My mother has lived at Good Samaritan Algona for almost a year. I’m so pleased with the care she receives there. I live 1400 miles away so I rely on the staff to help me communicate with my mother. They take a phone to her and also set up a laptop so we can zoom with her. The staff is always more than willing to help. Thank you Good Sam Algona for you compassionate care.
