Good Samaritan Home Inc

Though we take skilled nursing facilities for granted today, there were no such options in the 1950s for those who were “elderly and infirmed.” However, Dr. Henry Weiss, a local physician and member of Bethel United Church of Christ, had a vision for a high standard of care for those in need, regardless of their ability to pay. His vision still guides us today.

For Employees
Working at the Good Samaritan Home goes far beyond just having a job. It is a ministry. Each day our staff have the opportunity to make a difference in the life of another person. We envision the Home as the best senior care provider in southwest Indiana. Employees at the Home share that same passion and enthusiasm for making an impact in someone’s life. We support, encourage, and guide staff along their career path to help them achieve their goals.

We believe that work/life balance is essential. We offer several different employment options, such as full-time, part-time, weekend-only, and PRN, to best meet the individual needs of our employees. The Good Samaritan Home team provides a family-like atmosphere by sharing Christian love and concern for our residents and employees.

The Good Samaritan Home (affectionately, The Home) gives our residents opportunities to live life to their fullest potential. The Home is an industry leader among not-for-profit senior living communities and memory care. The largest facility in the area, we serve 150 older adults in southwestern Indiana. From the admission of our first residents in 1962, the Home has a rich tradition of commitment to seniors. Our residents have choices in their lifestyle options and activities, providing the utmost fulfillment in their daily living.

What started out as a small nursing care facility has grown to become so much more. We offer Residential or Independent Living Apartments, Three Memory Care Neighborhoods (Pathway’s I & Pathway’s II All Male Unit and Pathway’s Pavilion), Long-Term Care nursing services for the more critically ill residents, and Intermediate Care. We provide Skilled Nursing Services to our residents as well as to those in the community who have had a 3-day hospital stay and are eligible to use their Medicare Part A benefits for a rehab stay.

As everyone knows, socialization is a very important aspect of our quality of life. The Good Samaritan Home has a socially-oriented Activity Department. All residents and their families are invited and encouraged to participate in our activity program. There are a variety of programs such as Ceramics and Painting, Resident Council, Exercise Programs, Religious Services, Planned Facility Outings, Music Entertainment, Bingo, and more.

The Good Samaritan Home benefits from the outstanding capacity of three significant resources: people, building infrastructure, and finances. Our people include an engaged and informed Board of Directors, innovative leadership from our executive team, a highly skilled and compassionate workforce, and dedicated volunteers. The Home also enjoys the benefits of having buildings and equipment that enhance our core mission. Residents are happy with the delivery of our services, and employees are pleased with their work environment. Finally, The Home enjoys a solid financial position, creditworthiness, and a long-term outlook that allows us to improve to ensure we meet our goals continuously.

The Good Samaritan Home has been providing a caring community through an atmosphere of Christian love and concern since its first residents entered on January 15, 1962. Currently, we offer 122 skilled nursing beds, 76 memory/dementia care beds, and 18 independent living apartments. From our humble beginnings, we now count 160 employees on our team, along with a Good Samaritan Home Auxiliary volunteer corps.

Recent accomplishments include the addition of an all-male memory care unit with 16 beds, the first of its kind in the Midwestern United States. We have received the 2021 Readers’ Choice award from the Evansville Courier & Press, demonstrating our reputation throughout the community as the best senior living facility in the region. Our recent state survey found four minimal concerns, two of them administrative, with no danger of harm to any of our residents.

The senior population in the United Sates is expected to climb to 83,000,000 by 2050. Approximately 37,000,000 baby boomers will turn 65 over the next decade. 10,000 baby boomers will turn 65 each day over the next 15 years, fueling the aging population explosion. To meet the needs of this mass census explosion, healthcare providers must continue to adapt to meet changing demands. The Good Samaritan Home is committed to our mission of a caring community and our vision of being a home where residents experience 5-star care and a high quality of life.
