Home of the Good Shepherd

Don’t put your loved ones here horrible place

Home of the Good Shepherd (HGS) has served our family twice. Once on the assisted living side for my father, and once for my sister who had early-onset Parkinsons disease on the Memory Care side. In both cases, the staff and management of HGS developed relationships with my family. And not only patient-caregiver relationships, but true loving, family relationships. I saw with my own eyes the level of love between HGS employees and my family. The care was incredible and compassionate, and we could not have been happier. The employees at HGS are true angels and, in my opinion, have a swift entrance into heaven.

The staff truly cared about my mother. On Sundays they would get her dressed for Church and my father would pick her up. Everything is well organized. Her room was clean, she was always clean and had her nails polished. My mom went to all the activities. She didn't have any complaints about the food. They check on the resident every 2 hours. We knew she was in a safe place.

--- **Thank You to The Home of the Good Shepherd** I want to extend my heartfelt thanks to The Home of the Good Shepherd for offering such an incredible wellness benefit through CDCHP. It Covers up to $400 annually toward a gym membership and a health and fitness device, this program is a powerful example of how much our company truly cares about the health and well-being of its employees. Thanks to this benefit, I was able to apply for a scholarship at the YMCA and received 80% off an annual membership, 80% off paid programs, and 50% off personal training sessions. Because of this generous support, **every financial need related to my fitness resources has been fully taken care of**, allowing me to stay focused and committed to my weight loss journey without added stress or barriers. This benefit has truly been a game-changer, helping me build healthy habits and feel supported every step of the way. It’s inspiring to work for an organization that invests so meaningfully in our overall wellness. **Thank you, Home of the Good Shepherd — your support is making a real difference!!

Our family visited several memory care facilities between Albany and Glen Falls. Home of the Good Shepherd in Saratoga Springs clearly stood out compared to the others. The rooms and common areas provide a comfortable, home-like atmosphere. They might have a waiting list, but it's worth the wait and I would encourage families of prospective memory residents to begin your search before the actual need arrives. The facilities are very nice, but it's the people who work at Home of the Good Shepherd that make this a truly special place. We just moved Mom in last week. We spent most of the week there getting the room set up and spending time with Mom to help her get settled. Every member of the staff has been fantastic and the process could not have been better. The admin team, nurses, aides, chef, maintenance crew and hair stylist have all been highly supportive of us and with all the other residents. We couldn't be more pleased with Home of the Good Shepherd and we're grateful that Mom will receive the best care possible!
