Good Samaritan Society - Hays runs 4.06 nurse hours per resident per day, a bit above the national average, and its weekend coverage dips about 13% below weekdays, worth asking about if your family visits mainly on Saturdays and Sundays. Staff turnover sits at 28.8% against a national 45.8%, which matters because familiar faces tend to know residents' routines. The inspection record is recent (February 2025) and clean at the harm level: 23 deficiencies total, none causing harm or jeopardy, though one is abuse-related, so ask how that was resolved. Ownership is nonprofit corporate, and the staffing and inspection ratings both come in at five stars.
