Good Samaritan Society - Algona

Feb 2026

Take your family members anywhere else in the continental United States. My aunt was recently here and now more recently my father. The food so vile that they needed outside family members to bring in additional food just to stay alive. Of course the food cost is still built in to the cost of room and board. $100 a day for rotten fruit and dry roast beef.

The physical therapists are weak and pathetic. They refuse to follow doctor orders and cant bother work with your loved ones to a quality degree and instead forces them off skilled care and then $20,000 of your retirement account down the drain.

Good Samaritan is a wonderful place, I have worked here for 4 years and love all my residents. There is a strong sense of family among residents and staff alike. My mother in law is being taken care of wonderfully in a sister facility and before that she loved living in the independent living facility that is also run by Good Samaritan. When the time comes, we will happily move her into the long term care facility.

If I could give this place a zero I would. But unfortunately I have to at least give it one to make a review. This place is horrible at management. They like to wrongful fire their employees. Take absolutely zero compassion for their employees. If you have a sick relative or a dead one don’t tell these people they’ll say you’ll have to cover your shift by yourself and then fire you when you tell them it’s THEIR job to figure that out. Horrible place to work at. Would NOT recommend.
