Key Review Excerpts
“The staff truly cared about my mother. On Sundays they would get her dressed for Church and my father would pick her up. Everything is well organized.”
“I have found the Home of the Good Shepherd to be an excellent placement for my sister, who is living with dementia. Under the direction of Kristen Cashman, the staff is warm, caring, kind and ever patient with the residents.”
“It is so clear the level of investment and attention having such a small facility allows care staff to give to each resident- they are not just a number and a bed, they are a member of a family unit.”
