Renewal

91 deficiencies

Deficiencies indicate regulatory issues. A higher number implies the facility had several areas requiring improvement.

Nebraska average: 52 deficiencies

Inspection Report Summary for Good Samaritan Society – Atkinson

The most recent inspection on January 13, 2022, found no deficiencies and confirmed the facility meets statutory requirements for licensure renewal. Earlier inspections showed a pattern of deficiencies related mainly to resident care issues such as failure to identify and treat changes in condition, medication management, fall prevention, and infection control, as well as safety concerns including fire safety and emergency preparedness. Complaint investigations over the years substantiated some issues with staff training, supervision, and timely reporting, but enforcement actions were limited to a probation period in 2014 related to pressure sore and weight loss prevention. Most complaints were substantiated with corrective actions taken, while some were found unsubstantiated. The trend suggests improvement over time, with the most recent reports showing compliance and no cited deficiencies.
