Overview of Good Samaritan Society Canton
Good Samaritan Society Canton is a church-operated nursing home in Canton, South Dakota, providing short-term rehabilitation, long-term skilled nursing care, hospice support, and respite services. The 56-bed community is owned by Karsten Rohlfs and accepts Medicare, Medicaid, and private-pay options. It has also earned the AHCA Bronze National Quality Award in 2023 for its commitment to quality improvement initiatives.
Occupancy levels remain strong at 91.8%, significantly higher than the South Dakota average, suggesting consistent local demand but limited availability. The average resident stay is approximately 148 days, and admissions are mostly private-pay residents, with Medicare and Medicaid admissions representing smaller but balanced portions of the resident population.
The community currently maintains a 1-star overall CMS rating, with health inspection and quality measures ratings below South Dakota averages. Staffing performance slightly exceeds state benchmarks, with total nursing hours averaging 3 hours and 38 minutes per resident daily, while weekend registered nurse coverage remains modestly above average. However, nurse aide and licensed practical nurse coverage trends are below the statewide averages.
Available services include rehabilitation therapy, short-term rehab, respite care, physician oversight, 24-hour staffing, and on-site security systems designed to support resident safety and care coordination.
With established clinical services and consistent occupancy stability, Good Samaritan Society Canton is best suited for older adults in Canton and the surrounding Lincoln County area seeking long-term nursing support or short-term rehabilitation within a nonprofit, faith-oriented care environment.
Quality ratings
The Overall CMS Rating combines results from health inspections, staffing levels and quality measures. Health inspections carry the most weight. Staffing and quality scores can increase or decrease the final rating based on performance compared to state and national standards.
Based on the results of the facility's three most recent standard inspections and any complaint investigations. CMS reviews the number, scope, and severity of deficiencies, with more recent findings weighted more heavily.
Measures average nursing staff hours per resident per day, including Registered Nurses (RNs) and total nursing staff. Ratings are adjusted based on the level of care residents require and are compared to state and national benchmarks.
Based on clinical and physical health indicators reported to CMS, such as hospital readmissions, falls, pressure ulcers, and improvements in mobility. These measures reflect how well residents' health needs are being managed.

Standout metric
Weekend RN is +6% above state avg
| Staff type | Hours / Day / Resident | vs state avg |
|---|---|---|
|
Registered Nurse (RN)
RNs hold the highest nursing license and can assess residents, interpret test results, and direct care plans. More RN hours per day often signals stronger clinical oversight and faster response to health changes.
| 41m per day | ▼ 15% State avg: 48m per day · National avg: 41m per day |
|
LPN / LVN
Licensed Practical Nurses (LPNs) or Licensed Vocational Nurses (LVNs) deliver routine hands-on care — medication administration, wound dressing, and monitoring vital signs. They work under RN supervision and make up a large share of daily bedside care.
| 22m per day | ▼ 24% State avg: 29m per day · National avg: 52m per day |
|
Nurse Aide
Certified Nurse Aides (CNAs) provide the most direct day-to-day assistance: bathing, dressing, feeding, and mobility. Nurse aide hours are typically the largest staffing category and directly affect residents' quality of life.
| 2h 8m per day | ▼ 18% State avg: 2h 37m per day · National avg: 2h 20m per day |

Weekend Total Nursing
Combined nursing hours (RN + LPN + Nurse Aide) per resident per day on weekends. Staffing often drops on weekends — this figure reveals whether the facility maintains adequate coverage outside of weekday hours.
| 2h 34m per day | ▼ 23% State avg: 3h 19m per day · National avg: 3h 26m per day |
|
Weekend RN
Registered nurse hours specifically on weekends. Facilities sometimes reduce RN presence on Saturdays and Sundays — a low weekend RN figure compared to weekday hours can indicate reduced clinical oversight when most administrative staff are absent.
