Services & Care

Our nutrition department delivers nutritious, quality meals to residents with a customer-centered approach. Meals are served from a menu planned under the direction of a registered dietitian.

Our clinical dietitian will meet with you or your loved one upon admission to initiate meal services and discuss food preferences, allergies, ethnic, religious and/or cultural requirements, as well as any other pertinent nutritional information that will assist the dietitian in helping you plan appropriate meal choices. Together, goals and interventions will be set, and an individualized care plan will be developed.

Monthly food committee meetings allow each resident to voice their food concerns, provide menu input and be informed of any changes and upcoming events. In addition, our clinical dietitian is available as needed to provide individualized services and counseling regarding specific dietary concerns.

Specials for our residents and their families include:

• Dinner parties and dessert nights
• Special meals for the holidays
• Barbecues in our outdoor patios and special events

The spiritual needs of residents are important to Good Samaritan Nursing & Rehabilitation. Our pastoral care department strives to maintain an atmosphere where multiple faith communities may live, pray, grieve, celebrate and thrive together. Mass, devotions, prayer groups, celebrations and bereavement groups are coordinated for all faiths.

We offer weekly mass with a priest and lively pastoral care volunteers provide daily support to enhance a living faith for all denominations. Our chapel and meditation room is designed with space to accommodate wheelchairs.

We encourage residents, patients, their families and friends, staff and visitors to use our chapel for quiet moments of prayer, devotion and solace. The pastoral care staff is dedicated to the emotional, social and spiritual care of our residents, their families and staff. Our main focus is to be aware of and provide for evolving spiritual care needs.
