The Good Shepherd Health and Rehab is an excellent solution for long term health care. Our Mom has transitioned from an apartment on the property, to assisted living, and now their Memory Care unit. The employees are outstanding and truly care for their patients. It is a wonderful feeling to know our Mom is safe and cared for.

Visiting room 118, nurse Holly was exceptionally helpful. Her assistance made my visit much easier to initiate. I am a local pastor, and I was visiting an individual I did not previously know. My thanks to Holly!
