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