Review for Home of the Good Shepherd at Highpointe

Those who don't have a voice, will get the worst care. Regular staff is very good. Agency staff is horrible. Short staffed almost every wknd. Visit, at a minimum, 3x a week so they know you want the best care possible.

We really liked the community. However; the community had a long waiting list, and they reached out to us after we committed to another community.

The thing that stands out the most is the staff is very caring. They treat the community like it's a family.

Above and beyond the norm

My sister recently became a resident at Home of the Good Shepherd, because of some unexpected glitches during her release from the hospital. The people at Home of the Good Shepherd made an enormous effort to stay very late on a Friday and make her admission possible. They were extremely understanding and pro-active to resolve a very problematic situation, supplying everything we needed at very short notice. A special thank to the Assistant Administrator [name removed], and [name removed], as well as everyone else t
