The Evangelical Lutheran Good Samaritan Society, The specializes in delivering skilled nursing care services through federally contracted long-term care facilities, primarily serving veterans under the Department of Veterans Affairs. Their core capabilities center on operating and managing skilled nursing facilities that provide 24/7 medical supervision, rehabilitation services, chronic disease management, and post-acute care aligned with VA clinical protocols. They demonstrate deep expertise in VA-specific care models, including integrated interdisciplinary care planning, Medicare/Medicaid compliance, and regulatory adherence to CMS and VA Handbook standards. Their operational model emphasizes resident-centered care, staff training in geriatric specialties, and seamless coordination between clinical, administrative, and behavioral health teams—key differentiators in delivering high-acuity care within federal contract frameworks. The organization maintains a consistent and focused relationship with the Department of Veterans Affairs, providing contracted nursing home services under structured, multi-year agreements that support VA’s community nursing home program. Their work directly fulfills VA’s mission to extend quality long-term care beyond VA-owned facilities, ensuring veterans receive timely, compliant, and clinically appropriate services in community-based settings. Their primary industry focus is on NAICS 623110—Nursing Care Facilities (Skilled Nursing Facilities)—where they operate as a certified provider of skilled nursing and rehabilitation services under federal oversight. They are positioned as a trusted community-based provider within the federal elder care and veteran support ecosystem, specializing in the operational and clinical demands of government-contracted long-term care. The entity is structured as an 8H organization, indicating it is a nonprofit, and operates from its base in Waconia, Minnesota. While no formal government certifications are listed, their sustained performance under VA contracts reflects established operational compliance, regulatory competence, and a proven capacity to meet federal quality and reporting standards in skilled nursing care delivery.
