Nursing Care at Good Samaritan Home falls into one of three categories: Intermediate, Skilled, or Medicare Skilled. There are dedicated nursing personnel to provide top quality, around-the-clock care. We can accommodate a wide variety of needs in nursing care.

Skilled care areas provide care for those who need physical, emotional, social, and other restorative services. This resident no longer needs the type of care and treatment provided in a hospital, but does require some frequent medical supervision and continuous skilled nursing observations. The program of care is directed toward the restoration of personal and social independence and health. Available resources, family and community are utilized to plan and reach realistic goals.

Residents are admitted into the Medicare Skilled level after a qualifying stay in the hospital. Good Samaritan offers both Medicare A and B Services.

Intermediate Care provides basic care including physical, emotional, social and other restorative services under periodic medical supervision. Many of these services, such as nursing care, may require skills in administration.

An intermediate care facility is designed to provide a protected environment for persons whose health needs require constructive supervision in an institutional setting to prevent deterioration and disability and maintain them at maximum level of self care and independence.
