About Us

• About Us We're neither a business or a system. We're people with a mission. Often, people delay moving to an assisted living community for fear of what they?re giving up. Their home and sense of independence. Even though they find it harder and harder to live on their own. Home isn?t just a place, it?s a feeling of belonging, of friendship and of being part of a community. It?s a feeling of being valued and free to be yourself. Home never feels like a business or a system and is much more than a list of service offerings. At the Good Samaritan Society, the difference isn?t in the building or the amenities. We?re a place you can truly feel at home. Assisted living at Good Samaritan Society ? Timber Ridge is part of the continuum of care at Good Samaritan Society ? Ottumwa. The campus provides a full range of services, including senior living twin homes and apartments, assisted living, rehabilitation and skilled nursing. Assisted living apartments are ideal for seniors who need some assistance but do not need skilled nursing care.
