I am a resident of Good Shepherd Retirement Community. I've lived here for the past five years. It's nice and it's close to stores and the hospital. My doctors' offices are near this place too. I can go to a bunch of different places out there, a bunch of different restaurants too. I like the people. They're young and really nice. They always provide interpreters for me, so it keeps me in the loop of what's going on and that helps me communicate with them better. They have an exercise room, a community center, a place to walk around, and places where we can park our car. I have a kitchen in my own place so I can cook instead of eating out. They have good activities here. There are several buildings in the independent living part. It's a really good place.

Good Shepherd Community has cottages, and it has independent living, assisted living, and nursing home. I was impressed with the attitude of the residents, and they all seemed happy and pleased with accommodations. They offered several different levels of living. It was the most economical place I found.

My mom is in Good Shepard Retirement Community. The experience has been good. It is a locked facility, and you need a key to get in. They serve them one meal a day. It is convenient. I will recommend it.

We were very impressed with Good Shepard; they had a lot of amenities, and the people and staff were very nice. The rooms were larger than the ones we've looked at. The meals plans could be improved.

Good Shepherd Community was a lovely place. The only drawback was that it did not have nursing care. The food was good. Everything about the place was OK. The rooms were nice. They only have six rooms with walk-in showers which is what my friend wanted, but they were all occupied at that time. The staff was very nice. For activities, they had bingo and other things to do.

My relative was at Good Shepherd. The staff we interacted with was okay. The rooms and dining room looked fair.

I am in Good Shepherd Community. My room is very nice. It is smaller than where I live, but it is OK. The place is very clean.

I have visited Good Shepherd; it had several buildings in one place. The biggest thing I liked was that everything was right there. They actually had a lake out there.
They served one meal a day which is what I like on that. In the morning you have to get up and push your button in the bathroom. By 9 o’clock they’re going to be calling you; if you don’t answer the phone, they are going to be coming to your door to check on you.
The dining area was very nice and clean. It’s a safe community, and the room had a full-sized refrigerator.

Good Shepherd is very good, and that's where I placed my father. He has been in their independent living facility for 5 years, and we just moved him to their assisted living last November. Our experience in the independent living for 5 years is good. The staff is very good. They have activities like bingo, they have a singing group and dominoes, and my father enjoys some of their activities.

I live in the Good Shepherd Retirement Community, and it is very nice. I love the people here, and the food is wonderful. I couldn't be happier. The people that own this place are very nice. I can't say anything bad. We have a transportation driver with a Cadillac and a new Chrysler, so we have good rides to the doctor's office, the grocery stores, and wherever else we want to go. Our chef has just the best things that you could eat and want. He is anxious to please us, and he does. He is just wonderful. I toured all of the buildings to see which one I wanted to go to, and Rhineheart -- in my opinion -- is the best one I could afford, and I couldn't be happier. There are 19 apartments on each floor of the building, and we are just like a wonderful family. We have parties all the time, and it's just wonderful. I have a one-bedroom apartment, and none of them have studios. We have a one bedroom and a two-bedroom. I am happy here. It is cozy, and I have a balcony out from the living room overlooking these beautiful pine trees. This is just the absolute best that you could imagine, and to me it is.

Overall, we have been satisfied with this retirement community. The rooms feel like small studio apartments which are often partitioned with portable screens. There is also a bathroom with hand rails near the toilet for ease of use. The library has a large selection of books with large print, and they have several activities throughout the week, such as classes, exercises, and art activities. I cannot speak to the quality of these programs since my family members rarely participated, but I do know that my Grandmother and Great Aunt enjoy the bingo. My great aunt speaks highly of the cafeteria, of which she appreciates the flavor of the food and the occasional themed meal. She does most of her socializing through the cafeteria. The staff has always been friendly and supportive, and the facilities have been clean. Our biggest complaint was when the cable company placed new receptors on the televisions which caused my Great Aunt's television picture to become distorted and wavy. It took several weeks for Good Shepard to coordinate repairs with the cable company. Other than that, all parties have been satisfied with Good Shepard Retirement Community, and both my Grandmother and Great Aunt are pleased with the amenities and the social atmosphere this retirement community fosters.
