Good Samaritan Health Care Center

Long-term care is offered for people with chronic illnesses or conditions who are unable to care for themselves. The team creates a care plan for each resident with input from family and medical professionals.

Long-term care addresses medical and nonmedical needs through therapeutic care, skilled nursing, social services and dietary services.

Rehabilitation therapy includes physical therapy for movement, mobility and strength, and occupational therapy that may work on coordination and skills for daily activities.

Speech and language therapy is available for residents whose illness affects communication.

The rehabilitation team coordinates with skilled nursing staff and family on a recovery plan. When a resident is going home after therapy, the team works on a transition plan, including family training and recommendations for community resources. Outpatient therapy is also available for additional strengthening after returning home.

Short-term respite stays are offered for home caregivers who need a break.
