My brother had a stroke. He was hospitalized for 15 days then transferred to a rehab facility from there his improvement was so great but they wanted him monitored for a bit longer so it came time for a nursing home. Good Samaritan accepted my brother knowing his deficits....my brother arrived at 2:00 P.M, by 10 PM he was sent to MMC. While someone at Good Samaritan was doing rounds they came in his room and found him unconscious on the floor where he had fallen. He ended up having a brain bleed and was shipped out to El Paso and their excuse was we didn’t have enough staffing and there was no way we could keep him in bed. As a healthcare provider myself I know many nursing facilities have bed alarms that will ring the front desk if the patient were to get out of bed, why this was not used I would not know so my brother was in their Care less than 10 hours and he was injured because they “did not have enough staff” WOW !! I am sure the bill for his stay went out within 8 hours though.

My friend and I visited Good Samaritan. They liked it, but they have a dog and couldn’t bring it in. The lady was helpful and nice. We saw the little cafeteria area, which seemed clean and nice.

I only met one staff person at Good Samaritan Society Las Cruces Village, and he was great. He gave us a lot of information. The facility suited our needs very well. The meals and the dining facility were OK. They do all kinds of things. They go to movies, and they have lectures. They have the most gorgeous auditorium, they have a swimming pool, and they have a workout room that is open 24 hours a day. I liked where it is. It was in a very beautiful location near the university. They have transportation to anywhere you want to go.

This is a multilevel community or continuum of care including memory care facility. The apartment buildings are small and old. They are dark; however, the facility was very nice. The people are very friendly, younger, and more interested in activities. The dining room was lovely. The meal time was very flexible. The food was wonderful.

As a caregiver, I have worked for several residents at the Good Samaritan Village. I have also spoken with many other residents during meals in the dining hall. I did not hear a single complaint, which is remarkable! The facility is arranged with a couple of two story wings such that every room has a small balcony or patio. Each wing also has several lounge areas which seem to be used often for card games and gatherings. The dining hall, auditorium, and indoor pool are centrally located. They even have a video library where residents can check out videos. The rooms/apartments are spacious and well lit and the grounds are well kept. The staff are very friendly and helpful. It is well named, as it does feel like a Village where the residents are comfy and happy. I feel good knowing that a place like Good Samaritan is available for when I will need it someday in the future.
