“This is Home”
We care for area seniors through an entirely new approach to senior living. Our beautiful, converted residential homes provide all the amenities of “big box” facilities with the comfort & feel of home. Mix in our award-winning staff and industry leading caretaker-to-resident ratios, and you have Shepherd Premier.
Family owned and operated since 2014, Shepherd Premier was created to bring dignity and honor back to senior care after a disappointing personal experience in a 100+ bed facility. Click below to learn the why behind Shepherd Premier.

What Our Families 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.

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!
