A huge thank you to Maddison, Amanda, Amy, Ashley.. For the last 6 months they were here each step of the way through our dad's journey with cancer and dementia. They instantly bonded with our family and took time to explain everything to us. We were able to keep my dad at home until the end. Our daddy went to be with the lord on august 2, 2026. The girls showed up to my dad's viewing last night to pay respects. I thought that was an awesome gesture of love for him. Thank you again for these wonderful ladies and all the support from Sheppards cove. Angie Alldredge and family

We brought my mother after receiving a terminal diagnosis our family knew nothing about. This place was our saving grace as a family for our loved one. They were not only angels to mom they were to us as well. We will forever be thankful for Shepherd's Cove for helping us walk our momma home.

I didn't have good feelings about Shepherd's Cove when they were "caring" for my mom. Now, after seeing a real hospice in action, my bad feelings are confirmed. There are good hospice organizations out there, but this one is definitely NOT good.
