There's just something about baby ducks that can brighten everyone's day! 🐥💛

A special thank you to Nurse Angy for bringing in her adorable ducklings to visit our residents. Their tiny waddles, soft peeps, and curious personalities brought plenty of smiles, laughter, and sweet memories throughout the day.

Moments like these remind us that joy can often be found in the simplest things. Thank you, Angy, for sharing your feathered friends with our Good Shepherd Home family! 🦆✨

✨ Our second meeting of the Shepherd Family Alliance has been set!
This group has been developed by our Social Services Department to support family members as they navigate the journey of having a loved one in our care. The goal is to provide helpful coping strategies, along with tools and resources to make this time as smooth and manageable as possible. Just as importantly, it offers a chance to connect with others who truly understand what you’re experiencing—building a sense of community and support along the way.
While conversations may naturally include your loved ones, this group will not focus on the day-to-day operations of Good Shepherd Home. Instead, the focus is on you—providing encouragement, guidance, and support throughout your journey. Topics may include finances, loneliness, guilt, Alzheimer’s/dementia, and decision-making.
Any questions--please contact Cameron Corbin, LSW, Care Coordinator at 419-937-1801.
