Overview of Good Samaritan Society – Atkinson

Good Samaritan Society – Atkinson is a 61-bed nonprofit nursing home in Atkinson, Nebraska, operated by a church and administered by Dale Gould. The facility accepts Medicaid, Medicare, and private pay. Medicaid accounts for 46% of new admissions, and a current average length of stay of 117 days — a profile oriented toward long-term care.

The inspection record carries significant weight in any evaluation. Over roughly nine years of state oversight, the facility has averaged 10.1 deficiencies per year — 140% above the Nebraska average of 4.2. In the most recent four-year CMS period, five health inspections produced 39 citations at a rate of 7.8 per inspection, placing it 119th out of 122 Nebraska skilled nursing facilities on that metric. A $23,000 federal civil money penalty was assessed in January 2024, and the most recent citation in April 2025 involved an abuse/neglect finding, rated moderate and subsequently corrected. No immediate jeopardy findings appear in the record.

CMS quality measures and staffing ratings are more positive. The facility holds a 5-star Quality Measures rating — 47% above the Nebraska average — driven in part by a short-stay rehospitalization rate of 4.8%, compared with the state average of 20.9%. Staffing earns 4 stars, 27% above average overall, though CNA staffing averages 2 hours and 1 minute per resident per day against a state benchmark of 2 hours and 46 minutes. The facility’s occupancy rate is 100%, ranked first among 194 Nebraska facilities, compared with the state average of 70.3%.

Amenities include on-site meals, salon services, religious programming, and transportation. The facility participates in caregiver support and home-based services programs and offers respite care. Starting price is approximately $3,761 per month.

Standout metric LPN / LVN is +11% 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	▼ 4% State avg: 43m 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.	48m per day	▲ 11% State avg: 43m 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.	1h 55m per day	▼ 31% State avg: 2h 46m 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.	3h 11m per day	▼ 12% State avg: 3h 37m per day · National avg: 3h 26m per day
Physical Therapist Hours per resident per day provided by licensed Physical Therapists (PTs) or PT Assistants. PT services help residents recover mobility after injury or illness and are especially important for post-acute (short-stay) rehabilitation.	0m per day	▼ 95% State avg: 3m per day · National avg: 4m 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.	26m per day	▼ 9% State avg: 29m per day · National avg: 28m per day
