I visited this facility

We toured the memory care unit at Good Shepherd Home. It's beautiful and homey. The room is fine, typical of a memory unit room. The staff was wonderful. They were very helpful in answering all of our questions, showed us the entire facility, and gave us some ideas on some other options since we already knew my father-in-law wasn't keen on going to a nursing home. The dining room was nice. We looked at the menu. It looked good, but we didn't see any food. We weren't there during mealtime. Their choir was practicing for their Christmas concert. They took us to the library. They have a very small movie thing where you can take DVDs that are right there to watch. We saw the exercise and gym area and the small pool area. They're all very impressive.

I am a friend or relative of a current/past resident

My parents are in Good Shepherd Home. It was good overall. The staff is very good. They have a beauty shop. My parents loved the food in the beginning. Then they switched vendors, and the food was horrible. My father passed, and we moved my mother into independent living because she could cook for herself, and she's eighty-six. I liked my parents' immediate caregivers; it was the higher-ups we have difficulty with.

My grandfather is at The Cascades at Good Shepherd Home, and it's great. He has Alzheimer's, so he's in the Alzheimer's unit. I'm quite pleased with the unit itself in general. Their food wasn't bad, it was tolerable, and he seems to like it. Prior to Covid, we were very pleased with everything, then Covid happened and everybody's just trying to do the best that they can. There's been a huge outbreak at Good Shepherd with Covid-19 amongst residents and staff, and it was kinda why Good Shepherd was not an option to put my grandmother at because I do not want to chance her catching it. The facility is very nice. They have a church there for residents to attend. Their activities team is very much involved and their staff is very much hands on. I can't really say anything bad, they've taken great care of my grandfather. The only thing that I noticed was they tend to mix a lot of their residents' clothing. The residents share socks and stuff like that, and it gets mixed around. Other than that, I've been really pleased with Good Shepherd. As far as my grandmother, the only reason why we didn't go there is obviously the Covid outbreak there, and she's not quite at the level of care that I feel Good Shepherd Home is. My grandmother works better in assisted living community versus an actual nursing home setting. They had activities. I don't know about now, but every time we would go there to visit my grandpa, they were playing bingo and they were doing arts and crafts. Their activities team is really hands on and very active. They have their residents do a lot of things as best they can. There were nights where they would have musicians come in and sing and residents would come out and sit with them and sing too, and we would go up there and hang out with my grandpa. They were really good prior to Covid. Covid has really changed everything.

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.
