My aunt is at Good Shepherd Fairview, and it’s been fabulous. It’s affordable, it’s one of the cheaper places in the area, and they have everything there. They have a café, a hairdresser, a podiatrist, and a bank. She has her prayer group, her rosary, and her church. They go twice a week to the grocery store, they have a shuttle, and then they also go to the casino, the shopping mall, and she also has a chauffeur service included in the price when she will go to any medical appointment and it’s part of the price that she pays. They have yoga, prayer group, social hour, men’s night, meeting clubs, mardigras; they have everything. I want to live there and I’m not even 50. The staff is fabulous. We had an issue where my aunt and another lady moved in at the same time and they issued the same phone number, so the housekeeper, went to my aunt’s room and knocked on the door to tell her that her phone was not working, and they fixed the problem. She had a problem with her toilet and it was fixed the next day, she had an issue with her TV remote and the maintenance man came and fixed it, and they hung her pictures. They’re absolutely fabulous, I was so impressed.

Good Shepherd Fairview Home has three levels of care. You could go and live there until you needed assisted living or regular nursing care. I just visited the independent living area. I thought it was very nice and very good. It had a nice parking area and in a good area of town. The staff were very friendly and nice. The dining area was very wide and open with a lot of windows. I believed they had activities. However, when I needed to move in they did not have an available room.
