What Our Families
Have to Say

My Mother-In-Law has been a resident at Shepherd for several months and the change in her has been incredible. She is more active, she has much better care and has a more positive outlook on life than she has had in quite awhile. I highly recommend Shepherd Premier Senior Living as a great place for the senior in your life who needs sweet loving care!

Have to Say

My Mom has been in the care of Shepherd Premier for almost four years. The home and property are absolutely beautiful. Every time I visit my Mom she is sure to tell me how good the staff treat her and how she worries about nothing. I couldn’t ask for a better place for Mom.
