The Good Shepherd Of Dublin is a small, licensed residential care home for the elderly in Dublin, California, with room for up to six seniors, so there's a sense of a real home rather than a large institution, and folks can choose between private or semi-private rooms, some with their own bathroom, while others might be shared, and you'll find staff able to help with bathing, dressing, grooming, and getting in or out of the shower, with a focus on keeping people safe and secure, since wandering can be a risk for those with memory concerns. The place offers long-term care, assisted living, memory care for those with Alzheimer's or similar conditions, hospice, and short-term respite stays, tailoring services to each resident's needs, sometimes even helping with medications, insulin injections, help from two staff for transfers, and they say they can arrange for a 24-hour awake caregiver if that's needed.
There are structured activities every day, like movie nights, music plans, arts and crafts, board games, and social nights, with a wellness area for exercise and fitness routines, a book room for folks that enjoy reading, and usually some kind of music or pet therapy and outside trips on the calendar, and they try to keep everyone engaged with personalized recreation and social time, holding regular group meals, and home-cooked dishes with diets that can be adjusted for folks managing things like high blood pressure or diabetes. The building itself is secured, doors are protected, and there are garden spaces, recreation areas, and places to socialize or spend some quiet time, plus there's access to transportation for errands, doctor visits, church, and shopping. There's housekeeping, laundry, room cleaning, and a traveling hairdresser or stylist comes by when needed, so residents can feel comfortable and cared for.
The property is fully licensed with industry-required checks, operating under facility license number 19200847, taking care to offer professional care, yet it's not listed as BBB accredited, and currently doesn't accept Medicare payments unless officially certified. The Good Shepherd Of Dublin works to create a respectful environment where people keep their dignity and independence as much as possible, offering different care levels, a range of support, and familiar routines in a foster care setting, where seniors can feel safe, cared for, and part of a small, kind community.
