Good Samaritan Society - Grants sits at 840 Lobo Canyon Rd in Grants, New Mexico, nestled among mesas, mountains, forests, and sandstone cliffs, which makes every view quite pretty, and folks coming from larger cities will find it's not too far from those either, so it feels both quiet and connected. Staff stand ready 24 hours a day to help residents, whether someone needs assistance moving from bed to wheelchair, getting insulin checked for diabetes, or urgent help in an emergency. Meals come prepared, so people don't have to worry about cooking or shopping, and there are nice indoor spaces where residents can spend time together, talk, and enjoy organized activities, social events, spiritual gatherings, and programs to support wellness and health-things like movement sessions and opportunities to meet with others.
This community has offered nursing home services, senior care, and post-acute rehab for more than 30 years in Grants, offering skilled nursing, short-term and long-term care, respite care, and memory support. There's also palliative and hospice care options for those who need it. People can choose intermediate care-which fits those who can't safely live alone anymore but don't need full-time skilled nursing-or join assisted living services that support with everyday things, like getting dressed, bathing, or taking medicine. Housekeeping staff help keep rooms clean and comfortable, and there are therapy staff for both physical and occupational needs, plus salon services for grooming, since feeling tidy can matter a lot. The nurses and therapists offer both inpatient and outpatient rehabilitation and support recovery with care that fits each person's needs, right down to programs and activities that fit individual goals and hobbies.
The facility takes part in a nationwide network through the Good Samaritan Society. It has a non-profit model and operates as a Continuing Care Retirement Community. Part of being Age-Friendly means staff look after what matters most to each resident-which includes monitoring medication, thinking skills, and keeping people moving as much as possible. The community keeps an eye on quality standards through data reported by CMS and hospitals, and people can see user ratings on AgeFriendly.com along with the star rating from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services. Average daily occupancy usually sits at around 23 residents, making the place feel active but not crowded, and there's always a staff member around to help or answer questions. Some people stay short-term after surgery or illness, while others make it home for months or years. Caregiver support and respite care also let family members take a break if needed. With wellness and rehabilitation services, organized activities, and a focus on comfort and belonging, Good Samaritan Society - Grants tries to create a community where seniors feel safe, at home, and engaged in life.
