Shepherd Home

                    Our Mission

                        Rooted in faith and love, we provide comfort 
                      and compassionate care to members of our 
                    community with a terminal illness, in a way
                  that cherishes the dignity of each individual and 
               meets their physical, emotional and spiritual 
           needs. We provide support to families and friends 
      and foster community acceptance that dying is an
integral part of living.

Beautiful New Signs at Shepherd Home Entrances


After many months of anticipation, our beautiful new signs are in place. In addition to replacing our old sign on Five Mile Line Road, there’s now a second sign on Whalen Road that will let people know what Shepherd Home is and where we’re located.

Many thanks to our generous donors Carol and Steve Preston, whose willingness and enthusiasm to make this happen will always be remembered. Carol and Steve both value the importance of volunteering. Carol is a 12-year hands-on volunteer at Shepherd Home. She also volunteers for the Ronald McDonald House and serves Thanksgiving meals at Community Lutheran Ministry. Steve has served for more than two decades as a volunteer firefighter and EMT for the Penfield Fire Department.
