Resident & Family Testimonials

“We Are All Very Pleased…”

“The Entire Staff Is Kind, Compassionate, And Caring…”

“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…”

“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 Can’t Thank You Enough…”

“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.”
