Good Samaritan Society – The Pines in Jackson, Minnesota, is retirement community that provides a continuum of senior care and services, from twin homes and apartments, to short-term rehab, assisted living and long-term nursing care. We are committed to serving others through quality, loving care.
Assisted living communities are licensed healthcare providers that offer residents housing, personal assistance, supportive services, and custom healthcare plans.
Residents live in apartments or residential units and don’t require around-the-clock nursing supervision. Staff members are accessible 24 hours a day.
Assisted living service communities may benefit seniors who:
- need help with grooming, bathing, dressing or other daily activities such as medication management
- are no longer interested in or able to keep up with lawn care, snow removal or other home maintenance tasks
- enjoy and value the security of having neighbors and staff members close by
- need or want help with laundry and housekeeping
- require three nutritionally balanced meals each day
- prefer using transportation provided by others for shopping or entertainment
- enjoy participating in spiritual, recreational, entertainment and wellness programming
Good Samaritan Society – The Pines offers private one- and two-bedroom apartments for people 55 and older who may benefit from supportive services. Residents furnish the apartments with their personal belongings, providing all the comforts of home. All apartments come with:
- Full kitchen
- One or two bedrooms
- Bathroom
- Living room areas
- Individual air and heat controlling unit
Activities, which are tailored to the interests and abilities of residents, are designed to nurture and enliven the body and spirit. These include a wide variety of spiritual, social, recreational, wellness, educational and cultural programs and events, ranging from Bible studies and wellness activities to music appreciation and area outings.
The intimate residential design of assisted living allows staff members to get to know and understand the needs and desires of each resident and his or her family. Residents enjoy a community dining room with a fireplace, comfortable lounges for activities, and social programs.

Respite care services offer around-the-clock assistance during a short-term stay, which typically lasts more than 24 hours, but less than two weeks.
Caregivers often turn to respite care if they’re unable, for a short time, to provide the 24-hour supervision their loved one requires. Respite stays are also sometimes used as trial runs before making the decision to move to a care center full-time.
Respite care usually includes all the same services available to long-term residents at that location, such as 24-hour care, meals, social activities and housekeeping.
