Good Samaritan Society - Bloomfield
Inspected within the last 6 months. Data reflects current conditions.
Good Samaritan Society - Bloomfield has received a Trust Grade of B+, indicating it is above average and recommended for families considering care options. They rank #47 out of 177 facilities in Nebraska, placing them in the top half, and #2 out of 3 in Knox County, meaning only one facility nearby is rated higher. Unfortunately, the facility is experiencing a worsening trend with issues increasing from 4 in 2024 to 5 in 2025. Staffing is a positive aspect, earning a 4-star rating with a turnover rate of 48%, which is slightly below the Nebraska average of 49%, suggesting stability among staff. There are no fines on record, which is reassuring, and the facility provides more RN coverage than 84% of others in the state, ensuring better monitoring of residents' health needs. However, inspector findings raised concerns, such as the failure to properly revise fall interventions for residents and inadequate medication accountability procedures, which could lead to potential harm. Overall, while there are strengths in staffing and RN coverage, families should be aware of the recent increase in issues and specific incidents that could affect care quality.
