Good Samaritan Society - Atkinson - Assisted Living sits at 409 Neely Street in Atkinson, Nebraska, and offers a mix of senior living options, so folks get care that fits what they need, and it's part of the Good Samaritan Society network, which means they're connected to their Prairie Winds facility too, and between both places they cover assisted living, memory care, independent living, respite care, rehabilitation, home care, adult day services, skilled nursing, hospice, long-term care, and home health care that's Medicare-certified. People who want help with daily tasks but still like their independence might find the assisted living apartments suit them, since caregivers can help with things like bathing, dressing, medication, moving around, eating, and keeping healthy, but it's not the kind of place with constant skilled nursing unless someone moves up to that level of care, and they do keep trained staff on hand all hours for safety and support.
Residents get three homemade meals each day, and they can ask for special diets if they have conditions like diabetes or high blood pressure, and for social or relaxing times there's a garden, regular movie nights, walking paths, game rooms, book rooms, and even things like a business room for personal needs, while organized activities range from craft groups to fitness classes to music and animal therapy, plus outings in the community, devotional programs, and scheduled transportation for errands or doctor visits. Rooms come as studios or suites, with furnishing and emergency alert systems, and folks can take part in laundry, housekeeping, and have the option for a traveling hairdresser or staff-assisted spa days, so there's a bit of comfort along with care, and if you need help getting in or out of the tub or with hygiene, caregivers can provide that, and they're also trained for non-ambulatory care, insulin shots, incontinence support, and two-person assist transfers.
The community's filled with common spaces indoors and out, some folks enjoy the library while others like the game and activity rooms, and family can come for visits or special events, and if relief care is needed for a week or so, they offer respite stays, plus there's extra support for those needing rehabilitation after an illness or surgery. Staff focus on both safety and helping people feel cared for, and regular events with music, exercise, and games keep residents busy if they wish. They've received top ratings from reviewers, but what stands out is that they strive for a nurturing place where residents can live as fully as possible with supports for mind, body, and spirit, so everyone gets care suited to their needs. Their hours run from 8:00 AM to 4:30 PM Monday through Friday, and more information is available at good-sam.com.
