Samaritan Suites

Samaritan Suites sits at 601 Main Street in Arapahoe, Nebraska, as part of the Good Samaritan Society network, focusing on providing a safe and supportive place for older people and others who need care. The community offers several care options, including assisted living, independent living, memory care for folks with dementia or other cognitive needs, and skilled nursing in the Medicare-certified C.A. Mues unit, which goes a step further by offering physical, occupational, and speech therapy. Residents can pick from different apartment layouts, either studios or suites, all of which come with private bathrooms with fiberglass shower stalls, built-in seats, grab bars, and kitchenettes with a fridge and microwave, along with carpeted rooms, individually controlled heating and air conditioning, and emergency response systems. Shelter, support, and basic daily help-like bathing, dressing, and managing medications-stand at the core of daily life, all under the mission of sharing God's love in both word and deed through ties to the Evangelical Lutheran Good Samaritan Society, so folks can find spiritual comfort too. Meals are provided by chefs and meal planners, and the kitchens serve three a day with snacks, while community amenities like indoor areas, on-site and off-site activities, and religious gatherings aim to help people stay active and connected. Medicaid Waiver certification, home health care (including non-medical home care), long-term skilled nursing, hospice, and adult day services mean needs big and small get addressed, with staff on hand day and night for safety and medication reminders. Optional extras, like a beauty salon, help with laundry, guest meals, or transportation to appointments, are available for a fee. Residents find privacy with individually locked apartments, and maintenance, paid utilities (except phone and cable), and regular housekeeping are part of the package. Folks here also appreciate features like heat and smoke detectors, telephone and cable outlets, and weekly linen laundry. Everyone can take part in social, recreational, or religious activities if they'd like, and those who need memory care receive extra support in routines and health services-like incontinence care, help for diabetes, and support for those who can't walk. Set up so people can get help when needed without needing to live in a full nursing home, Samaritan Suites emphasizes choice, comfort, and dignity for each person.
