Good Samaritan Society - Newell

Good Samaritan Society - Newell is a nonprofit senior living community out on Highway 7, where folks find different levels of care like assisted living, nursing home care, independent living, memory care, and continuing care retirement community services, and you've got caregivers on staff who speak English, which makes it easier for many to feel at home. The staff know how to help with bathing, dressing, and moving around, and they'll manage medicines and offer 24-hour supervision for people who need it. The place has a good nursing home rating with quality care, strong staff, and clean facilities. You'll see furnished rooms, an emergency alert system, and help with moving in, while the housekeeper and laundry services keep things tidy. They offer meal preparation and meal service in a community dining room, and the kitchen prepares meals all day, with special menus for food allergies and diabetes, and chefs work alongside meal planners so people get good, healthy food. There's also space for community activities, a movie night area, an arts room for crafts, a garden to walk in, and walking paths for fresh air, and you'll find a barber and salon, a therapist/beauty salon, and even a resident-run activities program. The facility has both indoor and outdoor areas for relaxing or joining programs, and you'll see devotional activities for people who want them. For those needing extra health care, there's high acuity care, post-acute rehab, incontinence and diabetic support, and care for people who can't walk easily, plus hospice services for those at the end of life and telehealth if you need care from a distance. The staff offer both on-site and offsite activities to keep people active and social, and you've got a good selection of clothes and shoes for different needs, with things like open-back tops and elastic waist pants for folks who need more help getting dressed. The community operates Monday through Friday, from 8 AM to 5 PM, serving seniors and others needing housing and health services in the Newell area.
