"For a small town, this will have to do. It is not a very big establishment, but it is nice. The grounds are kept up and the building is built solidly. The staff is not very friendly and many of them are not trained well enough to take care of the elderly. I was not impressed by their service and how they treat people. "

"My grandpa became ill and began undergoing care at West Point Living Center. This was a very sad time for our family. We first saw the facilities and were skeptical. The building was in decent condition but you could tell that it was a very old building. Also, the rooms were pretty small without windows and residents had to share a room with another person. It doesn't have the nicest facilities your going to find. However, what it lacked in facilites it made up for in people which is the more important of the two in my opinion. Although, I wasn't there all the time, when I was there they treated my grandpa with respect and kindness. When he passed, I could see the sadness that the caregivers had and that convinced me that he was in good care. Overall the experience was as good as it could have been. "

"We put my mother-in-law in Hooper Care Center. We are okay with it, and it is adequate. The staff is very friendly. They are doing very well. Mom has a roommate. It is small and we could hardly get her chair beside her bed with a little table. My sister-in-law was really upset that it is so small. My mother-in-law has dementia and we have to put her in a secured unit. She’s only been there about three weeks now. They take her to some physical therapy, and they try to keep her busy. They would have her folding towels, and she cuts and makes quilt walks. I will say the activities are nice. I like that it is close to all of us. "

"Good Shepherd Lutheran Community provides a very pleasant and well-trained and well-experienced staff who are all about the personal care of their residents. From the first time I entered the facility to visit my grandmother, the staff were always asking the residents if they are in need and always checking up on their health conditions. The truth is that these facilities must deal with a wide variety of different conditions or diagnoses and medical problems, and it was quite obvious that the staff there were very knowledgeable about their residents. As for the decor and feeling of the home, there is plenty of free space for everyone to do their daily activities, all in very nice and clean rooms. The staff also were very involved in the residents' activities which created a positive atmosphere and attitude about the home."
