Good Samaritan Home & Rehabilitative Center is a senior living community in Oakland City, Indiana, offering short-term rehabilitation, memory care, long-term care, respite care, hospice care, and outpatient therapy services.
Short-term rehabilitation is designed for those recovering from stroke, cardiovascular difficulties, orthopedic surgery, and other debilitating conditions, with the goal of helping participants return home safely. Services include physical, occupational, and speech/language therapies provided by an interdisciplinary team of doctors, nurses, therapists, and social workers. The community offers a Road to Recovery program where the team, patient, and family meet within 72 hours of admission to map out discharge goals and identify ways to improve strength, independence, and quality of life. Additional services include wound care, fall prevention, mobility training, strength-building wellness programs, and aerobic conditioning.
The memory care program is structured and research-based, utilizing a person-centered, wellness-based model of care with stimulating daily activities designed to maintain independence and promote a sense of belonging and meaning. Long-term care serves those who struggle with daily tasks and can no longer be cared for at home, provided by licensed nurses and specially-trained health care aides in home-like, cheerful settings. Respite care offers short-term stays for caregivers needing a break from their responsibilities, while hospice and palliative care provide comfort and pain management for those facing terminal illness through an interdisciplinary team approach.
Outpatient therapy programs combine highly-trained therapists with the latest technologies to address mobility, pain management, and post-operative recovery through physician-approved interventions. The community accepts a wide variety of payment options, including Medicaid for qualified applicants, and employs Medicaid specialists to assist families through the application process.
