My lovely wife was in hospice care at Good Sam for a few days before she passed. The care and compassion shown by the staff was outstanding. I cannot recommend this facility highly enough.

We just want to say that Ray hemphill has been treated first class at Good Samaritan. Jeanette Sevart and Tammy is a very, very thoughtful and good nurse and so we really really appreciate the entire organization as being first class and very caring in the name of the good Lord.
