Within standard 12-15 month inspection cycle. Federal law requires annual inspections.
Good Samaritan Society - Hastings Village has received a Trust Grade of F, indicating significant concerns about care quality. Ranking #112 out of 177 facilities in Nebraska places them in the bottom half, although they are #1 out of 2 in Adams County, meaning there is only one other local option available. The facility is reportedly improving, with issues decreasing from 5 in 2024 to 4 in 2025, yet they still face serious challenges, including $49,480 in fines, which is higher than 85% of Nebraska facilities. Staffing is a relative strength with a rating of 4 out of 5 and a turnover rate of 34%, which is below the state average, ensuring better continuity of care.
