Our read on Good Shepherd Home
Good Shepherd Home runs on 4.60 nurse hours per resident day, about 19% more than the national average, and its staff turnover of 32% sits well under the 45.8% national figure, both signs of a stable, adequately covered floor. The trade-offs show up elsewhere: weekend staffing drops roughly 16% below its own weekday level, and the current record carries 30 deficiencies, one serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy, though none involve abuse. Inspectors last visited in October 2024. Quality measures score high, staffing solid, inspections middling, a home that's generally well-run with at least one lapse worth asking about directly.
