About Us
A commitment you can trust, guided by faith
Welcome to Good Shepherd Home
A Faith-Based Life Care Community
As a Christian, not-for-profit life care community, Good Shepherd Home serves those of all faiths with a full range of independent living options and all levels of care. We are guided by local Fostoria citizens, regional professionals and congregations of the Northern Ohio District of the Church of the Brethren. Our Board of Trustees is dedicated to Christian service and sound financial stewardship. Security, compassion, love—since 1904, we have brought a welcoming home and abundant living to seniors in our community.
