Services and Amenities
 Comprehensive Care
Each patient at MedStar Good Samaritan Nursing Center is unique, with special needs and concerns. That is why our team of physicians, nurses and therapists works with you to develop a plan of care to meet your particular needs. During your stay, a physician of your choice can oversee your care, or you may see our medical director who is board-certified in Internal Medicine and Gerontology. A registered dietician will plan menus that will suit your individualized needs and tastes. The care you need is always close at hand because licensed nurses are on staff 24 hours a day, and physicians are on call around the clock.
Should the need for hospitalization arise, we are conveniently located on the campus of MedStar Good Samaritan Hospital. And because MedStar Good Samaritan is part of the MedStar Health system, you have access to an entire network of diagnostic and therapeutic services in the Baltimore area.
