Good Samaritan Society - Stillwater

Good Samaritan Society - Stillwater is a non-profit nursing home with 50 certified beds, usually caring for about 38 residents each day, and it's been managed by the Evangelical Lutheran Good Samaritan Society since January 2019. The staff gives about 3.73 nurse hours per resident each day, but the nurse turnover rate is pretty high at almost 64%, which means residents often see different nurses over time. Residents get access to physical, occupational, and speech therapy, and both inpatient and outpatient rehabilitation are available, so care keeps going even after leaving the building. The place has modern spaces, roomy living areas, and outdoor spots where people can meet and move around, and meals focus on good nutrition with quality ingredients. The facility covers a lot, including skilled nursing, short-term rehab, memory care for those with Alzheimer's or other dementia, assisted living for help with daily needs, and even home care, so folks can get support in several ways depending on what's needed, and they say their memory care is set up to help reduce confusion and wandering for people living with memory loss. They mention a focus on a compassionate, inclusive community, and staff are noted as being joyful, helpful, and kind, and the facility's won Best of Senior Living awards along with other community honors for activities that help residents stay social, physical, and engaged. Good Samaritan Society - Stillwater is affiliated with UFCW1189 union, with Abraham Wangnoo and Claudia Garavalia acting as representatives or stewards, and there are worksite documents like "Stillwater Good Sam 2023-2026" and vaccine policies meant for staff. The place does have deficiencies recorded, with a total of 29 inspection deficiencies, including two related to infection control, and the latest official inspection report from January 30, 2025, notes four deficiencies, including areas in resident rights and quality of life and care, so there's room for improvement in serving residents' needs and safety. Still, the facility's part of the larger Good Samaritan Society network, which is known for a faith-based and caring approach, but there isn't much detail provided about exact services, features, or unique amenities specific to Stillwater itself, so folks might want to ask more questions before making any decisions.
