Good Shepherd has provided the very best care for my father. While it has been a difficult time placing him in a care facility, knowing he is well-cared for and happy is a true blessing. The aides respond within minutes and provide attentive care, while the medical team listens closely and ensures all needs are met. The support extends to every department—from the nutritious food to the supportive social workers and excellent physical therapy team. Knowing my father is happy and well-cared for gives our family immense peace of mind. I cannot say enough good things about the staff and facilities here!
Having just spent 67 days at The Good Shepherd, I have to say, it has been a long time, if ever, that I have had the opportunity to spend an extended period of time with such a group of positive people. Folks that enjoy themselves on a daily basis, that are not unhappy to be there, that are joking, laughing and sharing their positivity with us residents, all the while getting their work done efficiently and without drama. In every department, the staff was there not only to take care and help, but also to answer questions, educate, guide and show you ways to help yourself heal and live a better life. I came into The Good Shepherd in pretty rough shape and left a much healthier being. There are a number of people there that go above and beyond their job description and have shown me kindness and actions that warms my heart to this day and always will. I miss all of them already. This is a very nice facility and I would highly recommend it. ..... A. J. B.
I have nothing but positive things to say. The care and love the staff showed to my sister was more than I ever expected. My sister was in different departments and received wonderful care from each and every one. She was always clean and well fed, which was something she could no longer do on her own. She was involved in activities that they offered and her life was positively impacted for the year and a half that she was there. Since I lived out of state it provided me comfort to know the kind of care she was receiving. Their communication for any issue or medication change was outstanding. I highly recommend the Good Shepherd.
After a lengthy hospital stay, we moved our dad to The Good Shepherd for physical and speech therapy. The entire staff is knowledgeable, caring and attentive. We have been very pleased with his progress and he has gained back enough strength to return to his assisted living facility.
The staff at The Good Shepherd is made up of some of the best people I have ever met. They were quick to call with any updates on my Dad's condition and always treated him and us like family. My Dad (Ken) had very complicated care and they always went above and beyond. We got to know many aides, nurses, and respiratory therapist by name and looked forward to seeing them. My Dad had to be transferred to the hospital a couple times from complications from his illnesses and anytime we stopped by his room to grab something for him, the entire staff asked for updates and expressed genuine concern. Unfortunately, my Dad had to be put on hospice and he passed peacefully surrounded by both his immediate family and his new found Good Shepherd family. I cannot thank them enough for their support during such a difficult time. It was so heartwarming to hear their stories about my Dad and even shed a few tears together. I have recommended Good Shepherd to anyone that has concerns with sending a loved one to a nursing home (especially one with ventilator care). You cannot ask for better care. I want to deeply thank the whole staff that had any hand in my Dad's care but specifically want to thank Heidi, Darcy, and Kayleigh. They always came and checked on him, even if they weren't assigned to him that day. The quality of care here is top notch!
