Overall Review of Shepherd Of The Hills Living Center

common 4 reviews mention this

Cleanliness stands out in visits

Residents and visitors repeatedly comment on a clean facility and pleasant-smelling rooms.

Several reviewers describe the building as clean, with one specifically calling out that it smells good. Multiple comments mention housekeeping keeping the facility in good shape. A rehab reviewer also notes the space was clean and mentions an odor only on a couple of visits. Overall, cleanliness comes through as a consistent positive point in firsthand accounts.

common 4 reviews mention this

Social work support is emphasized

The social worker’s help is a consistent source of reassurance for families and patients.

Multiple reviewers credit the social worker with going above and beyond during placement and ongoing concerns. One review highlights how the social worker explained and supported the most important decisions. Others describe help navigating questions, paperwork, and stress for family members. This support shows up as an actionable part of the experience, not just general hospitality.

caveat 7 reviews mention this

Call light response and staffing disappoint

Call button and general staffing coverage are frequent complaints, with delays described during visits and stays.

Many negative reviews describe slow responses to call lights or phone calls, including reports of waiting hours for help. Several reviewers connect the issue to understaffing, describing residents left in unsafe or uncomfortable conditions for extended periods. There are also accounts of missed needs such as assistance with toileting and delayed basic care. Even among otherwise positive comments, some reviewers still describe difficulty getting information and support in the moment.

caveat 6 reviews mention this

Food quality is a mixed point

Food receives sharply mixed feedback, from enjoyed meals to descriptions of poor taste and temperature.

A rehab reviewer says their mother enjoyed the food most of the time, and another comment ties enjoyment and social life to the overall setting. On the other hand, multiple reviewers are strongly negative, citing disgusting or horrendous meals. Complaints include food being burnt, cold, inedible, or simply terrible, and at least one account describes dining as unpleasant overall. Across reviews, dining quality appears uneven rather than reliably consistent.
