EACH COMMUNITY FOCUSES ITS SERVICES IN THESE MAIN AREAS: SKILLED NURSING, MEMORY CARE, INPATIENT AND OUTPATIENT REHABILITATION AND RESPITE CARE. RESIDENTS AT THESE COMMUNITIES RECEIVE 24-HOUR CARE SERVICES TAILORED TO THEIR NEEDS. WHETHER THE GOAL IS TO RETURN HOME FOLLOWING A REHABILITATION STAY OR TO HAVE PERMANENT RESIDENCE, SAMARITAS SKILLED CARE COMMUNITIES WILL DEVELOP A TREATMENT PLAN CUSTOM FOR OUR RESIDENTS. FOR SENIORS WHO REQUIRE CONTINUOUS NURSING CARE, OUR SKILLED NURSES IN GRAND RAPIDS, CADILLAC AND SAGINAW PROVIDE PHYSICAL, EMOTIONAL AND SPIRITUAL SUPPORT. RESIDENTS ARE GIVEN OPPORTUNITIES TO BE AS INDEPENDENT AS POSSIBLE WITH THE ASSURANCE OF CARE FROM OUR LICENSED STAFF MEMBERS.

ONCE RETURNING HOME, OUTPATIENT SERVICES ENSURE SMOOTH TRANSITIONS HOME AND CONTINUED EVALUATION AND TREATMENT. IN 2023, WE SERVED 640 RESIDENTS IN OUR SKILLED NURSING COMMUNITIES.

SAMARITAS HAS BEEN PROVIDING SERVICES FOR CHILDREN AND FAMILIES SINCE 1934. WE ARE THE LARGEST PRIVATE FOSTER CARE ORGANIZATION IN MICHIGAN, WITH SIX REGIONAL CENTERS IN THE LOWER PENINSULA. FOSTER CARE IS A SERVICE PROVIDED TO CHILDREN FROM BIRTH TO AGE 18 WHO HAVE BEEN REMOVED FROM THEIR HOME BECAUSE OF RISK OF NEGLECT OR ABUSE. FOSTER FAMILIES PROVIDE 24-HOUR CARE TO CHILDREN AND HELP BIRTH PARENTS AND CHILDREN WORK TOWARDS FAMILY REUNIFICATION. SAMARITAS STAFF PROVIDE SUPPORT, AND THE LOCAL FAMILY COURT REVIEWS PROGRESS REGULARLY. OUR EXPERIENCED STAFF ARE PASSIONATE ABOUT THEIR DESIRE TO HELP FOSTER FAMILIES CREATE A BETTER LIFE FOR THE CHILDREN IN THEIR CARE. IN 2023, SAMARITAS SERVED 835 DOMESTIC YOUTH IN OUR FOSTER CARE PROGRAM. 93.6% OF OUR YOUTH IN FOSTER CARE HAD 2 OR FEWER PLACEMENTS IN FOSTER HOMES. ACHIEVING PERMANENCY IS CRITICAL FOR THE WELL-BEING OF CHILDREN WHO ARE UNABLE TO RETURN TO A PARENT/FAMILY MEMBER, AND 33% OF OUR YOUTH WERE PLACED FOR ADOPTION WITHIN 24 MONTHS OF ENTERING THE FOSTER CARE SYSTEM, OUT-PERFORMING THE STATE OF MICHIGAN BENCHMARK OF 36%. IN ADDITION TO DOMESTIC FOSTER CARE, THROUGH SAMARITAS' FAMILY PRESERVATION PROGRAMS, WE SEEK TO GUIDE PARENTS TOWARD CREATING A SATISFYING, NURTURING HOME LIFE FOR THE ENTIRE FAMILY TO KEEP CHILDREN IN THEIR NATURAL SETTING WITH THEIR BIOLOGICAL PARENTS. SAMARITAS PROVIDES A CONTINUUM OF SERVICES THROUGH OUR FAMILY PRESERVATION PROGRAMS. FOCUSED ON THE STRENGTHS OF THE FAMILY, WE GUIDE FAMILIES TOWARD KEEPING CHILDREN SAFE IN THEIR OWN HOME. 545 FAMILIES WERE SERVED BY THESE PROGRAMS IN 2023, OF WHICH 89.7% OF CHILDREN REMAINED IN THEIR HOME OR A RELATIVE PLACEMENT FOR AT LEAST 6 MONTHS AFTER THE INTERVENTION. THROUGH SAMARITAS' ADOPTION PROGRAM, LUTHERAN ADOPTION SERVICES (LAS), WE HELP CHILDREN FIND A "LIFELONG LOVING FAMILY." EVERY CHILD NEEDS LOVE, SHELTER AND GUIDANCE. THESE MOST BASIC OF PROVISIONS ARE MISSING FOR SOME CHILDREN, AND THE OLDER THE CHILD, THE DIRER THE CIRCUMSTANCES, ESPECIALLY WHEN THEY COME FROM AN ABUSIVE OR NEGLECTFUL SITUATION. IN 2023, LAS FACILITATED ADOPTIONS FOR 218 YOUTH.
