The property's made up of two buildings at 510 and 512 Centinela Blvd, with apartments in studio, one-bedroom, two-bedroom, three-bedroom, and even four-bedroom layouts, many of which have been newly renovated with updates like granite kitchen countertops, new cabinets, stainless steel appliances, and laminate wood floors, along with individual air conditioning and heating in each unit, all to make things more comfortable. The community is pet-friendly, welcoming furry friends, and has secure parking, an on-site computer lab, and shared BBQ spaces where residents gather for cookouts or just to visit with each other, plus there's always on-site maintenance around the clock if something needs fixing.
The whole place is designed so older adults, mostly folks 62 and up, and people needing supportive housing, can feel safe, comfortable, and included. Good Shepherd Homes II runs under the Good Shepherd Housing Development Corporation, and the staff, who are often described as helpful and joyful, put a lot of care into their work, offering board and care services, as well as assisted living and memory care for those who need help with daily things like bathing and dressing. There are also healthcare professionals on-site who provide medical services tailored for each person, making sure needs are met as people's health changes, and there are special resident programs and activities offered, some for lifelong learning and others just for fun, keeping folks engaged, active, and able to connect with neighbors.
Residents at Good Shepherd Homes II get nutritious meals as part of the regular dining, and the community has received recognition for those meals, earning awards for quality and nutritious meal preparation, as well as the "Best of Senior Living All Star" award in 2024 for high ratings from residents and families, especially in friendliness and activities. There's on-site management and a small shared kitchen for community use. The place offers respite care as well, so short-term stays are an option, and it's known for making room for both comfort and accessibility, using its space and programs to encourage independence among people who still want to handle things on their own but might need a little help every now and then. Good Shepherd Manor and Good Shepherd Homes are two names for the distinct communities under this umbrella, all focusing on supportive housing and a sense of togetherness for people who want to feel settled in a friendly, safe place. Review scores have been strong, with an 8.5 based on five reviews, and the staff has earned at least 4.5 stars for their kindness and the engaging activities offered in the community. The whole complex sits in a spot that makes it easy for residents to get to other places in Inglewood or connect with what the local area has, so people can keep busy and stay a part of things if they want to.
