Good Shepherd Lutheran Home in Blair, Nebraska, provides both Assisted Living and Independent Living. The community can accommodate residents who use oxygen, manage diabetes with oral medication, or require insulin injections, and staff are prepared to support individuals experiencing moderate dementia.
Additional clinical safeguards include an RN or LPN on staff, a 24-hour nurse on call, routine background checks, and an awake night shift. Podiatry services are available on site. Staff can give full assistance with bathing, eating, dressing, and toileting, and they can help with mobility needs such as walker use, wheelchair support, standby supervision, and one-person transfers. Pull cords in apartments and portable emergency response systems alert staff at any hour, and the grounds feature 24-hour security, fencing in the rear, and an activity director who coordinates daily schedules.
Apartments may offer a private bathroom, kitchenette, independent temperature controls, cable service, and the option to paint or decorate the space, though not every unit contains each feature. Residents can furnish their rooms with personal items if they choose, and maintenance is handled by the community.
Meals follow a set menu served in the dining room three times a day, and staff can provide total assistance with eating when needed. Specialized diets for diabetes management or other physician-directed restrictions are prepared by kitchen personnel. Independent Living residents receive weekly housekeeping, allowing them to focus on social or personal pursuits.
Amenities include resident parking, wheelchair-accessible common areas, an on-site barber and beauty shop, an exercise room, a dedicated movie room, internet access, and regular religious services held on the premises. Scheduled transportation is offered for appointments and outings, and the campus is close to public transportation for residents who drive or prefer independent travel.
