Overview of Baptist Health & Rehab

Cassia Services owns Baptist Health & Rehab, a 140-bed nursing home at 3400 Nebraska Dr in Bismarck, North Dakota. Deanna runs it as Administrator. It’s been part of the area for around eight years, offering nursing home care, assisted living, and hospice care under one roof.

Don’t expect to walk anywhere nearby, as the Walk Score sits at 6. That’s just about as car-dependent as it gets.

The numbers point to a facility that’s nearly full and serving a mixed population. Occupancy runs at 97.5%, and the average resident stays 395 days, well over a year, though plenty of residents arrive for shorter Medicare-covered rehab stays before moving on. Nursing staff put in just over 5 hours of total care per resident each day. Coverage-wise, Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay are all accepted, which opens the door for families regardless of how they’re paying.

Rehabilitation services and short-term rehab cover residents working toward going home, while a long-term skilled nursing program serves those who need ongoing care. Spiritual care and basic care round out the medical side. Day to day, residents have bright, individual rooms, emergency pendants for quick help, restaurant-style dining, walking paths, special events, and religious services.

Baptist Health & Rehab is a busy, nearly full nursing home built to handle two different kinds of residents at once: people working through short-term rehab and people who need skilled nursing care for the long haul.

Overview of Good Samaritan Society – St. Vincent

Kirk Greff runs Good Samaritan Society – St. Vincent, a 46-bed nursing home at 1021 N 26th Street in Bismarck, North Dakota. The single-story building has been operating for 42 years. That’s a long run for a 46-bed home, and it shows in how the place is set up: built mostly around long-term care rather than short-stay rehab.

The neighborhood is car-dependent. Walk Score sits at 21, so don’t plan on walking far for errands.

Most residents here stay a while: the average length of stay runs around 189 days, and occupancy holds at 81%. Nursing staff provide close to 4 hours and 40 minutes of total care per resident each day. Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay are all accepted, which covers most of the ways a family might be paying.

Rehabilitation services anchor the clinical side, and two named programs round things out: home-based services and caregiver support, the second of which is worth noting since it’s aimed at the family doing the caregiving, not just the resident. Religious services are also part of the offering. Pets are allowed, and transportation plus fitness and recreation options are available too.

What we know about Good Samaritan Society – St. Vincent adds up to a smaller, long-running nursing home built for residents who need ongoing daily care rather than a short rehab stay, with a leaner service list than some larger facilities but a steady, decades-long presence in the Bismarck community.

Overview of Valley View Heights

Sixty-four apartment units, two stories, private rooms throughout: that’s the basic shape of Valley View Heights, an assisted living community at 2500 Valley View Avenue in Bismarck. Walkability sits at 27, somewhat walkable, so a few nearby services are reachable on foot but most trips still mean getting in a car.

Staffing runs around the clock here, which matters for families thinking about emergency response time. Beyond general availability, there’s specific mobility support too: staff trained to help residents transfer between bed and wheelchair, a detail that speaks to a population with real physical care needs, not just light assistance.

Daily life gets handled comprehensively. Meals, housekeeping, and personalized personal care cover the basics, while a hair salon, chapel services, and a regular activities calendar round out life beyond direct care. Transportation services fill the gap for trips off-property.

Valley View Heights is a genuinely comprehensive assisted living community, with round-the-clock staffing paired with hands-on mobility support and a full slate of daily services, in a Bismarck setting where the community itself carries most of the weight for residents’ day-to-day needs.
