Levels of Care
Independent Living
Choose from beautiful apartments that allow you to come and go as you please!
Enhanced Assisted Living
This gentle midpoint in care lies between assisted living and skilled nursing. Here, residents can “age in place” with a more personal level of care.
Assisted Living
Created to serve adults who cannot or choose not to live independently. We offer a little bit of extra help to fully enjoy life, including medication management, meals, and housekeeping as needed.
Skilled Nursing
Our skilled nursing staff of RNs, LPNs, and certified nurses’ aides (CNAs) are among the area’s finest. We provide 24-hour personal care and medical attention.
Short Stay Rehabilitation
Good Shepherd has long been recognized as a leader in therapy service. Patients who require rehab after surgery may take advantage of private rooms and dining areas as they rehabilitate.
Respite Rooms
Respite Care provides care in our skilled nursing facility to someone who is normally cared for in the community. Respite stays are prearranged with set admission and discharge dates, and are limited to 30 consecutive days.
Our professional nursing team provides services and supervision 24 hours a day.
Outpatient PT, OT and Speech Therapy
Available for our independent living residents as well as the general community. Offering personalized care while promoting strength, independence and confidence for the older adult population.
