Good Shepherd Home

The facility was much larger than most we had visited. It had multiple wings, which was nice, depending on the need of the individual who would be staying there. The staff was friendly and always visible. There were nightly programs to be active in and a large dining hall and lounge area for the residents to lounge in. There was a hair salon and other amenities that most other assisted living homes did not have.Additionally, the facility was easily located on the edge of town, allowing it to be in a more quiet neighborhood and easy access from the highway. The facility itself was in great condition and looks to have been remodeled recently in addition to what looked like a newly added wing. Overall, the facility was more than we expected and was great. There were plenty of people there, making it feel more like an apartment complex than a small nursing home type environment.

Many of the nurses were extremely friendly and it was evident that they loved working with the elderly. However, the facility did hire several high school students to work in the cafeteria, janitorial and as helpers to the nurses. Many of these students were very unprofessional and made my grandmother feel uncomfortable. The facility itself did feel very much like a nursing home, since then they have added apartments with assisted living options. My grandmother was extremely relieved to go home after her 3-4 month stay.
