About Good Samaritan Society - Larimore

Good Samaritan Society - Larimore is a Medicare- and Medicaid-certified skilled nursing facility in Larimore, North Dakota, operating under CMS Certification Number (CCN) 355097. 40-bed facility. Non Profit - Corporation. Part of the Good Samaritan Society chain. The facility is required to comply with the Requirements for Long-Term Care Facilities at 42 CFR Part 483.

Good Samaritan Society - Larimore has held its Medicare/Medicaid certification for approximately 35 years (certification date on file: 1991-01-02). Long-tenured facilities (15+ years) often have established F-tag remediation playbooks and a deeper standard-survey trail; newly-certified facilities (under 3 years) are subject to a different initial survey cadence under 42 CFR 488.308.

Local market context (Grand Forks County): Good Samaritan Society - Larimore operates in Grand Forks County alongside 2 other Medicare-certified SNFs in our North Dakota cohort sample. Multi-facility counties create direct cohort comparison pressure — hospital discharge planners typically run side-by-side Care Compare lookups before placement decisions.

CMS Five-Star Quality Ratings

CMS publishes Five-Star ratings for nursing homes monthly, drawn from the most recent three years of standard surveys, complaint surveys, and Minimum Data Set (MDS) submissions.

Long-Stay vs Short-Stay Quality Measures

Long-Stay Quality Measure rating: ★☆☆☆☆ (1 of 5). Long-stay measures cover residents in the facility 100+ days and include indicators like residents experiencing one or more falls with major injury, residents whose ability to move independently worsened, and residents with a urinary tract infection.

Differentiating long-stay from short-stay QMs matters for placement decisions — a facility with strong short-stay QMs may still underperform on long-stay metrics, and vice versa.

Compliance Red Flags

Special Focus Facility status: Good Samaritan Society - Larimore appears on the CMS Special Focus Facility list (status: SFF Candidate). SFF designation is reserved for facilities with a persistent pattern of substandard quality of care — typically high deficiency counts across consecutive surveys. CMS conducts a standard survey approximately every six months on SFF facilities (vs. up to fifteen months for non-SFF) and tracks two consecutive improved surveys as the exit criterion. Facilities that fail to improve over 18-24 months on the SFF list face termination of their Medicare provider agreement under 42 CFR 488.456.

Survey History and Deficiencies

Recent health deficiencies cited at last standard survey: 18. National average for facilities of this size is approximately 8 deficiencies per cycle. In its most recent reporting cycle, Good Samaritan Society - Larimore received 1 CMS fine totaling $9,110. Last documented standard health survey: 2025-02-13. CMS conducts standard surveys at most every 15 months for SNFs, with substandard-quality findings triggering more frequent revisits.

Infection Control and Deficiency Weighting

CMS health survey weighted score: 153. The weighted score multiplies deficiency severity (A-L) by scope (isolated, pattern, widespread); higher weighted scores translate directly into the Health Inspection star rating tier breakpoints CMS publishes monthly.

CMS Enforcement Actions

Total enforcement penalties assessed in the most recent reporting window: $1. This figure aggregates Civil Money Penalties (CMPs), DPNA-equivalent revenue impacts, and other monetary remedies under 42 CFR Part 488 Subpart F.

Staffing Detail

At today's staffing levels, Good Samaritan Society - Larimore would not meet the cadre-specific minimums scheduled to take effect on the May 2027 timeline under 89 FR 40876: nurse-aide HPRD is 1.579 vs the 2.45 floor, a 0.87-hour gap. Closing this gap typically requires either net new hires at the specific cadre, shifted scheduling that reallocates existing FTEs to direct-care hours, or a hardship exemption application under 42 CFR 483.35.

Total nurse staffing: 2.835 hours per resident day (HPRD), which is 0.65 hours below the 3.48 total HPRD floor scheduled to take effect for non-rural facilities by May 2027 (89 FR 40876, May 2024); facilities projected to remain below the floor at the effective date must either close the gap, qualify for a hardship exemption, or face citation under 42 CFR 483.35.

Staffing mix: RN 0.691 HPRD, LPN 0.565 HPRD, CNA 1.579 HPRD. The same CMS final rule also phases in cadre-specific minimums of 0.55 RN HPRD and 2.45 nurse aide HPRD on the 2027 timeline; RN-specific shortfalls have historically been the most common single-facility staffing deficiency at standard surveys.

Weekend RN staffing: 0.574 HPRD. Weekend RN coverage is a separately reported CMS measure; facilities with low weekend RN HPRD frequently see resident-acuity-driven adverse events spike on the weekend shift.

Total nurse staff turnover: 71.7% annualized — extremely high (above the 60% red-flag threshold tracked by CMS).

RN-specific turnover: 50% annualized. RN turnover above 50% is the single strongest correlate with QM rating decline in CMS's own internal analyses.

Administrator turnover events in the most recent reporting window: 2. Multiple administrator changes in a 12-month window is associated with substantial leadership-discontinuity risk during the next standard survey.

Chain Context and Facility Type

Good Samaritan Society - Larimore is operated as part of Good Samaritan Society, a chain operating 88 Medicare-certified facilities (CMS chain identifier 726).

Provider type designation: Medicare And Medicaid.

The facility is classified by CMS as urban (within a metropolitan statistical area). Urban SNFs typically face higher acuity post-acute admissions, more competitive labor markets, and stricter local-jurisdiction infection control requirements layered on top of federal CoPs.
