🌀 Dizzy? Unsteady? Feeling off balance?

Our therapy team works with both residents and outpatients to help improve balance, mobility, coordination, and confidence through vestibular therapy.

Vestibular therapy uses specialized exercises to help the brain and body better process signals from the inner ear, eyes, and muscles. Patients may work on head and eye movements, walking, balance, position changes, and other activities designed around their individual needs and goals.

And sometimes, a little extra motivation comes with four paws. 🐾

Ferrell, our facility dog, is a special part of the therapy experience. He can be incorporated into sessions to encourage movement, provide comfort, and make challenging exercises feel a little more enjoyable. Rehabilitation isn't just about getting stronger. It's about building confidence, increasing independence, and getting back to the things that matter most. And Ferrell is always happy to help with that. 🐕✨

Learn more about our Outpatient Therapy!

📅 Appointment Times: Monday–Friday, 8 AM–3:30 PM
📞 Call 607-484-6057 to book your appointment today!

Helping our residents, supporting our staff, strengthening our community.

Since 1986, the Good Shepherd Communities Foundation has helped enhance the lives of older adults and support the people who care for them.

Through three key areas of support:
🏡 Living Care Fund helps ensure residents have a home for life, providing assistance when financial challenges arise.
💙 Employee Fund supports the staff who make Good Shepherd special through tuition assistance, employee recognition, and emergency aid during times of crisis.
🌟 Unrestricted Funds provide the flexibility to support the most pressing needs, programs, and wellness initiatives across Fairview Home, Village at Endwell, and Chase Memorial Nursing Home & Rehab, helping create meaningful experiences and enhance the lives of our residents.

Every gift helps create stronger communities, support our dedicated staff, and ensure our residents continue to receive the care and opportunities they deserve.

🐾💙 MEET OUR NEWEST, HARD-WORKING & MOST REQUESTED EMPLOYEE!

Ferrell may have four paws, but he has an important job at The Village at Endwell. 🐶✨

Professionally trained through Canine Companions, Ferrell participates in therapy sessions and brings comfort, connection, encouragement, and plenty of smiles to the people around him.

With cues from his handler, Ferrell can adjust how he participates in therapy activities to meet each resident’s needs, while keeping their safety and comfort a top priority.

But his impact goes far beyond therapy sessions. He’s proof that sometimes the most meaningful part of a therapy session comes with four paws, a wagging tail, and a whole lot of heart.

We’re pretty sure Ferrell has become one of the most requested members of the team! Want to see more of Ferrell in action? Give him a follow on Instagram at and follow along as he continues making a difference throughout our community! 🐶✨
