At first I thought this was a very nice place to place my mom I had a sign on her closet door saying family will do laundry aides didn’t pay attention to the note two of her clothing went missing and I inform the office stuff that they could keep them I didn’t want them back cause you washing everyone stuff together.couple days later another item went missing couple more days went by two more items was missing so a total of five clothing. No one seems to care or say we can reimburse you for your items so it’s like I donated to the facility,all they could say was I’m sorry . Why should I put her Name on her clothes when I stated family will do laundry common sense. Please don’t place your love ones in a nursing home take care of them yourself no one will love on them like you. Aides don’t play attention and stuff act like they don’t care about the residents stuff. Very Disappointed.

I would not send a loved one here. My mom died here more than likely because of not getting the care she needed. No communication with nurses or a doctor. I had to call hospice myself . They were great. Mom lasted a day. All they cared about was getting mom’s money for Medicaid. I have to live with this guilt of not speaking up more about her care. Do not have a loved one here long term.

First it is no longer Good Samaritan. ENVIVE purchased Good Sam's and the place is steadily going down hill. The rooms do not get cleaned patients don't receive proper hygiene care, ENVIVE a is a dump when compared to Good Samaritan
