Good Samaritian Society - Luverne honored for deficiency-free survey in 2018

Good Samaritan Society Luverne was deficiency free in 2018, according to Providigm, a company that specializes in quality assurance and performance improvement (QAPI) in health care.
It recently recognized the Mary Jane Brown Home in Luverne with its Embracing Quality Award, which is given to facilities with deficiency-free state surveys for the entire calendar year.
State health departments conduct surveys and submit that information to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS).
“Our employees work very hard to achieve deficiency-free surveys. They work diligently every day to meet residents’ needs and provide quality care,” Administrator Beth Callahan said. “I’m very proud of our employees and how much they love and care for those we serve.”
