Good Samaritan Society-St Martin Village is a skilled nursing home in Rapid City, South Dakota, part of the well-established Good Samaritan Society, a name many families across the region have come to know over the years. The community is housed in a three-story building on Good Shepherd Way, offering both one-bed and two-bed room options. For families weighing nursing care in the area, that connection to a long-standing faith-based organization is often part of the appeal.
Daily life here centers on comprehensive nursing care paired with an all-inclusive approach to services. Residents receive home-cooked meals, housekeeping, and maintenance-free living, so the practical burdens of running a household are handled for them. Social life is woven into the setting through gatherings in the community room, dining room, and chapel, alongside wellness programs and religious services. An emergency response system adds a layer of day-to-day reassurance for residents and their families.
On the clinical side, nurse aides provide close to two hours of hands-on support per resident each day, with registered nurse coverage adding roughly an hour and a half more. That level of direct staffing is a meaningful signal of how much bedside attention residents can expect. The location sits in a quieter, car-dependent part of Rapid City, so visiting family will generally plan to drive, which also tends to mean a calmer residential setting away from heavier traffic.
Daily nursing hours per resident by staff type, reported to CMS. Higher is generally better — compare this facility to state and national averages to see where staffing stands.
| 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.
| 1h 29m per day | ▲ 85% 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.
| 16m per day | ▼ 45% 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.
| 1h 56m per day | ▼ 26% 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.
| 3h 3m per day | ▼ 8% State avg: 3h 19m 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.
| 7m per day | ▲ 133% 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.
| 1h 1m per day | ▲ 97% State avg: 31m per day · National avg: 28m per day |
