THE EVANGELICAL LUTHERAN GOOD SAMARITAN SOCIETY

The Evangelical Lutheran Good Samaritan Society specializes in operating skilled nursing facilities that deliver comprehensive long-term care services to veterans and elderly populations. Their core capabilities include clinical care coordination, 24/7 skilled nursing support, rehabilitation services, medication management, and chronic disease stabilization within a federally regulated institutional environment. They maintain strict adherence to Medicare/Medicaid standards, OSHA protocols, and VA-specific care delivery frameworks, with demonstrated expertise in managing complex patient populations requiring post-acute, custodial, and palliative care. A key differentiator is their ability to sustain high-acuity operations under VA oversight, integrating federal reporting requirements with resident-centered care models that emphasize dignity, continuity, and clinical outcomes. The contractor maintains a consistent and deep relationship with the Department of Veterans Affairs, providing contracted nursing home services under structured, multi-year agreements. Their work for the VA centers on delivering community-based skilled nursing care aligned with VA’s Community Living Center program, ensuring compliance with VA’s clinical protocols, staffing ratios, and quality metrics. The recurring nature of their engagements suggests a trusted, long-term partnership built on operational reliability and regulatory compliance. Their primary industry focus is on nursing care facilities (NAICS 623110), where they operate as a licensed, institutional provider of skilled nursing services tailored to geriatric and veteran-specific health needs. They are positioned as a specialized operator within the federal long-term care market, serving a niche segment that requires high-touch, clinically intensive care delivery under government contract. The organization is structured as an 8H entity, indicating a small business classification under the SBA’s 8(a) program, though no formal certifications are listed. Located in Albert Lea, Minnesota, they serve as a regional provider with a focused footprint in the Upper Midwest, leveraging their physical infrastructure to support federal healthcare missions without expanding into broader geographic markets.
