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.

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.
