Good Samaritan Society Home Care of Central Nebraska provides excellent services and care for their clients. My personal experience is a testimony to their excellence of care and they are to be highly recommended. Their timely response to initiating care was so appreciated. In fact, a nurse was in our home within 30 minutes of my dismissal from the hospital. My husband and I couldn’t have been more impressed and pleased with the education the nurse provided on my IV medications. The nurse we had was not only very knowledgeable and skilled herself, she was an outstanding teacher. We felt comfortable and reassured that my husband could continue to help administer the drugs after being well trained with excellent and frequent demonstration and supervision. This is my second time receiving care from GSSHC of CN. Initiation of services was efficient, thorough, and done with compassion. I appreciated the coordination of care amongst my medical team led by the nurses. They always followed through quickly and got the answers we needed. This home health agency provided us with top notch nurses that help a person holistically, addressing my physical and emotional needs. We looked forward to them coming with their upbeat personalities and great sense of humor along with being good listeners. In conclusion, if you are searching for a program like this in central Nebraska, don’t hesitate to contact them.
