Resident & Family Testimonials

“I enjoyed my time at Shepherd of the Valley Boardman. The nurses were great and they made my time in the Dialysis Den easy. I received dialysis 5 times each week, which allowed me to continue activities and have good quality of life. I would recommend dialysis at Shepherd of the Valley Boardman to everyone.”

I had two stays at Shepherd of the Valley Boardman, in skilled nursing and in the Dialysis Den. The Dialysis Den was comfortable and convenient. I went five days per week. If I ever need skilled nursing again, I’d want to come back to Shepherd of the Valley Boardman. The staff is kind, challenged me to push myself in therapy, and lifted my spirit while I was here.

Although my stay here was longer than anticipated, I am very grateful to the staff for helping me regain the strength to go home. When I was admitted, I was on a ventilator, feeding tube, and unable to speak. The respiratory therapists, floor nurses, and occupational therapists all showed so much compassion and teamwork throughout this process. The facility is outstanding and makes you feel comfortable, and I made many friends during my stay. While I’m sad to leave my new connections, I’m excited that I was able to reach my goal and discharge home!

“I would like to extend our most sincere thanks for all the care and compassion your staff showed to our Uncle Chuck during his stay at Shepherd of the Valley Liberty. We were all very pleased with the professionalism and genuine concern you showed him and our family members.”

“I just wanted to take a moment to let you know how pleased I am with the staff at Shepherd of the Valley Boardman. I could move my mother to closer and newer facilities, but I wouldn’t dream of it. The entire staff is kind, compassionate, and caring and they make sure there is some type of activity every day, including weekends. I would highly recommend this facility to anyone who is seeking care for a loved one.”

“My time in the Dialysis Den was wonderful. This is a home, not an institution. I liked going to the Dialysis Den because it was short, I didn’t get so tired, and I didn’t have to have my husband take me out in the cold. This experience was so nice and convenient. If I ever need to return to a facility, Shepherd of the Valley Boardman is at the top of my list.”

“We cannot thank you enough for the beautiful flowers and kind words shared for our father. The last few years have been an absolute joy for him – He loved each and every one of you! He always had a smile on his face when he mentioned the staff. Your care and love for him will never be forgotten. We couldn’t have asked for a better community. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you.”

“You gave me my life back. The staff taught me how to eat, speak, and walk again.”
