The facility holds an overall CMS star rating of 2 out of 5, which falls below the national average of 3.0 stars. CMS assigns these ratings based on three component categories: health inspections, staffing, and quality measures. Good Samaritan Society - Liberal received a 1-star rating in health inspections, indicating performance that is among the lower tier nationally in that category. In contrast, the facility received a 5-star staffing rating, the highest possible, reflecting staffing levels and nurse hours per resident day that rank well above the national average. The quality measure rating is 2 stars, suggesting that certain clinical outcome indicators tracked by CMS are below the national average for this facility. Good Samaritan Society - Liberal is certified to accept both Medicare and Medicaid payment. This dual certification means the facility is able to serve residents whose care is funded through federal Medicare benefits, typically for short-term skilled nursing or rehabilitation stays, as well as residents whose long-term care costs are covered by the Medicaid program for eligible low-income individuals. Families and residents seeking placement should verify current bed availability and specific coverage details directly with the facility and their respective insurance or benefits administrators. When viewed against national benchmarks, the facility presents a mixed profile. Its 5-star staffing rating is a notable data point, indicating that nurse and aide staffing hours meet or exceed levels observed at top-performing facilities across the country. However, the 1-star health inspection rating and 2-star quality measure rating both fall short of the 3.0-star national average, which may be relevant considerations for those researching care options in the Liberal, Kansas area. The overall 2-star rating reflects the combined weight of these component scores as calculated by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services.
