More About Good Shepherd Home

Watford City, ND 58854

The Good Shepherd Home was opened on January 8, 1964. The Lutheran Churches of McKenzie County, in conjunction with the Arnegard Old Folks Home, had a vision of providing Christian care to the aging residents of their community. The first board of directors included Lee Stenehjem, Murphy Ecklund, Ivan Omlid, Sidney Swenson, and Paul Berge. In 1994 the Basic Care Addition was added. In 1987 the Heritage Senior Apartments were added and in 2000 the Horizon Assisted Living Facility opened their doors.

McKenzie County Healthcare Systems is a facility supported by the Christian churches in our community. We are committed to excellence and service in a person-centered environment that respects the human life of all, regardless of race, creed, color, national origin, disability, pregnancy, sex and/or marital status.
