Good Samaritan Society - St. John's

Good Samaritan Society - St. John's sits in Kearney, Nebraska, and offers different types of senior living, including independent living, assisted living, and nursing home care, so people can choose what fits them best, and they switch care levels if they need it over time, because some folks just want someone to take care of yard work and housekeeping while others come for help with daily tasks or for memory care since there's support for Alzheimer's and dementia, and the place also runs a Skilled Nursing Facility for folks with more serious medical needs. People living here can get meals, utilities included, rides when needed, and there are big senior apartments, twin homes, and duplexes for those looking for affordable housing, all coming with an emergency response system which lets someone get help fast if something goes wrong. The Rehabilitation Center at St. John's handles both inpatient and outpatient rehab if someone's recovering from an illness or surgery, and the center covers caregiver support and short-term rehabilitation along with long-term care, so families also get help when they need a break. The staff can help with different health needs, like incontinence care, diabetes support, and care for people who can't walk, and the nursing staff handles high-acuity cases too. You'll see a calendar packed with religious services, crafts, games, offsite and onsite activities, health programs, and entertainment, so people can fill their days if they want, and there's a focus on treating everyone with dignity and caring for body, mind, and spirit. Residents can use common areas indoors, take part in devotional activities, and join in both group and private moments. The setting feels homelike, and the idea is to make folks feel valued and peaceful, especially since there are hospice services if needed. The community does offer social media and online tools with some Facebook connection and a way for folks to post their own pictures, which means families can keep in touch more easily. Reviews run mixed at around 2.9 out of 5, so experiences can vary, and people looking to move in will want to check if space is available since they aren't always taking new residents. The whole thing runs under the Good Samaritan Society, which is known around Nebraska, and the staff speak English. St. John's lists itself for assisted living, independent living, rehab therapy, and all kinds of healthcare and caregiving, but office hours shift, so you'd want to call or check their website for up-to-date info.
