The organization is also extending generous bonuses to RNs and LPNs, underscoring its commitment to attracting and retaining quality caregivers who want meaningful, long-term employment in senior care.​

Sign-on bonus amounts

Good Shepherd Home’s new 2026 bonus program offers tiered incentives based on role and employment status. Qualified applicants can earn the following:​

• 6 months of employment

• 12 months of employment

• 18 months of employment

• 24 months of employment​

To receive each installment, staff must be actively employed and maintain their current status as full time, part time, or casual at the time of payment.​

Key eligibility requirements

The 2026 sign-on bonus program includes several important conditions that applicants should understand.​

• Hire/start dates must fall between January 1, 2026 and December 1, 2026.​

• Rehires are eligible if they have been away from Good Shepherd Home for at least 6 months.​

• Employees may only participate in one bonus program at a time.​

• $300 is deducted from the bonus for each scheduled day missed, reinforcing the importance of reliable attendance for residents and team members alike.​

These guidelines are meant to ensure that the bonuses reward consistent commitment and presence on the care team.​

A supportive, mission-driven workplace

Good Shepherd Home emphasizes a culture of support, teamwork, and purpose-driven work, inviting caregivers who want to “make a difference” in residents’ lives. Staff can expect collaboration with coworkers, a faith-based environment, and leadership that recognizes the value of frontline caregivers.​
