Your Donation Helps Provide Premium Senior Care in Saratoga

It was nearly 150 years ago that the Episcopal tradition of being a neighbor to those in need sparked the creation of what would become the Home of the Good Shepherd. Today, we continue to raise the standards to deliver the highest-quality, premium care that our more than 240 residents deserve.

Supporting the Home of the Good Shepherd Helps Us Continue to Provide the Best Possible Services
Home of the Good Shepherd is a 501 (c)(3) non-profit charitable organization affiliated with the Bethesda Episcopal Church located in Saratoga Springs.

We rely on donations from family, friends and community members to enhance the first-class programs and award winning services we provide our residents.
