De Good Shephard Senior Living Inc. stands in Mint Hill, North Carolina, as a small, family-like care home offering different types of senior living from independent living to assisted living, memory care, and short-term respite stays, so people can choose a private room, shared room, or couple's suite, all in a safe and home-like place with a welcoming feel that mixes traditional and modern touches. Dorothy, the owner, along with two nurses and other caring staff, provide 24/7 personalized care focused on medical needs, daily living help like bathing, dressing, meals, medication management, and incontinence care, and they always keep the rooms bright and cheery, aiming to make each resident feel like family. De Good Shephard holds awards for its friendly, joyful staff and strong activity programs, and residents can join in arts, games, music, live entertainment, seniors' outings, spiritual services covering multiple faiths, and Live Well programs, so there's always something for both social and quiet times, all monitored for safety.
Medical and wellness services are a main part, with nursing staff always present, physical and occupational therapy available, and the team working with outside providers for doctor or pharmacy visits and arranging medical transportation as needed, taking care of diabetic care, high acuity cases, and helping those who may need extra support moving around. The kitchen, run by a chef, serves home-cooked meals every day, and there are many food choices-even meals for vegetarians, kosher, low/no sodium, no sugar, organic, or international dishes-with guest meals and room service, all aimed at good nutrition and taste. There's reliable Wi-Fi, cable TV, home security, medical alert systems like Bay Alarm Medical, Medical Guardian, and ADT Medical Alert, walk-in tubs, medication dispensers, and safety tools like ID theft protection, so seniors can feel at ease and protected.
Residents use both indoor and outdoor spaces, including courtyards and common rooms, for relaxation or being with others, and there's always adult supervision and organized outings for healthy aging. The home values spirituality, offering religious services for Catholic, Jewish, Mormon/LDS, Protestant, and more, with visits from chaplains or priests, and there's always a chance for private time, or to join group devotionals or special events. Staff arrange housekeeping, laundry, and personal care, and they coordinate care with outside providers, looking after every detail. Technology at De Good Shephard adds extra convenience, with video, photo, and PDF tools, plus secure content sharing so families can stay connected.
The home environment suits those who want a cozy, clean setting, away from bigger, more crowded places-it feels like a true home where people are treated with respect and love, and the ministry of care means every day brings a sense of belonging, whether someone wants privacy or likes to join in the friendly community, with round-the-clock support that never stops.
