History
Good Shepherd Fairview Home resulted from a merger in 1968 of two smaller homes: The House of the Good Shepherd (Episcopal), founded in 1870 on Conklin Avenue, and The Fairview Home (Presbyterian), founded in 1891 as The Home for Aged Women on Fairview Avenue. A board of directors, selected from Episcopal and Presbyterian churches and the community at large, governs the Home. The present building was constructed between 1972 and 1981. In 1993 an expansion was added to the east wing. Many areas of the Home were renovated in 2008. These renovations resulted in an environment throughout the Home that fosters person-centered care.
Vision and Mission
Good Shepherd Fairview Home envisions enabling older adults to meet their continuing needs of care, support, and assistance through high quality, affordable, and innovative housing and long-term care services and facilities. We value highly the dignity of those we serve, promoting their independence, self-determination, life enrichment, wellness, and well-being. The Home will always foster respect, compassion, benevolence, and social responsibility among all involved.
