Shepherd Pathways, a program of the Shepherd Center, is a dedicated outpatient and residential rehabilitation program for recovery from brain injuries. The facility is located in Decatur and previously exists as two buildings with administration, rehabilitation gym and equipment, and patient rooms supported by a collaborative treatment team. The design was meant to serve the Shepherd Pathways families and staff and to upgrade the facility to better support the entire patient, family, and staff experience.
Renovations included enhanced finishes throughout the 33,510 sf existing facility, a new gym, reorganized central administration area, and upgraded family lounges and dining amenities. Additionally, a new monumental lobby has been designed to unify the contemporary activity building with the traditional residential portion of the campus. The welcoming lobby features a large canopy for improved patient drop-off as well as a dedicated on-site registration area for new patients.
Overall, the renovations serve to enhance the Shepherd mission through providing a space where patients, families, and staff can focus on recovery in a healing, supportive environment.
