Good Samaritan Society - Ellis has been cited for a total of 52 deficiencies since we began saving each survey. We believe it is worthwhile to show how things are and were. Some improve and some get worse. Rather than a snapshot, we take s longer view than most. A longer view, we believe, paints a better and more worthwhile picture. We start from them most recent and go back as you scroll down.

Tip: Surveys happen throughout the year and you may want to check with the location or here to see if more recent data is available for Good Samaritan Society - Ellis.

Since we bagan longer term (multi year tracking, numbers will naturally be higher than 3 (or so surverys).
