We Believe Everyone Deserves
Our Quality Care

Our staff nurses help to vet, source and train your private caregivers, and then oversee the delivery of quality care.

Our nutritious meals are carefully prepared and consumption is monitored. We shop for, prepare, clean up, and store meals for when we are not on site.

Family Resources
We match client needs to available resources (financial, family caregivers), and identify gaps.
Lifecare Plan
Our customized guide removes uncertainty and worry, switching you from reactive to proactive, and giving your family peace-of-mind.
Helping Clients Age with Dignity
Hear From Sarah on Her Mother Sylvia
“Gentle Shepherd Care worked with us to plan and deliver the life my Mom wanted. She stayed in her own home, overlooking the lake, enjoying daily walks, reading and being read to aloud, sipping her one glass of wine each day at 4pm.”
“As her Alzheimer’s and dementia worsened, my mother needed more care. With Gentle Shepherd, we were able to gradually increase from part-time to 24-hour care over almost a 3 year period.”
“Gentle Shepherd was more affordable, higher quality care. It would have cost $100k/year in a memory ward, and Mom wouldn’t have had one-on-one care. Instead, we increased care over time and only reached $100k in the final year. “
Enjoy Time Together, Leave Eldercare Management to Us
No one ever said, “I wish I had been on hold longer.” Gentle Shepherd Care eases the administrative burden of caregiving. As a result, older adults and families enjoy healthier, less stressful lives, leading to better family relationships.
Nurse-Managed Care
Our nurses review medical records and consult with doctor's to ensure proper administration of medication and treatments, resulting in better care and peace-of-mind.
Vendor Management
Our team assesses and recommends improvements to current care situations and vendors, and sources, screens and contracts with resources as needed.
Caregiver Outages
Our staff bears the responsibility for quickly solving eldercare outages due to caretaker illness, travel/vacation or departure, including relief for family caregivers.
Staff Training
Our team educates new caregivers on protocols, both medical and lifestyle, before they come to you. As well, all caregivers undergo our proprietary, internal training program.
Post-Event Care Changes
Being discharged from rehab post surgery doesn't mean that someone is fully independent. We provide supportive care at home (bathing, meal prep, restorative therapy) to speed a return to normal.
