My mother has been at Good Shepherd Community - Sauk Rapids for a week now. This place is awesome. I like it. Their activities are awesome. They have things that they do every day. One day, they had a wacky hair day. They have what they call a happy hour and they go to the event center where they have a band playing, and they serve soda and cookies. They have a movie at least once a month. They have manicures there. They have a beauty salon. They just have so much to do. And the staff is just awesome. They are very, very good. They encourage everybody there to go to the little dining room and my mom met some people she was really happy about. They talk to each other. They try to make sure that they keep conversations, and they push everybody to make friends and not be isolated. My mother is an extremely picky eater, but she says the food is very good.
This place is huge. It's one community to the next, and my mother likes it. There are different wings to the different levels of care. She has a regular room with a bathroom, a bed, and a TV, and she has a window to look out. All the rooms have windows to look out so it's not dark. I think it's a very good place.

Staff is very interactive with the residence. There is a lot of activities for those who are able. And they are very compassionate and caring for the residence I particularly like on Monday when they polish the nails up any and all residents whether it be male or female!

I was fairly impressed with the facility it seemed that the staff were qualified and caring. The only downfall was that this was a nursing home and my friend who was a resident there was only 22 at the time she was there. The rehab unit of the facility was very goal focused and it truly seemed like the staff were caring about meeting and reaching goals to achieve discharge.

In my experience the Good Shepherd community was a nice place. The facilities were clean very clean. I have visited other nursing homes in the past and have seen some very unhappy patients. Depressed, some just sitting in the hallways begging to be taken out of there. The residents here seemed content and well taken care of. The staff seemed nice and genuinely compassionate. The "campus" as they call it is fairly large in my opinion, and located on the outskirts of town. Nice calm neighborhood. I do believe they have separate facilities on campus for varying degrees of patient health, such as memory units, etc. I like the fact that they did not keep all the patients together, as I can only imagine how stressful having let's say, a dementia patient as a neighbor would be. That being said, I believe having specified units for these patients provides them with the best care possible also. They are cared for by staff who are specialized in the needs of such a patients. I didn't get a full tour on my visit, these are just some of the things I had picked up on. Leaving me with the impression that although this is not the newest facility I've seen it is definitely a good one. Feels somewhat homey, I guess as homey as a medical facility could. And as said the staff seem genuine, and I noticed a few patient/staff interactions that lead me to believe there's actual compassionate human to human interaction. Not just worker to work.
