Good Samaritan Society, Mountain Lake runs 48 certified beds as a nonprofit, and its staffing story is mixed. Total nurse hours come in at 3.73 per resident day, a bit under the national average of 3.86, and weekends drop roughly 15% below the home's own weekday coverage, worth asking about if your family visits or calls on Saturdays and Sundays. Turnover sits at 35.3%, well below the national 45.8%, so the people caring for residents tend to stay. Inspections show a middle-of-the-road picture: 12 deficiencies on record, 3 of them at the harm level, with one fine of $14,069 and a recent July 2025 survey.

Good Samaritan Society-Westbrook runs 32 certified beds as a nonprofit corporation, and its staffing story is mixed. At 3.55 nurse hours per resident day, it sits about 8% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends drop roughly 16% below its own weekday level, so coverage thins out exactly when families tend to visit. Turnover is the bright spot: 29% against a national 45.8% means aides and nurses here tend to stay, which matters for consistency of care.
On inspections, the record shows 14 deficiencies with none at harm or jeopardy level and nothing abuse-related, most recently surveyed March 2026. Quality measures score low, so ask what those specifically reflect.

Good Samaritan Society - Windom has the staff to do the work: 4.47 nurse hours per resident day, about 16 percent above the national average, and a 40.7 percent turnover rate that's better than the typical home. Those numbers earn a 4 out of 5 staffing rating. The trouble is what inspections keep finding. The current record shows 35 deficiencies, three of them abuse-related and one serious enough to put a resident in harm's way, plus a single $194,680 fine. CMS rates the inspection and quality domains just 1 out of 5 each, and the last full inspection was February 2026. Staffing can't offset a record like that, no matter how good the hours look.
