Good Samaritan Society Miller runs 50 beds in Hand County, and the numbers here deserve a close look before you decide. Nurse staffing sits just under the national average, but weekends run about 15 percent thinner than weekdays, and annual turnover of 70.8 percent means most of the people caring for residents are relatively new, against a national rate nearer 46 percent. The inspection record shows 22 deficiencies, four of them at harm or jeopardy level and two tied to abuse, with $96,127 in fines across two penalties. A recent February 2026 inspection and a 1-out-of-5 quality measure score round out a picture worth asking hard questions about.

Good Samaritan Society - Wagner runs 50 certified beds as a nonprofit corporation, and its current record shows no deficiencies at all, not at the harm or jeopardy level, not abuse-related, nothing. The last inspection was January 7, 2026, so the state's findings are recent, not a stale snapshot from two or three years back. A clean record like that usually reflects steady day-to-day operations rather than luck, since inspectors tend to flag something on most surveys. What the data here can't tell you is how the place feels to visit, staffing ratios at the moment you'd call, how the dining room runs, whether your family member's specific needs fit. Ask those questions on a tour, and ask what happens when a resident's condition changes.
