Good Samaritan Society - Hays

Good Samaritan Society - Hays offers a wide range of services for older adults, so you've got independent living, assisted living, memory care, long-term skilled nursing, and home-based services like home health care, hospice, and non-medical home care, all in one place, and if a person just needs adult day services, they can find that here too, which makes it nice for anyone who wants to stay in the same community as care needs change, and there's a 48-bed skilled nursing facility as well as a 16-unit retirement apartment community, including Garden Terrace Apartments, so folks looking for senior apartments can find them here. The staff includes Skilled Nurses, Physical Therapists, Occupational Therapists, and Speech Therapists, and home health services are Medicare-Certified through Good Samaritan Society Home Health of Central Kansas, which means care at home after surgery, illness, or injury is possible, along with things like postsurgical care, wound care, therapy for recovery, and even pediatric care if needed. Residents get help with daily decisions, and families are involved from admittance onward, with support from social services and an activity coordinator planning daily programs and leisure activities. There's always someone on-call day or night, and the staff handles laundry, housekeeping, and maintenance, plus dining services are run by a Certified Dietary Manager, so residents get prepared meals. Folks get access to a rehab therapy gym, both inpatient and outpatient therapy sessions, medication management, and help with disease or symptom management. The nonprofit foundation, the Good Samaritan Foundation, helps support these services, and there's a five-member Board of Directors who oversee everything, so you know there's local guidance. The community puts focus on creating a warm, welcoming place where residents and staff work together, and it also belongs to the Kansas Association of Homes and Services for the Aging and the American Association of Homes and Services for the Aging. Tours can be arranged for anyone interested, and there's a commitment to caring for the whole person-body, mind, and spirit-while offering different programs, life enrichment, and daily living support in a setting designed to meet many different care needs.
