Review

Good Samaritan Society - Davenport is a nursing home that caters to individuals with varying incomes, making it accessible for low-income individuals like the brother of one reviewer. The staff at this facility are highly praised for their dedication and the cleanliness of the premises. The amenities offered include a reading room/library, television room, and an activities room. However, some reviewers mentioned that there could be more activities available, but due to COVID-19 restrictions, these options were limited.

The cost of residing at Good Samaritan Society seems to be a concern for some reviewers as it is considered expensive. However, they do provide value for the price paid. Each resident receives one meal per day, which offers a variety of options and is generally delicious. Additionally, housekeeping services ensure that rooms are cleaned daily, and Lifeline services are included in the rent along with utility payments.

One reviewer expressed their need to find a more affordable option despite being satisfied with their experience at Good Samaritan Society. They mentioned that there weren't many residents around their age group and highlighted the presence of elevators as a helpful feature for those using mobility aids.

While most reviews shared positive experiences concerning the staff and facilities, one reviewer voiced concerns about inadequate staffing levels and lack of oversight in regards to patient care. They cited instances where their mother had difficulty accessing basic needs such as showers or assistance getting up from a chair. It was also mentioned that paperwork delays prevented necessary therapy from being provided.

Another negative review pointed out challenges in finding available staff members when help was needed. The individual's mother frequently experienced delays in using the restroom and would have to wait for extended periods before receiving assistance. Despite complaints made about these issues to management, no improvements were observed.

On a more positive note, another individual volunteered at Good Samaritan Society in the past and spoke highly of the facility's well-maintained grounds and homelike atmosphere. The staff demonstrated genuine care for the residents, readily addressing their concerns and implementing new activities based on their feedback. The availability of transportation services and access to mental health support were also highlighted as valuable aspects of the facility.

In conclusion, Good Samaritan Society - Davenport appears to offer a range of amenities and quality care for its residents. While there were some concerns raised about staffing levels and promptness of assistance, the majority of reviews expressed satisfaction with the staff, cleanliness, and overall experience provided by the facility.
