    Clean, caring community; highly recommended

    I placed my mom here and I'm very pleased - the place is very clean, well organized, and the staff truly care and provide very good care. Rooms are large enough for personal furniture, nurses are accessible, and the community encourages independence with monthly lunches and student volunteer visits; there's even a waiting list for cottages, so I recommend it.

    Summary of reviews

    Reviews of Good Samaritan Home present a mixed picture, with clear strengths around physical accommodations and community programming but recurring operational concerns affecting day-to-day care. Many families describe large, clean rooms that accommodate personal furniture, a campus-style layout with cottage and dorm options, and organized elements such as a waiting list for cottages. Several accounts also highlight positive interactions with volunteers and community events that contribute to a social environment.

    Care quality and staff conduct are the most variable areas in the reviews. Positive comments emphasize helpful, encouraging staff and programs that support residents’ independence and rehabilitation toward returning home. Conversely, other reviewers describe delays in clinical responsiveness, inconsistent assistance from nursing and aide staff, and behaviors they found unprofessional. Taken together, these comments suggest an uneven experience across shifts and units—some families receive attentive, supportive care while others encounter significant delays or communication issues.

    Dining and activity programming are also inconsistent themes. Some residents and families appreciate the social meals and occasional special events, but others note small portions, variable food quality, and recent increases in charges for on-site dining. Rehabilitation and exercise offerings are described as limited by several reviewers, and activity schedules appear to be modest rather than extensive.

    Facility upkeep and organization are generally viewed positively: reviewers frequently mention cleanliness and well-maintained interior spaces despite an older building. However, there are repeated concerns about management and oversight. Several comments point to leadership and communication gaps, staff turnover that reduces available direct-care time, and broader inconsistencies in clinical supervision. In addition, there are serious allegations by some families regarding staff theft or financial misconduct that would merit follow-up with the provider and regulators.

    For prospective residents and families, the pattern to note is variability. The facility appears capable of providing a clean, comfortable environment and can deliver supportive, independence-focused care, but those outcomes are not uniform. When considering Good Samaritan Home, visitors should observe staffing levels at different times of day, ask about average response times for nursing calls, review staffing turnover and training practices, inspect recent inspection and complaint records, clarify meal costs and portioning policies, and meet with leadership to discuss clinical oversight and incident resolution processes.

    About Good Samaritan Home

    Good Samaritan Home sits on a big 40-acre campus at 2130 Harrison Street in Quincy, Illinois, and it serves over 400 seniors with a wide mix of living and care options on one main campus and at Cherry Lanes Estates, so if you're thinking about downsizing and want to stay active while keeping your own space, there are 184 independent living cottages, some built as duplexes and quadruplexes, that come in different sizes and styles-one- and two-bedroom units, some with garages or carports, and some on Cherry Lane with a one-car garage, plus pet-friendly ones for an extra fee. Residents in the cottages don't have to mow lawns or fix things because rent covers all inside and outside maintenance, lawn care, and utilities, except phone, internet, cable, and garbage stickers, and nearly everything on campus is open 24/7. When seniors need more care, there's assisted living for folks who can live mostly on their own but need a bit of help, and the staff is always there, with a nurse ready to answer phone calls in an emergency, and the community gives priority in placement for nursing care or assisted living based on application date, so putting a name on the list early is important. The campus includes sheltered care, skilled nursing, and Alzheimer's or dementia care, as well as short-term rehabilitation, and a physical therapy team works with families and other staff to help people recover or stay healthy. Good Samaritan Home describes itself as a Life Plan Community, which means folks don't have to move if their care needs change, and services and amenities on campus include buffet-style dining, aquatic fitness facilities, and activities like pool classes, social outings, entertainment, and daily chapel services. The home focuses on Christian values like caring service, comfort, and protection, and tries to keep a warm, community feeling where people can make friends, feel safe, and have a say in their own lives, with staff levels above the state minimum to make sure nobody gets left behind. Family-centered services, spiritual support, and programs for engagement and health are all part of daily life, and cottages are for people age 55 and older. There's no telehealth available, but if someone wants to know more details or see what's coming up, the website is gshq.org.
