  Our mother was at Home of the Good Shepherd in Malta until her passing at age 91. I can't say enough about the staff that took care of our mother and treated her like family. It's very hard when a parent can't live alone safely anymore. We wanted our mother in a clean, safe and caring place which is why we chose Home of the Good Shepherd. While a resident, Mom was able to live in her own room with furniture we brought from her home. The staff keep the folks busy with activities, entertainment and social events. Having our mom here gave us all peace of mind.

  My father was extremely well cared for in The Home of the Good Shepherd’s Memory Care Unit. After caring for my father at home for many years as his Alzheimer’s disease progressed, we made the difficult decision to have him cared for in a different setting. We chose The Home of the Good Shepherd in Malta after visiting many memory care units in the Capital Region. Our decision was based on many factors, including their caring staff, an up-to-date and appropriate setting for people dealing with memory issues, and the types of activities available. He seemed very happy there and when the time of his passing came, we were blessed to have the care of hospice nurses to augment the care of the Good Shepherd staff. My mother often says, she wishes we made the decision to make the transition sooner.

  Home of the Good Shepherd is a God send to us. My sister is extremely well taken care of, the staff is super friendly and helpful, the food is wonderful, and the programs, including many musical performances a month, give my sister such comfort and joy.

  This is a review of our experience with the Home of the Good Shepherd at the Malta, NY location, which by itself, is in a beautiful park-like setting with no heavy traffic and plentiful outdoor walking spaces. An outsized front porch is perfect for enjoying the good weather in the spring, summer and fall. About a year ago, Mom and Dad had reached the limit of being able to live on their own in their own home. At ages 89 and 91, we were at our wits’ end about next steps. We began exploring assisted living situations and contacted HGS at Malta. We received a tour and had numerous meetings with Kimberly Davis, who oversees admissions and activities. She was an empathetic listener, efficiently walked us through all the application steps, and was able to provide a two-room suite so M&D could be together. She had all the contacts to make move-in hassle-free and the rest of the staff stepped up immediately to meet their needs (both urgent and long-term). Unfortunately, after about 4 months, Dad passed away and was able to receive hospice care right in the facility. Since that time, Mom has struggled with her grief and is just now adjusting to living by herself with the great care of staff like Christina, Nicole, Sarah, Liz, Maggie, Delores and Daniel. There are numerous musical performances and special events every week as well as trips to local restaurants and scenic drives around the county. There are many opportunities to keep life exciting with crafts, baking sessions, and holiday parties that the residents and their families enjoy together. Mom is going on her second year and is content and well cared for. We visit numerous times each week and are always greeted like family whenever we walk through the door. That speaks volumes! Sincerely, A grateful family from Saratoga Springs, NY
