I visited this facility

Good Samaritan Society - Ambassador was very nice and very clean. Everybody there seemed happy. It was small and they didn't have a lot of residents. They had a workout room, a nice dining room, and a nice rooftop balcony. The only downside was outside of the building, the grounds were not very nice just because of where they are. There wasn't much room for gardens or anywhere to walk because it was kind of tucked away in a cul-de-sac. The staff was kind, friendly, and knowledgeable. They seemed to know a…

My mom is at Good Samaritan Society-Ambassador. The staff there seems very caring. The services are high quality and the food is high quality (which is important to my mom). They have a little atrium that people could sit in, bingo games, and state-fair-themed activities. Recently, they just had someone that come in and perform music outside.

My mother-in-law has moved to Good Samaritan Society - Ambassador. She's in their assisted living unit, which is also there with their rehab.

The communication with families at this facility is atrocious. Updates and care conferences are non-existent. The main number is answered, but you are rerouted to phones that ring endlessly. My family was not notified when my loved one fell and was (inappropriately) manually lifted from the floor by one staff member. Nursing didn't bother to assess for pain or bruising. My loved one was fed food on her allergen list. The heat was out for two days without being fixed. Therapy assessments did not align with hosp…

Good Samaritan Society - Ambassador is fantastic. We've been at three other care centers for transitional care and this one is by far the best we found. It's very friendly, has lots of people around, lots of activities, and they don't pass you without saying a greeting. It smells clean, and the staff is overwhelmingly kind, very thoughtful, hands on, and very engaged. The food is very good and looks nice. The watermelon is fresh, the eggs are hot, and there are choices. I'm very impressed. They …

the physical therapy and occupational therapy were incompetent They neglected to work on my wifes ankles and feet which was needed. The home study was incomplete and inaccurate as they wanted her to go to assisted living . Do not trust them as they wanted to keep my wife with them to collect the money She is at her home now driving her own car and working part time
