Good Samaritan Society - Le Mars

Good Samaritan Society - Le Mars sits at 1140 Lincoln St NE in Le Mars, Iowa, and stands out in the area for its positive reviews and several awards, like Best of Senior Living and All-Star awards, which isn't something every place gets, and you'll hear from folks that the staff here always seems friendly, and that friendliness kind of shapes the whole community. The facility offers plenty to do with on-site activities, group events, and even devotional times, so people can stay socially and mentally active, but there are also offsite trips for a change of scene. There are common areas, meals served with a focus on nutrition, and both indoor and outdoor spaces set up for comfort and convenience. When it comes to care, Good Samaritan Society - Le Mars provides nursing home care, assisted living, memory care, rehab, and outpatient therapy, and those who need diabetic care, incontinence care, or non-ambulatory services can get help here, too. Skilled nursing is available around the clock, and professional rehab staff works with those who want to regain independence after an illness or surgery, not only with inpatient services but outpatient therapy as well, and care plans are made and reviewed so each resident gets what they need. There's always a focus on preventing infection-though you'll find that past inspection reports did show some issues including infection control, and the management, which has been run by The Evangelical Lutheran Good Samaritan Society since January 2019, keeps working to address these things. On average, about 59 people live here each day, and there are 70 certified beds, with nurse staffing around 3.10 hours per resident each day, which matters when folks want to know if care is available. The facility has a Physical Therapy Clinic and is licensed under provider number 292752 and NPI 1336139906, with services updated in the directory monthly, but they're not taking new residents right now, and there are no telehealth or non-English language services at this time. Service hours run Monday through Friday, 8 AM to 5 PM, and the staff wants to make sure residents feel comfortable and get help for their body, mind, and spirit all along the way. Residents and families tend to say that care here is thoughtful and individualized, and although the building isn't perfect, you get a sense they're trying to make it a supportive place for folks living out their later years with access to long-term care, short-term rehab, and all kinds of programs designed to keep people as well as possible.
