5 of the group's homes carry a CMS abuse icon.
4 homes are in or a candidate for the Special Focus Facility programme.
Good Samaritan Society - Ellsworth Village runs on 3.64 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly 6% under the national average, and weekends drop about 13% below its own weekday staffing. That gap matters in a 43-bed nonprofit home where turnover sits at 52.6% against a national 45.8%, meaning more than half the nursing staff leaves each year. The inspection record is genuinely strong, a 5/5 health inspection star and a recent survey, but it carries 18 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and one abuse-related, plus an $8,190 fine. Quality measures score 2/5. Stable inspections, thinner daily coverage.
Good Samaritan Society - Pipestone runs 82 certified beds as a nonprofit, and its strongest number is staffing: 3.70 nurse hours per resident day, about 4% under the national average of 3.86. That's a modest gap, but weekends drop roughly 14% below the home's own weekday coverage, and turnover sits at 51.7% against a national 45.8%, so the people around residents keep changing. The current inspection record shows 14 deficiencies, one serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, plus a single fine of $17,345. Quality measures score 2 out of 5, which lines up with that record. A May 2025 inspection means the picture is recent, at least.
Good Samaritan Society - Atkinson runs 61 beds as a nonprofit, and its clinical quality scores are genuinely strong, four out of five stars on CMS quality measures. The trouble sits elsewhere. Nurse staffing comes in around 3.44 hours per resident day, roughly 11% under the national average, and weekends run about 7% thinner than weekdays. Staff turnover is 68.3% a year against a national 45.8%, meaning most of the people caring for residents are relatively new. Then there's the inspection record: 43 deficiencies, including 6 abuse-related and 2 at the harm or jeopardy level, with a $22,653 fine. The most recent inspection was February 2026. Good care metrics don't cancel out thin coverage and a heavy survey history.
Salem Lutheran Home in Elk Horn runs 64 beds under corporate ownership, and its staffing numbers look solid at first glance, 3.86 nurse hours per resident day, right at the national average, with a four-star staffing rating. But weekends drop about 18% below weekday levels, and turnover sits at 63% against a national average of 45.8%, meaning most of the aides and nurses caring for residents are relatively new to the building. The health inspection record is the real concern: 46 deficiencies, including 7 tied to abuse and 3 serious enough to put residents in harm's way. State inspectors were last on site in June 2025.
Good Samaritan Society - Auburn is a nonprofit home with 102 beds, and its staffing sits at 3.54 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 8% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends run about 15% lighter than weekdays, so coverage thins out right when families tend to visit. Turnover is 35.6%, which is actually better than the 45.8% national figure, meaning the crew here is steadier than most. Nine deficiencies appear on the current record, none at the harm level and none abuse-related, with the last inspection dated February 2026. Quality measures score 2 out of 5, the weakest of its three federal ratings.
Good Samaritan - Forest City runs on a church-affiliated nonprofit model with 43 beds, and its staff tends to stay: turnover is 31%, well under the 45.8% national average. That stability matters in a small home. But daily nurse coverage sits at 3.49 hours per resident, about 10% under the national 3.86, and weekends drop roughly 9% below its own weekday staffing, so the hours thin out exactly when families tend to visit.
The inspection record shows 9 deficiencies, including 2 at harm or jeopardy level and 1 abuse-related, with $25,945 in fines across 2 penalties. The most recent inspection was August 2025. Quality measure scores come in at 2 out of 5 stars. Ask about the abuse-related citation and what changed since.
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.
Good Samaritan Society - Lakota runs 38 beds in a small Nelson County town, and the nursing hours tell a mixed story: 3.83 per resident day, just under the national figure, with weekends dropping about 24% below the home's own weekday staffing. Staff turnover is 44.7%, roughly in line with the national average, so retention isn't the problem here. The inspection record is. Twenty-seven deficiencies, two of them at harm or jeopardy level, plus two fines totaling $74,283, and a quality measure rating of 1 out of 5. The most recent inspection was June 2025, so the record is current. Nothing suggests abuse. But a home with this many cited problems and quality scores this low is one to visit unannounced and ask hard questions about.
Good Samaritan Society Luther Manor runs 92 beds under corporate ownership, and its staffing sits just barely above the national average, 3.94 nurse hours per resident day against 3.86. That thin edge narrows on weekends, when coverage drops roughly 16% below the home's own weekday level. Turnover runs 43.5%, a touch better than the 45.8% national figure. The harder numbers are on inspections: 20 deficiencies on the current record, 5 of them at harm or jeopardy level and one abuse-related, drawing two fines totaling $21,086. The most recent inspection was March 5, 2026. Families weighing this one should ask directly what changed since that survey, particularly around the harm-level findings.
Good Samaritan Society - Park River runs 44 certified beds as a nonprofit, and its last inspection was in August 2025. The staffing picture is mixed: 3.02 nurse hours per resident day sits roughly 22% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends dip about 17% below the home's own weekday coverage. Turnover runs 47.4%, slightly above the national 45.8%. On the record: 29 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level, though one is abuse-related, plus a single $42,181 fine. Federal ratings put staffing at 4 of 5 stars but inspections and quality measures at 2 each. The takeaway: adequate hands on weekdays, thinner on weekends, with inspection findings that warrant a closer look.
Good Samaritan Society Canton runs 56 certified beds as a nonprofit, and its 3.28 nurse staffing hours per resident day sit about 15% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends drop roughly 16% below its own weekday levels, and annual turnover of 54.2% tops the national figure of 45.8%, so even the four-out-of-five staffing star looks thinner once you see who's actually on the floor. The current record carries 8 deficiencies, 2 serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, and $19,615 in fines across two penalties. A May 2025 inspection is recent, and there's no abuse history, but a one-out-of-five quality measure rating points to real gaps in resident care.
Good Samaritan, Algona runs 72 certified beds as a nonprofit corporation, and it last cleared inspection in December 2025. Its nurses give 3.06 hours of care per resident per day, roughly a fifth below the national average of 3.86, and weekends drop about 14% below the home's own weekday staffing. Turnover sits at 41.8%, a bit better than the 45.8% national figure. The current record carries 27 deficiencies, three at harm or jeopardy level and four tied to abuse, plus one fine of $7,070. Quality measures scored 2 of 5 stars, so what's on paper is a home getting thinner weekday coverage than most and carrying a heavier-than-typical enforcement history.
Edgebrook Care Center runs on 2.45 nurse staffing hours per resident day, roughly 37 percent under the national average of 3.86, and the federal staffing rating lands at 1 out of 5 because of it. Weekend coverage tracks about 1 percent above weekdays, so that's not where the gap comes from. The inspection record shows 16 deficiencies, one serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy level, though none involve abuse; the health inspection rating sits at 2 out of 5, with the most recent survey done in November 2025. It's a 54-bed nonprofit, and the quality measure rating of 3 shows clinical care isn't failing across the board, the shortfall is hands on deck.
Good Samaritan Society - St John's runs 56 certified beds in Kearney under nonprofit ownership, and the staffing numbers are the first thing to notice. At 3.40 nurse hours per resident day, it sits about 12% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends drop roughly 18% below its own weekday level, so coverage thins out exactly when families tend to visit. Annual turnover of 51.1% runs above the 45.8% national figure, which means many of the people providing that care are still new to the building. The inspection record shows 29 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and two related to abuse, with the most recent survey dated April 2026.
Good Samaritan, Indianola runs 105 certified beds as a nonprofit corporation, and the numbers behind its record are hard to dress up. Nurse staffing sits at 3.19 hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, weekends run about 16% thinner than weekdays, and annual turnover hits 60.5% when the national figure is 45.8%, that combination makes consistent care hard to guarantee. The inspection record compounds it: 43 deficiencies, four of them at harm or jeopardy level, one abuse-related, and two fines totaling $20,316. Its most recent inspection was May 2026, so the picture is current, not stale. Families should ask directly how the home covers weekend shifts and what it has changed since that last survey.
Good Samaritan Society's Loveland Village runs a mixed picture. The nonprofit home holds 104 certified beds, and its 3.39 nurse hours per resident day sit about 12% under the national average, thinner still on weekends, when staffing drops roughly 13% below its own weekday level. Turnover is a genuine bright spot at 35.2%, well below the 45.8% national figure, and residents' quality measures earn top marks.
The inspection record is where families should slow down. Sixteen deficiencies are on file, five serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, three tied to abuse, with four fines totaling $51,424. The most recent inspection came January 29, 2026, so the findings are recent, not stale.
Good Samaritan Society - Bottineau carries a one-star health inspection rating, and the record behind it is heavy: 30 deficiencies, including three at the harm or jeopardy level and four tied to abuse. Federal fines total $110,247 across two penalties. Staffing is the one bright spot on paper, 3.59 nurse hours per resident day, close to the national average of 3.86, but weekend coverage drops roughly a fifth below its own weekday level, and turnover runs at 63.5% against a national 45.8%. That combination matters in a 52-bed home, where losing and replacing staff that often makes consistent care hard to sustain. The most recent inspection was March 2026.
Good Samaritan Society - Oakes runs 46 certified beds with nurse staffing at 3.23 hours per resident day, about 16% under the national average of 3.86, and weekends dip roughly another 10% below its own weekday levels. Half the nursing staff turned over in the past year, a bit above the 45.8% national figure. The record shows 18 deficiencies, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and three tied to abuse, plus a single fine of $8,281. Inspectors were last on site January 7, 2026, and the health inspection and quality measure ratings both sit at 2 out of 5, even as the staffing rating reaches 4.
Good Samaritan Society Sioux Falls Center runs 98 certified beds as a nonprofit, and its staffing sits at 3.58 nurse hours per resident day, about 7% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends drop roughly 12% below its own weekday coverage, which matters if your family visits or calls on Saturdays and Sundays. Turnover is 44.2%, a hair under the national 45.8%, so retention here isn't the problem. The inspection record is: 18 deficiencies, three of them at harm or jeopardy level and three tied to abuse, plus one fine of $11,261. The most recent inspection was September 5, 2025.
Good Samaritan Society Tyndall runs 68 certified beds as a nonprofit, and its last health inspection was in January 2025. The record shows 10 deficiencies, three of them serious enough to put residents in harm or jeopardy, plus three fines totaling nearly $45,000. Nurse staffing sits at 3.58 hours per resident per day, about 7% under the national average, and weekends run roughly 15% lighter than weekdays. Staff turnover is the number that would worry me most, 58.5% a year, well above the 45.8% national rate. Quality measure scores came in at 2 out of 5 stars.
Good Samaritan Society's Luverne home runs 51 certified beds as a nonprofit, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.88 hours per resident day, barely a whisker above the national average of 3.86. That staffing edge doesn't hold on weekends, though, when coverage drops about 21% below its own weekday level, a gap families should ask about directly. Staff turnover is the bigger problem: 60% a year against a national norm of 45.8%, meaning more than half the people caring for your relative will likely be new within twelve months.
The inspection record is thin for a 51-bed home, 32 deficiencies, one at harm or jeopardy level, one tied to abuse, and a $57,045 fine. CMS gives quality measures just 1 of 5 stars, and the last inspection was April 2026.
Good Samaritan Society New Underwood runs 41 certified beds as a nonprofit, and its nursing hours come to 2.82 per resident day, roughly 27% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends dip about 21% below the home's own weekday staffing, so coverage thins exactly when families tend to visit. Staff turnover sits at 64.7%, well above the 45.8% national figure, which means many of the people caring for residents haven't been there long.
The inspection record shows 29 deficiencies, including two at the harm or jeopardy level and two tied to abuse, with $26,595 in fines across two penalties. The most recent inspection was in December 2025.
Good Samaritan Society - St Luke's Village runs 60 certified beds in Kearney as a nonprofit, and the numbers behind its federal ratings are worth walking through. Nurse staffing sits at 3.52 hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, roughly 9% thinner, and weekends dip about 14% below what the home itself staffs on weekdays. Staff turnover is 64.7%, well above the 45.8% national figure, so the people providing care change often.
The inspection record shows 28 deficiencies, including 2 at the harm or jeopardy level and 3 tied to abuse, with one fine of $11,654. CMS scored the home 1 out of 5 on both health inspections and quality measures, and 2 out of 5 on staffing. That last inspection was April 14, 2026.
Good Samaritan Society Canistota runs 3.23 nurse hours per resident day, about 16% under the national average of 3.86, and weekend coverage drops roughly another 11% below its own weekday levels. That staffing pattern sits alongside a 68% annual turnover rate, well above the 45.8% national figure, which means the people providing care are changing over faster than average. The current inspection record shows 17 deficiencies, two serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy level, though none involve abuse, and one fine of $9,009. The most recent inspection was in March 2026, so the record is current rather than stale.
Good Samaritan Society - Grand Island Village runs 67 certified beds as a nonprofit, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.56 hours per resident day, roughly 8% under the national average of 3.86. Weekends dip about 10% below its own weekday numbers, so the thinnest coverage lands when families are most likely to visit. The 63.8% annual turnover is the number that stands out most: well above the 45.8% national figure, which means a good share of the people caring for residents are still learning the building. Its record shows 22 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and one abuse-related, with a single $10,033 fine. The last inspection was 2025-12-30, so the picture is current.
Good Samaritan Society De Smet runs 46 beds as a nonprofit, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.40 hours per resident day, roughly 12% under the national average. Weekends are thinner still, about a fifth below its own weekday coverage. The bigger concern is the record: 17 deficiencies, four of them at harm or jeopardy level and two tied to abuse, plus $27,989 in fines. Staff turnover hits 64.4% against a national 45.8%, meaning nearly two-thirds of the workforce leaves each year. Inspectors were last on site in May 2025. A nonprofit mission doesn't automatically produce steady hands on deck, and here the numbers say it hasn't.
Good Samaritan Society - Liberal runs a non-profit home with 45 certified beds, and the staffing numbers are genuinely strong: 4.07 nurse hours per resident per day, about 5% above the national average, with turnover at 32.6% versus 45.8% nationally. Weekend coverage dips roughly 15% below weekday levels, which matters when a resident needs help on a Saturday.
Where it falls apart is inspections. CMS rates the health inspection side 1 out of 5, with 32 deficiencies on record, 7 at the harm or jeopardy level and 3 tied to abuse, plus four fines totaling $94,784. The home sits in CMS's Special Focus Facility program, reserved for the country's most persistently troubled homes, and its last inspection was July 2024. Good staff, serious safety problems.
Sunset Drive is a 128-bed nonprofit home in Mandan, and the numbers tell a hard story. Nurse staffing sits at 3.57 hours per resident day, about 8% under the national average, and weekends run roughly 10% thinner than weekdays, so coverage is lightest exactly when families tend to visit. The bigger problem is the inspection record: 69 deficiencies, including two at the harm level and eight tied to abuse, plus $42,226 in fines, and CMS has placed the home in its Special Focus Facility program. Staff turnover of 64.5% is well above the 45.8% national figure, meaning caregivers cycle through quickly.
Good Samaritan Society - Larimore carries the kind of record that makes families ask hard questions. Nurse staffing sits at 3.44 hours per resident day, about 11% under the national average, and weekends run roughly 8% thinner than weekdays, meaning the coverage gaps show up exactly when backup is hardest to find. Staff turnover of 78.9% is nearly double the national rate, so residents cycle through a lot of unfamiliar faces. On top of that, CMS counts 49 deficiencies, including three at the harm or jeopardy level and two tied to abuse, with $119,935 in fines and placement in the Special Focus Facility program. That program is reserved for homes with a persistent pattern of serious problems.
Souris Valley Care Center is a 46-bed nonprofit home in Velva, and the federal numbers are rough across the board. Nurse staffing sits at 3.42 hours per resident day, about 12% under the national average, and it thins out further on weekends, roughly 13% below the home's own weekday level. Staff turnover runs 63.4%, well above the 45.8% national figure, which means the people caring for residents are, more often than not, new to the building. The inspection record shows 28 deficiencies, five of them at harm or jeopardy level and two tied to abuse. Four fines total $175,053, and CMS has placed the home in its Special Focus Facility program.
