC owned by The Christian and Missionary Alliance Foundation, Inc., established 1968, 700 acres, 2,500 residents, 1,100 employees, average resident age 74. Independent living counts: The Island (including Palm Acres) 772, The Woodlands 343, Eagles Preserve 110, The Estuary 73, The Enclave 35 (1,333 independent units entered as built_homes). Assisted living and skilled nursing are on campus (King's Crown, The Arbor, The Springs, Larsen Health Center). Amenities on the fact sheet: LifeQuest Aquatic Center (99,000-gallon recreation pool with two lap lanes plus 23,000-gallon therapy pool), fitness centers, lighted tennis, miles of trails, Tribby Arts Center, multiple dining rooms open to the public, salon/spa, dog park, free boat dockage with power and water, and direct deep-water Gulf access. Shell Point Golf Club is a renovated 18-hole Gordon Lewis course with platinum paspalum greens, grass range, practice green, pro shop and snack bar; residents and guests receive discounted rates, so the course is treated as public/pay-to-play rather than a bundled club. This is a life-care contract campus, not a conventional HOA. Demographics are ZIP 33908 (area-level; campus average age is 74).
