Key Review Excerpts
“I spent two months at Good Samaritan - Maplewood's acute care center after a complex surgery. I felt right at home there. The nurses and aides were kind and compassionate.”
“They treated my sister with respect in transitional care after hospitalization for a fracture leg and a broken arm due to a fall. The staff are caring and kind.”
“Anyone responding to the call button is 'not my room' and never gets anyone else to respond. Mom is left in a soiled diaper all day frequently.”

This facility has concerning patterns with families filing multiple complaints that triggered investigations, particularly around abuse reporting failures, infection control, and medication management. Recurring deficiencies across surveys include fire safety issues, infection prevention problems, and resident care planning shortcomings. While all violations show correction dates, the persistent nature of similar problems—especially fire safety violations appearing in multiple surveys—suggests ongoing operational challenges that families should discuss directly with facility leadership before making placement decisions.
