ehabilitation and skilled care (sometimes referred to as skilled nursing care or nursing home
care) refers to care that is provided for residents
who need the assistance of rehabilitative therapy staff and
licensed nursing staff. Rehabilitation and skilled care is
about more than providing care 24 hours a day. It’s about
giving hope and helping overcome fear. It’s about being
there to listen. It’s relating to people as people, not as patients. It’s cherishing life for the remarkable journey it has
been, and that is still to come.
A rehabilitation and skilled care center should provide
extensive physical, occupational, and speech therapies,
as well as 24-hour skilled nursing care. Working closely
with each patient and his or her family ensures specific
goals are reached and physical, emotional and spiritual
needs are met. An interdisciplinary approach to care and
rehabilitation helps ensure positive results for each individual. As the nation’s largest not-for-profit provider of
senior care, Good Samaritan Society has had a great deal
of experience in providing these types of services.
At Good Samaritan Society Lake Forest Village, our
rehabilitation facility features private living accommodations. Rooms are equipped with cable services
and other amenities. The healthcare team provides
training and physical conditioning with the goal of clients returning home safely. Our specialized assistance
helps clients learn or strengthen skills required for
independence and wellbeing. The emphasis on creating
a caring home, where God’s love is shared in word and
deed, sets the Good Samaritan Society apart from other
senior communities.

needs, and our services, please call the Marketing Department Director at Good Samaritan Society – Lake Forest Village, in Denton, TX, at 940-368-8055.
