I am a friend or relative of a current/past resident

My dad is a resident of Good Samaritan Society - Olathe. He's in a very caring community. He has adjusted quite well, considering he was very adamant that he was never going to leave his home. He was going to die in his home. The staff, have stepped up and they take wonderful care of him. He's very appreciative of the care that they are providing him. He just brags about the staff and how good they are. He's in a semi-private room. It's pretty spacious. We were able to make his room as homelike as possible with pictures and things like that, so it's not institutional-looking. He does have a shared bathroom. They've got a main dining room. He gets up and goes to the dining room three times a day. They have activities throughout the day that he is encouraged to participate in. He prefers to stay in his room, but the staff is good about checking in on him, and they visit with him. He feels like this is home now.

I visited this facility

My brother-in-law is there. The food service department needs a major improvement. The residents never get what they request and we're paying 10K a month!

I am/was a resident of this facility

I'm here at Good Samaritan Society - Olathe for rehab. When I came here, I couldn't speak as well as I can now. When I came here, I was in a wheelchair, but I'll be leaving with a cane and a walker. They also offered other services. If I had more of a disability than I do now, they would be able to help me with that, too. The staff here are very friendly. My room is small. It's a shared room. They serve good food. The facility is excellent. They have activities and programs, but I haven't availed myself of them.

My sister moved into Good Samaritan Society - Olathe. It seemed like the best because they have activities for them. The staff is kind and helpful. It's clean, and I believe they take very good care of the patients. She enjoys doing the crafts there.

My mom has moved into Good Samaritan Society - Olathe. We chose them for my mother for several reasons. One was the quality of care there was highly reviewed and rated by others who've been there. They're a faith-based institution that provides compassionate care. That's important. It's a nice facility, it's cheerful, and one that feels welcoming. The staff is very welcoming. I liked best the quality of care, and the facility is very nice and welcoming. They have rehabilitation therapy rooms, gym, library, and dining. It's a nice facility. It's just a little older, maybe, but it's well-maintained. It's clean. It's a close to a hospital. It's not too far from me and my brothers. So, it's convenient to a lot of services, particularly medical services.

Good Samaritan Society - Olathe had an opening by the time we were looking for my mom. It was the closest place to the hospital, so we've decided to move her there. Right now, they're low on staff. We just found out about that yesterday that they are on lockdown because of COVID. The staff is very helpful, but there's only one registered nurse. They are depending a lot on students who were there for a volunteer work. They serve a lot of sandwiches and soup, but she really doesn't like it (and they're usually not hot). She likes her breakfast though. She usually gets some scrambled eggs or toast. However, she told me that one Saturday that they never serve lunch when they're supposed to. They're trying to keep the facility clean, but I think there's not enough people there to clean it every day. She has a small room with a TV and carpeted floors, which is a good thing. Right now, she's having to pay the full price, which is about $9,000 a month, but she's not getting the value of it. Eventually, she will be going onto Medicaid for that.

My mother had a devastating stroke about a year ago. She resides now at the Good Samaritan skilled nursing facility and we're very pleased. We picked Good Sam for a number of reasons including: on site chapel, every resident has a large window, you don't "walk through" another resident's room to get to your family member's room. We also felt strongly that it had that "homey" feel. We've gotten to know the staff over the past year and they are amazing. They are caring, compassionate, and proactive about finding ways to improve my mother's quality of life as she continues to battle the effects of the stroke. My mother needs constant help, and she continues to speak highly of the staff. They show their genuine concern for her and make her feel safe, which is very important to us. The way they have handled the COVID pandemic has been commendable. Communication has been great and they are doing all the right things to keep their residents as safe and healthy as possible. At first, I thought their activities were lame, but now I've come to realize that they are actually perfect for the physical and mental abilities of the residents. There are always going to be little things that aren't exactly what you would want, but overall, I'm very thankful that she is being taken care of there.

My wife is in skilled care at Good Samaritan Society in Olathe. She’s actually doing better than I expected. She’s getting better and stronger there now. The staff is highly competent and very caring. They’ve showed me nothing but the highest level of kindness and quality. The food is institutional but it’s alright, there just seems to be a lot of cold sandwiches and things like that. They once had some liver and onions which was a complete turnoff for my wife.

About two months ago we had to put my father into a home and looked around the area for a suitable location. Good Samaritan was what we finally decided on, and overall my and his experience with the facility has be superb. The most important aspect so far has been the level of care my father has received. After the stroke my fathers left side has been very sensitive and hard to move without him receiving intense pain. It is very hard to work with him without irritating his left side, but the nurses and aids at Good Samaritan have quickly learned how to help him transfer and do other activities with as little pain possible. Also the aids are incredibly nice to him and visiting guests. Another excellent aspect is the amount of activities those living in the home. Every week there is multiple bingo games, religious services, physical and mental therapies, as well as bus visits to restaurants, baseball games, and other fun activities. Its always fun to go visit my dad and hear about all the things he has done this week. His mood has improved greatly after moving into the home and he has made a ton of good friends. The only negative I can say about the home is that the food is mostly fried and it is hard to eat healthy. The home has said they are introducing a smart living choice menu, so I hope this will help remedy this problem. Overall I would rate my experience with Good Samaritan as excellent.

I visited this facility

When I first entered the facility, I thought it smelled kind of funky. It wasn't a horrible, disgusting smell, but it didn't smell clean and fresh either. In my interaction with the employees, I found a few problems that really upset me. Some of the staff could be seen hiding in rooms, playing on their cell phones and avoiding/ignoring the residents. Also, I overheard a conversation that a couple of nurse aids were having in front of a resident about what it's like to walk in to find a resident dead. It seemed very inappropriate to talk about in front of an elderly person who is in their life's final stages. Other than those issues, the staff were mostly friendly. The food was your regular cafeteria food, but was decent. The staff were very attentive to the residents' needs in the dining hall and were very efficient at making sure everybody was fed appropriately. The facility itself was ok, but the layout was very confusing for a young person, let alone an elderly resident. Overall, the facility seemed pretty nice, but some of the lazy staff need to be replaced.
