Founded in 1979, Good Shepherd Retirement Community has developed a strong reputation for providing quality, affordable living designed specifically for independently living seniors in a faith-based environment. Over the years, the community has expanded from its original single building with 200 apartments to a multi-facility campus that now spans five distinct facilities across 140 acres of beautifully maintained, park-like grounds in west Little Rock. This inviting setting creates a welcoming atmosphere for residents to feel at home, surrounded by green spaces and convenient amenities.
Good Shepherd Retirement Community offers a wide variety of housing options to accommodate the diverse preferences and needs of its residents. Apartments come in several configurations—including studio, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom layouts—with accessibility features thoughtfully integrated for those with disabilities. The community’s design also provides different styles of living, from cottage residences to traditional apartment living, ensuring that residents can find a space that truly suits their lifestyle. The campus is thoughtfully situated close to shopping centers, restaurants, and healthcare providers, allowing residents to maintain their independence with ease.
Within Good Shepherd, each building extends its own unique advantages. The Moore Building houses 200 independent living, HUD-subsidized apartments complete with convenient parking, a gym, a beauty salon, a library, and meeting areas that promote social connections. The Rhinehart Building features 55 apartments, each with scenic balcony views of the surrounding landscape, offering residents tranquil retreats at home. The Cove, developed in 1986, comprises 81 apartments and provides an enhanced level of service, including two meals per day as well as weekly laundry and housekeeping services, allowing for a more worry-free lifestyle.
Further embracing the spirit of home and independence, the Cottages, established in 2012, consist of 104 individual homes for independently living seniors, offering comfort, privacy, and all the benefits of community life. The Roberts provides comfortable studio units with two meals per day in a supportive setting. Residents of The Roberts enjoy access to a dining room, gym, computer lab, beauty salon, and a variety of community spaces, ensuring every day is filled with comfort and opportunity for enrichment.
The campus at Good Shepherd Retirement Community is designed to foster a genuine sense of connection, dignity, and well-being. Central to its mission is the commitment to supporting the independence of every resident, honoring their personal journeys while offering professional, personalized service. The comprehensive amenities, attentive staff, and diversity of living options all contribute to the vibrant, nurturing environment for which Good Shepherd is known.
