The Best Continuing Care Retirement Communities Communities in Tioga County, NY

"Good Shepherd Village was a good fit for me and my husband. The staff was very pleasant and just was a good fit for us. The room was very pleasant. Stores are close by, and they take you to the doctors. They do the basics, usually what other places do. It's more out of the city. It's out in the country, but it's close to Wegmans grocery store, which they take you to, but you make an appointment. I saw all three levels. There's a nursing home. First, we're going into independent, and then if we need other levels, we can go forward. The facade of the facility was very good, and it was clean."

"The Good Shepherd Fairview Home was my aunt's first choice because she had been to Good Shepherd before, after hospitalization, for a short term stay, and she loved it there. However, they had no openings for her this time. It was an excellent facility. The staff was wonderful. They were very enthusiastic, caring, and concerned about her. They were always encouraging her to do things, and getting involved in things. It really promoted her recovery. They had a book library, and they had a library that came around to the residents, and they had a regular library that you could go to, too. And my aunt is an avid reader, so that was good for her. She could have her cat there. That was a tremendous advantage, and that's one thing she loved about them. They had bingo and games, arts, cards, and putting together puzzles. I saw the food, I saw her eat very well, and she's a picky eater. The cost was really decent, it was less than a lot of other facilities."
