Good Shepherd Home sits at 725 Columbus Avenue in Fostoria, Ohio, and offers senior living options on one campus with a peaceful family feeling, where neighbors chat and look out for each other, and you'll often find someone strolling around the pond or enjoying the walking paths, and the "Main Street" area brings together small conveniences right within reach. The campus has new villas and apartments for independent living, mostly for folks who want to stay active and have their own space, and these places come with kitchens and bathrooms, with maintenance like snow removal, water, garbage, and appliances included. Some people use the laundry rooms themselves, but others pay for laundry and housekeeping to be done for them, and there's meal programs for those who want prepared food, usually one or two meals a day. The facility has barbershops and beauty salons, aviaries with birds to enjoy, and Internet access for residents who like to keep up with friends or family online, plus a therapy center that people can visit or take a tour of to learn about the different physical, speech, occupational, and respiratory therapies they offer.
Good Shepherd Home has adult day services and in-home care for seniors in the area, but many folks choose to move into the assisted living, skilled nursing, or specialized memory care neighborhoods, especially the Brethren Court for those with dementia or Alzheimer's, where they have custom programs and trained staff, though the cost for memory care is usually about three times higher than regular senior care. Nursing residents and those getting rehab have 24-hour supervision and care, inpatient nursing, and extra help like bathing or dressing, and there's both short-term and long-term options depending on what's needed, including incontinence care and medication help. For people needing more involved help, the Assisted Living Plus area offers extra services beyond standard assisted living. The team keeps the place running by offering daily help, healthcare services, and a sense of community, and you'll find over 100 beds for assisted living or skilled care, a mix of independence if that's what you want, and support when you need it. Good Shepherd Home is built on faith-based traditions and encourages social events and fellowship, but also respects privacy, and the staff are there day and night to make sure everyone is safe and cared for. Each service and amenity can be included in the monthly rent or cost extra, and every part of the facility is meant to support seniors as they age and need new kinds of help, from home care to memory care, from simple chores to skilled nursing and rehabilitation.
