We are happy to congratulate Samaritan Keep Home's sixth floor staff for their recent Heart to Heart Grateful Patient recognition. The staff was recognized for their exceptional care when the friends of a former resident recalled the many positive things he had to say about living at Samaritan Keep Home. The friends of the late resident felt so touched by the care provided, they made a donation to the Samaritan Foundation in honor of the sixth floor staff.

These generous and thoughtful gifts not only honor our caregivers, but also help to extend the same quality of care to others.

It is with great pride that we announce our two long term care facilities, Samaritan Keep Home and Samaritan Summit Village, have been Nationally Recognized for Dementia Care. The Center for Applied Research in Dementia has granted the facilities Bronze-Level Credentialing in the Montessori Inspired Lifestyle® program.

The Montessori Inspired Lifestyle® is a research-based model of care that empowers residents by focusing on their strengths and abilities, encouraging independence, and fostering meaningful engagement in daily life. A 2016 study of assisted living residences and skilled nursing facilities that received Montessori training found a significant decrease in medications needed by residents and instances of resident wandering and agitation within one year. It also noted improvements in residents’ sleep quality and their ability to complete activities of daily living (ADLs) such as showering, dressing and eating.

We are very proud to have earned this credentialing, and we will continue to find ways to improve the care we provide at Samaritan.

Samaritan Keep Home and Samaritan Summit Village have achieved Bronze-Level Credentialing in the Montessori Inspired Lifestyle® program, a distinction granted by the Center for Applied Research in Dementia.
