Nestled in the south of Cleveland County, North Carolina, lies a city named after a hero. Isaac Shelby was an important figure in the Revolutionary War battle of Kings Mountain. Being named after a hero means that there is a lot to live up to, but the county seat, Shelby, does it. 

The city is filled with many great attractions that would make anyone want to live there:

• For those who like the outdoors, you can visit one of our parks: Shelby Park, Holly Oak Park, and Hanna Park.
• If you’d prefer golf, then you’ll want to visit the Royster Memorial Golf Course.
• Then again, if music, art, and culture is more your scene, you’ll want to check out Shelby’s Historic District.
• There is a library if you love to read, take classes, or use the computers.
• Are you a baseball fan? Then, you’ll love knowing we are the home of the American Legion World Series each year.

The town also has walking trails, a theater, live music, a carousel, and more. 

With all that the city has to offer, then, it is no wonder that it is home to more than 21,000 people, according to the latest US Census Bureau information. Of these, 22% are over the age of 65. That’s 4,620 people in the area who are at least 65. 

As the city’s population ages, more and more people reach the age where it becomes hard to live alone. For many, the idea of moving to a nursing home in Shelby, NC, is not ideal. With all that Shelby has to offer, why would anyone want to move? With Visiting Angels of Gastonia, you can get the help you need to age in place, so that you can stay in the place you are the most comfortable: your home!
