Overview of Good Samaritan Society – Red Oak

Located in Red Oak, Iowa, Good Samaritan Society – Red Oak is a 53-bed skilled nursing home owned by William Butz. The facility accepts Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay, so there are several ways families can cover the cost of care. The community has 70% occupancy and serves residents with different care needs. Residents stay an average of 248 days, which includes people recovering from illness or injury as well as residents who require ongoing skilled nursing care.

Daily nursing support averages 3 hours and 48 minutes per resident. Registered nurses, nurse aides, and licensed practical nurses make up the care team. That staffing level supports daily hands-on support, medication management, and medical oversight. Rehabilitation therapy services are available on-site, too. It’s a service for residents while recovering from surgery, stroke, or a hospital stay.

Inspection findings over recent years have centered on care protocols and resident safety practices. Areas reviewed included assessment accuracy, hospital care transitions, pressure ulcer prevention and management, fall prevention systems, medication administration safeguards, food safety and handling, and infection control procedures. The facility was able to address prior findings, and the most recent re-inspection confirmed substantial compliance with state requirements.

The home has a Walk Score of 41. Some nearby services are within walking distance, but most appointments and errands require transportation. Families considering skilled nursing care in the Red Oak area should take a tour and learn more about its rehabilitation services and care programs.

Standout metric Physical Therapist is +102% 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.	44m per day	■ Avg State avg: 44m 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.	27m per day	▼ 21% State avg: 34m 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 4m per day	▼ 19% State avg: 2h 32m 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 36m per day	▼ 22% State avg: 3h 21m 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.	4m per day	▲ 102% State avg: 2m 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.	34m per day	▲ 14% State avg: 30m per day · National avg: 28m per day
