My mother has been with Shelby Farms for the last two years. We have found the staff to be a joy to work with and the service excellent. My mom is thriving at Shelby Farms. Any and all concerns were address immediately with transparency and communication. I highly recommend a visit as you explore long-term care options for your family.

I moved my mother into Shelby Farms in December of 2024. I have been amazed at the level of care and service that their staff provide to her on a daily basis. I cannot imagine a better experience for an aging parent. The staff are attentive, patient, and caring. They communicated with me multiple times daily when she first arrived in order to update me on her health concerns and her acclimation to the facility. Would absolutely recommend and hope that this facility still exists when I am ready for assisted living!

I can't say enough good things about Shelby Farms. The care and environment is top notch. The nursing staff is phenomenal. My 95 1/2 year old mother has been there for 14 months and she is thriving. Highly recommend for impeccable care

Shelby Farms was the only place Dad looked and knew that’s where he wanted to be! From the first time we visited, Cindy and other sweet staff made us feel right at home. Dad loved the special attention to his daily needs - particularly a milk shake or a sandwich after dialysis and evening check-ins just to make sure he was doing alright. Having extra support 24/7 versus being at home alone is what he needed during this time as his health was changing somewhat rapidly. Wearing his safety pendant helped him and me while maintaining his independence too. He loved the friends he made at “his” table and being just a little bit social if he chose to be. Thank you, Shelby Farms, for all of your love and support when we needed it!

Shelby Farms has been wonderful for my parents. Cindy was great from day one, when we were still making decisions about how much care they would need and where they would move. They are so happy there. They can’t say enough about the activities and the food especially. It’s the best decision we could have made for them.
