Good Samaritan Society De Smet
Nursing Home Facility
411 Calumet Avenue NW, De Smet, SD 57231
At the Good Samaritan Society, we continually challenge ourselves to go the extra mile in finding new ways to share Christ’s love with the people around us. We’ve highlighted eight traits to bring to life in our daily work and relationships: love, compassion, acceptance, joy, humility, honesty, courage and perseverance. We’ve named this emphasis The Good Samaritan Society Way, and it’s a daily reminder to hold ourselves to the highest standards. The Good Samaritan Society Way is based on the life of Jesus and eight of the most profound traits he embodied. While these traits are based on Jesus’ way of life, The Good Samaritan Society Way is for everyone connected to our organization.
