Good Shepherd Home

Good Shepherd Home, a full-service life planning community, is a beacon of hope for those in search of a nurturing haven that caters to the physical and emotional needs of older adults. Their unwavering dedication to seamlessly blend assisted living and heartfelt compassion creates an environment that fosters spiritual growth and delivers solace and exceptional care to residents.

“We provide a nurturing environment for those who can no longer live independently and need support with daily activities and healthcare,” says Chris Widman, executive director of Good Shepherd Home.

Ensuring continuum of care for seniors, Good Shepherd Home provides a comprehensive range of services and care options to cater to the various needs of their residents. They provide a variety of room configurations, including studios, suites, and suites with patios, to cater to individual preferences and needs, which allows them to create a living space that feels like home.

At the heart of Good Shepherd Home's values lies a strong faith-based foundation rooted in Christianity. A beautiful chapel providing worship space for residents and the wider community emphasizes their commitment to spiritual well-being. Welcoming all believers, regardless of denomination, Good Shepherd Home fosters an inclusive and ecumenical atmosphere.

Two ordained chaplains offering spiritual support seven days a week ensure residents can continue their spiritual growth and find support and comfort in times of need. For over 120 years, their Christian foundation has guided their mission of service, making Good Shepherd Home a place where faith and care converge to provide holistic support for seniors and their families.
Good Shepherd Home was the first assisted living facility in Ohio to implement the Medicaid waiver program. This compassionate initiative allows residents to remain in the community even if they face financial challenges, demonstrating the facility's commitment to providing continuity of care.

Going beyond conventional offerings, Good Shepherd Home meets the unique needs of their residents. In line with this ethos, they offer the SAIDO Learning program, a groundbreaking Alzheimer's treatment developed by the esteemed Kumon Institute in Japan. With its potential to reverse the devastating effects of the disease, this program reflects Good Shepherd Home's dedication to enhancing the quality of life for residents.

Among the many residents who have experienced Good Shepherd Home’s services, one story stands out. A concerned family approached them to enroll their father, who was severely underweight and struggling to maintain a balanced diet while living alone at home. After becoming a resident and receiving three nutritious meals a day, he began gaining weight and getting healthier. Witnessing this transformation brought immense joy to the family, knowing their father's well-being had flourished under the exceptional care of the compassionate and dedicated staff.
