Home of the Good Shepherd Saratoga provides licensed assisted-living care with attention to residents who need medical oversight. The community manages wandering behaviors during both daytime and night hours, supplies oxygen therapy, and follows special dietary protocols. Staff are trained to serve residents younger than 60 as well as those managing diabetes through oral medications, insulin injections, or sliding-scale coverage. Support for advanced dementia is available, and care plans are adjusted to match changing cognitive or physical needs.

Residents have continuous access to professional nursing: an RN or LPN is on duty around the clock, with an additional nurse on call at all times. All employees undergo background checks, night shifts are staffed by awake personnel, and an activity director coordinates daily programs. Pull-cord systems can alert staff immediately or contact 911 if needed, and on-site security is maintained 24 hours a day. Staff can give full assistance with bathing, dressing, eating, and toileting and can perform transfers ranging from standby help to two-person or Hoyer-lift support, including service for bed-bound residents.

Apartments include options for private bathrooms, independent temperature controls, and cable hookups, but not every unit offers every feature, so prospective residents should confirm availability during a tour. Rooms are designed to accommodate wheelchairs and mobility equipment, and maintenance staff handle routine upkeep.

Meals are prepared on a set menu while also allowing on-order selections, with snacks available between meals. The kitchen team can accommodate physician-ordered diet modifications, including diabetic, low-salt, or texture-adjusted plans, ensuring residents’ nutritional requirements are met without compromising meal schedules.

The campus offers resident parking, wheelchair-accessible entrances, a barber and beauty shop, an exercise room, a movie room, a wellness center, and community-wide internet access. Scheduled transportation is available for medical appointments, shopping, and local outings.
