Good Samaritan Society - Arthur - Prairie Villa

Good Samaritan Society - Arthur - Prairie Villa sits at 150 County Road 34 in Arthur, North Dakota, and offers several options for seniors who want help with daily living or need extra care as their needs change, and you'll find different building types here, including apartments and independent living cottages, all set up to make life safe and comfortable for older folks. The Prairie Villa part of the campus provides assisted living services, and the larger Good Samaritan Society - Arthur location covers care like skilled nursing, basic care, and long-term non-acute care, as well as help for those who need it because of diabetes, trouble walking, or incontinence. The place has 56 licensed basic care beds but doesn't have certified nursing facility or assisted living beds, though licensed basic care services do get provided here, and residents get options for independent living, basic care, memory care, and rehabilitation therapy, alongside healthcare staffing and other health supports. Meals get planned and cooked by their staff, and there are usually activities on-site, devotional gatherings, and chances to volunteer-some folks help keep the grounds tidy or take part in other events to stay busy, and offsite trips are arranged as well. Administrator Mary Vangerud Leraas leads the staff, and the facility's recognized with the 2024 Bronze National Quality Award for its standards of care. Emergency planning and response at the facility gets handled by Pete Von Hagen, and the whole operation runs with a faith-based approach, sharing God's love through health, comfort, and other supports for residents and families. Home-based services and caregiver help are part of their offerings too, but, for anyone who wants to use Medicare, services need to be certified by CMS before being covered. Overall, the community emphasizes comfort, a safe home, and enough choices to help people stay as independent as possible for as long as they can.
