F requently <strong>Asked</strong> <strong>Questions</strong> <strong>Continued</strong><br />
Q. Can I come to the <strong>Good</strong> <strong>Samaritan</strong> <strong>Society</strong> for a short-term rehab stay and then return to my home?<br />
A. Absolutely! Many of our residents have come for therapy and strengthening after an injury or fall.<br />
Q. What is Medicaid?<br />
A. Medicaid is a government long-term health program aimed at those who need long-term care and<br />
who meet financial limits for assistance with payments. If you have financial concerns, please contact<br />
your financial advisor or the Social Service Department.<br />
Q. May a person use his or her personal physician?<br />
A. We encourage you to use your personal physician if he/she practices locally. Your care is important to<br />
us, and we want your physician to be able to have regular contact with you and monitor your health<br />
needs. If you need to find a local physician, our Social Service department can help with that referral.<br />
Q. If I am planning to stay for a long period of time, can I bring my own furnishings?<br />
A. We encourage you to make your room your own with decorations and furnishings, understanding that<br />
space and safety need to be considered. We may need to use one of our beds to assist our staff with the<br />
care you deserve.<br />
Q. Are cable TV and phone service provided?<br />
A. Basic cable is provided in all of our rooms. There is a phone outlet<br />
in all rooms; it is the resident/family’s responsibility to contact the<br />
phone company to establish services. Social Services can assist if<br />
contact information is needed.<br />
