Shepherd Premier Senior Living offers a distinctive approach to assisted living and memory care, thoughtfully designed to provide seniors with a warm and homelike environment. Founded in 2014 and family-owned and operated ever since, Shepherd Premier was established out of a desire to restore dignity and honor to senior care—a passion inspired by the founder’s disappointing personal experience within a large, impersonal senior living facility. This central mission continues to inspire their vision of transforming the standard of senior living by offering cozy, inviting residential homes instead of large institutional settings.
Each Shepherd Premier residence is a beautifully remodeled home nestled in quiet, residential neighborhoods, purposefully created to foster comfort, safety, and a true sense of belonging. Every home integrates all the amenities seniors need, including ADA-accessible bathrooms, wheelchair accessibility, housekeeping and laundry services, and three home-cooked meals every day. Residents enjoy premium features such as cable TV, WiFi, and state-of-the-art safety equipment, including 24/7 video surveillance and emergency call systems. Carefully curated landscapes and home gardens enhance the peaceful surroundings, inviting residents to spend time outdoors and connect with nature.
The environment at Shepherd Premier Senior Living is designed to be intimate, featuring private or semi-private rooms that residents are encouraged to personalize, allowing every individual to feel genuinely at home. The homes are decorated with thoughtful, cozy touches that promote comfort and familiarity. Rather than functioning as a typical facility, these homes have been carefully crafted to support small groups of 10-20 residents, enabling strong connections to form among residents and between residents and caregivers. This fosters a family-like atmosphere, where everyone is known, valued, and cared for according to their unique needs.
The staff at Shepherd Premier Senior Living are recognized for their compassion, dedication, and the award-winning care they provide, supported by industry-leading caretaker-to-resident ratios. This allows for highly personalized attention, ensuring the wellbeing of each resident in both assisted living and memory care settings. For seniors dealing with Alzheimer’s and dementia, the homes provide a secure environment where respect, emotional support, and cognitive stimulation are central to everyday life. Programs like music therapy are thoughtfully integrated, benefiting residents cognitively, physically, and psychologically.
Daily life at Shepherd Premier is rich with engagement and activities tailored to nurture both the social and emotional facets of aging. Residents participate in a variety of offerings—gardening, cooking classes, movie nights, book clubs, and regular outings—all designed to promote social interaction, mental stimulation, and a sense of joy and purpose. Meals play an important role in the experience, with home-cooked dishes crafted from fresh, locally sourced ingredients, often with residents joining in meal planning and preparation to foster independence and involvement.
Family involvement is a core value at Shepherd Premier Senior Living. The environment is structured to keep families connected, welcome, and included as integral parts of their loved ones’ lives, supported by open visitation policies and ongoing, transparent communication. Through regular family events and a commitment to genuine connection, the homes ensure that residents and those who care for them feel a lasting sense of peace and comfort.
Shepherd Premier Senior Living is dedicated to providing an alternative to large, institutional facilities—a place where seniors can enjoy their golden years surrounded by warmth, affection, and community. Every detail, from design to staffing to daily routines, is guided by a commitment to honor each resident’s dignity, happiness, and wellbeing, making it a truly special place to call home.
