Good Shepherd Homes is a vibrant and welcoming community designed for adults age 55 and older, offering a wide range of living options and services that foster a sense of engagement and comfort. Established in 1963 as Good Shepherd Lutheran Home, this community began with a vision for providing Graceful Living to seniors seeking an enriching and supportive environment in retirement. Through the years, Good Shepherd has thoughtfully expanded its offerings to cater to a variety of preferences and needs, now encompassing patio homes, senior apartments with or without assisted living services, home health care available to those within a 30-mile radius, and specialized memory care.
At Good Shepherd Homes, residents have the opportunity to personalize their living arrangements according to their unique lifestyle preferences. Whether choosing a private apartment for a more secluded living experience or engaging in the dynamic social environment, individuals find spaces tailored to their comfort. Residents are free to enjoy meeting neighbors while picking up mail, share coffee and conversation in communal areas, or participate in a diverse calendar of activities—fostering new friendships and ongoing connections within the community. For those who cherish their privacy, each apartment serves as a tranquil sanctuary, providing all the conveniences of home without the worries of maintenance, repairs, or household chores.
The community places a strong emphasis on making daily life enjoyable and stress-free, offering a variety of amenities and services to support both independence and well-being. Maintenance needs are handled by dedicated staff, allowing residents to focus on pursuing their hobbies and interests. Nutrition Services at Good Shepherd Homes enhances the dining experience with a variety of catered event options, both for tenants and their visiting family members. For added convenience, the “Lettuce Shop For You” service is available, stocking staple grocery items for purchase by apartment tenants—ideal for those who find it challenging to get to the store or simply need a few last-minute baking ingredients.
