Good Samaritan Society Spokane Valley is a senior living community that provides several levels of care, including independent living, assisted living, memory care, nursing home, respite care, and skilled nursing. The community's medium size means it's got 14 beds, and it offers both private and semi-private rooms, with studios and suites that come furnished for accessibility and comfort. Staff help residents with daily activities like bathing, dressing, and transferring, and they manage medication and work with healthcare providers as needed. There's 24-hour supervision, a secure memory care unit for residents with dementia, and a full team of registered staff, including therapists and nurses, for both long-term and short-term stays.
Residents get meals in communal dining rooms with restaurant-style service, and menus can be adapted for allergy-sensitive and diabetes diets, as well as special dietary needs. There are scheduled meal times and all-day dining, so there's always a way to get a bite when needed, and the private dining and catering services are available for special occasions. Housekeeping, linen, laundry, and dry cleaning services keep rooms fresh, and maintenance is part of the daily routine. Transportation is available for doctor visits, errands, and outings, and there's parking on-site.
The community includes walking paths, gardens, and landscaped outdoor spaces for relaxing or getting fresh air. Inside, residents have access to a recreation center with shuffleboard and billiards, a lap pool and Jacuzzi in the community center, an art studio, a woodworking shop, inviting lounges and dining areas, and even an indoor sidewalk café. The activity program includes music, movie nights, arts and crafts, talent shows, lectures, outings, and dances, and there are daily scheduled activities to promote social connections. There's also a wellness center offering physical, occupational, and speech therapy, plus therapy suites for more intensive rehabilitation, and even aquatic therapy.
Residents' safety is a priority, with an emergency alert system and 24-hour security. Specialized care services like orthopedic rehabilitation, cardiac and stroke recovery, wound care, lymphedema care, oncology care, palliative care, IV antibiotics, post-acute and inpatient rehab, hospice care, and memory care are all part of what the staff provide. General counseling, chaplain and worship services, and community engagement programs help support emotional and spiritual health.
Recent renovations have improved comfort and functionality throughout the community. Residents can participate in educational classes at the computer learning center, enjoy music programs and cable TV, and spend time in the community room. Health care coordination helps with smooth transitions, especially if someone's care needs change, and individualized care plans make sure each resident's needs and wishes are respected. Good Samaritan Society Spokane Valley accepts Medicare and Medicaid, and has a nursing home rated two stars by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, and residents on average rate the community 7.6 out of 10. The community's operated by a nonprofit corporation and is part of the Good Samaritan Society network, with a focus on compassionate, holistic, and individualized care. While the facility's had a flag for abuse in the past year, it continues to be overseen by certified staff and maintains above-average medical care in its skilled nursing unit, and families might want to consider this when making decisions.
