Good Samaritan Care Center

Good Samaritan Care Center, also called Good Samaritan Nursing Home, sits under the operation of Purple Door, LLC, and has been serving seniors for many years with a range of care options like assisted living, independent living, memory care, continuing care, and even hospice and respite services if someone needs those, and the place tries to keep things comfortable and safe for everyone, even folks living with disabilities or certain diseases. The community has a dedicated team of senior care advocates who answer questions and help families or visitors schedule tours online, so people can actually come see the facilities, meet the staff which includes R.N.s, L.P.N.s, Certified Medication Technicians, Nurse Assistants, On-Call Physicians, a Dietitian, Social Services Director, and Activities Director, and you'll see everyone during a visit making the place run smoothly, with these tours letting folks try out community life for themselves and making things feel a bit more like home. There are care services shaped around each resident's needs, including Alzheimer's care, physical, occupational, and speech therapy from Paul Chang & Associates, and around-the-clock personal and medical care, plus weekly meetings to set up and review everyone's care plans with the resident and family being included too, and that's something a lot of folks appreciate. The building expanded in 2003, so now there's a large activity room, an area for families, and the original older side got remodeled in 2010 to improve dining spaces, halls, and resident areas, which helps keep things welcoming and up to date without losing the homey feel, and all rooms come with basic cable TV for comfort, and there are outdoor and indoor sitting spaces for visiting, playing cards, or having a chat. Good Samaritan Care Center also offers a beauty salon right on site, run by a licensed beautician, so getting a haircut or style doesn't mean leaving the community, and cleaning is all handled by the caregivers, so the environment stays tidy and easy to live in, with meals made by a dietary department for health and taste. Activities play a big part here, with weekly games like bingo, arts and crafts, cooking classes, live music, field trips, pitch, toss-off, high roller, and sometimes outings to the fair or barbecues, and they also hold Family Nights for residents and loved ones to enjoy food and entertainment together, plus community events, fundraisers, and other gatherings that help people stay connected. For doctor or hospital visits, van trips are arranged at a small cost, and outside specialists like podiatry, vision care, psychiatry, x-ray, and lab services come to the facility as needed, so a lot of needs get taken care of on site. Memory care and hospice programs offer compassionate end-of-life care, and the team works to make sure everybody feels supported, with activities and spaces for visitors and residents to spend time together.
