Good Samaritan Society - Bethany runs on a non-profit model with 79 certified beds in Brainerd, and its last health inspection came in December 2025. The 15 deficiencies on file include none at the harm level and none tied to abuse. Nurse staffing sits at 3.81 hours per resident day, roughly 1% under the national average, and weekend coverage drops about 16% below its own weekday levels, a gap worth asking about if your family visits primarily on Saturdays and Sundays. Staff turnover is the standout number: 27.8% against a national average of 45.8%, meaning aides and nurses here tend to stay considerably longer than elsewhere.

Good Samaritan Society - Woodland runs 40 certified beds as a nonprofit corporation, and its inspection record is the strongest part of the story: a five-star health inspection rating, with the last visit on February 11, 2026 and just three deficiencies on file. One of those three rose to the harm or jeopardy level, which is worth asking about directly, though none involved abuse. Where it gives ground is staffing. At 3.48 nurse hours per resident day, it sits roughly 10 percent under the national average, and weekends drop about 14 percent below its own weekday coverage. Turnover, at 44.9 percent, lands right around the national figure. Ask how weekends are covered before you decide.

Heartwood runs a tight ship on the staffing side, 4.30 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 11% above the national average, and that shows in a five-star staffing rating. The catch is weekends, when coverage drops about 12% below what the home provides on weekdays. Turnover sits at 46.3%, essentially matching the national rate, so continuity is neither a strength nor a glaring weakness here. Seven deficiencies on record, none involving harm, jeopardy, or abuse, and the most recent inspection was July 2025. Where the home gives ground is quality measures, at two stars, which drags an otherwise solid picture down to a B.
