I did clinicals here for my nursing assistant class and the staff and nurses I dealt with on the 4th floor were so friendly and caring. Everyone was really good at their job and I’m glad I got the opportunity to meet some of the residents. Thank you Samaritan Bethany for showing me so many things and teaching us!

I took the accelerated nursing assistant program in August 2025. My instructor was Anna Pence-Bouska. Nurse Anna helped me; she was passionate about it, teaching us the course. Nurse Anna used to encourage me and made me wanna to finish my nursing. Nurse Anna her encouragement affected how I look at things in life now. Nurse Anna was thoughtful, kind, and helpful. In my experience, nurse Anna made a difference in my life, went above and beyond. I appreciate you, Nurse Anna Pence-Bounka.

When I was young we came here to sing for the older folks. It has expanded alot since then. During "COVID-19" I sang around the outside for July4 and Christmas. This Christmass I sang inside and got to see how nice they made it. The center courtyard had a Nativity Scene! The Chapel is very nice. The folks were very nice and the staff was so kind as well. What an awesome activities staff they have. We shared an hour of music and their stories of Christmas 🎄 in bygone days. It softened my heart to be with my elders of my people.
