Despite these offerings, resident and family reviews of Good Samaritan Society – Parsons reflect mixed experiences concerning the quality of care and staff attentiveness. Initially, families noted positive experiences with caregivers, who were described as nice, respectful, and helpful. However, recent experiences highlighted significant issues related to staff behavior and competence, including condescending attitudes, inattentiveness, and a dangerous oversight involving oxygen equipment. Perceptions of understaffing and staff qualifications are concerns expressed by residents and families, which are further underscored by delayed response times to call lights without apologies. Complaints were also made regarding neglect relating to personal care needs, with reports of health issues such as rashes due to prolonged soiling.
