Our read on The Good Shepherd Health And Rehabilitation Center

Good Shepherd The in Ashland runs on more nurse hours per resident than most homes in the country, 4.73 a day against a national average of 3.86, which is roughly a quarter more hands-on time. Turnover sits at 31.1%, well under the 45.8% national figure, though weekends run about 20% thinner than weekdays, so ask how that gap gets covered. Its last inspection was July 2024, and the record shows 27 deficiencies, one serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, none tied to abuse. For a 125-bed for-profit corporate home, the staffing and low turnover are what stand out.
