About Good Shepherd Community Care and Rehabilitation

+
Good Shepherd Community Care and Rehabilitation is a nonprofit skilled nursing and rehabilitation facility serving the residents of Lockwood, Missouri and the surrounding Dade County communities. Located at 200 West 12th Street, Good Shepherd embodies the spirit of its name — offering expert clinical care with genuine compassion in the heart of southwest Missouri's pastoral Ozarks landscape. As a nonprofit organization, Good Shepherd Community Care operates with a mission centered on service rather than profit. This means every decision — from staffing levels to rehabilitation programming — is driven by what is best for residents. The nonprofit model also enables the facility to serve a broad range of residents, including those relying on Medicare and Medicaid, without compromising on the quality of care delivered. The facility provides skilled nursing care, post-acute rehabilitation, and long-term residential support. Physical, occupational, and speech therapists work alongside licensed nurses to help residents recover from hospitalization, surgery, or health events and, where possible, return to greater independence. For acute hospital needs, Heartland Regional Medical Center in Nevada, Missouri — located approximately 30 miles to the north — serves as the region's primary hospital resource, providing emergency, surgical, and specialty services for Dade County residents. Lockwood is a small, tight-knit community in Dade County with deep roots in southwest Missouri's agricultural heritage. The nearby town of Greenfield, the Dade County seat, provides essential services, local dining, and community events that keep residents connected to the region's civic life. Pomme de Terre Lake, one of the Ozarks' beloved recreation areas, lies to the east and draws families and outdoor enthusiasts year-round for boating, fishing, and scenic drives. For families seeking skilled nursing and rehabilitation care with a strong nonprofit mission, rooted in a close community, and backed by accessible regional healthcare, Good Shepherd Community Care and Rehabilitation offers a thoughtful, values-driven choice in southwest Missouri. Residents here are cared for with the attentiveness and dignity that the facility's name has always promised.
