Eventide was founded in 1929, to give elder Charters Towers and district residents a comfortable place for long term aged care. Previously, elderly residents with dementia or high-care needs were placed in the local hospital or moved south to Brisbane. It was hoped that being close to home and family would provide a happier aged care. 

Extensive renovations were done to the facilities from 1986 to 1990, and more were completed in the 2000s.

Eventide is still operational today, offering 110 beds with 24-hour care.
