Good Samaritan Society – Founder's Crossing

Good Samaritan Society – Founder’s Crossing will offer all health and wellness services under one roof, including independent living apartments and villas; assisted living and memory care services; short-term rehabilitation and long-term care; home-based services; life enrichment programs; and direct connection to a future Sanford Health clinic and Lewis Drug. With Sanford Health, there will be onsite access to family medicine, lab, radiology, therapy and other specialty services.

The senior community will also offer a variety of services and amenities. In addition to the convenient access to health care services, the campus will boast walking paths, water features, restaurant-style dining, a beauty spa, retail shopping and fitness and recreation areas.

The groundbreaking will be held in the spring of 2024, and we anticipate welcoming our first residents in 2026. The project will be completed in phases. Villas, independent living apartments, assisted living and memory care assisted living apartments will open first, followed by the eventual opening of the short-term rehabilitation and long-term care center, Sanford Health clinic and Lewis Drug.

When phase I is complete, we will open the first of 146 villas, 120 independent living apartments, 32 assisted living apartments and 32 memory care assisted living apartments.

We are early in the skilled nursing development process and are still evaluating options based on the future needs of the community. We look forward to sharing more information when it becomes available.

Good Samaritan Society – Founder’s Crossing will bring together the full continuum of care and services and infuse innovation to simplify the health care experience and help older adults live healthy and fulfilling lives.

The name honors the heritage of the Good Samaritan Society and its founding in Arthur, North Dakota in 1922 by Rev. August Hoeger. It also recognizes the intersection of services from the Good Samaritan Society and Sanford Health and represents the unprecedented opportunity we have to shape the future of senior care and reimagine how care is delivered at every stage of life through our integrated health system.

Construction of the Sanford Health clinic and Lewis Drug is expected to begin between 2026-2028. We look forward to sharing updates and information with the community as it becomes available.

The Sanford Health clinic and Lewis Drug will be open to the public and provide the community with greater access to primary care services for the whole family.

The convenient access for residents of the Good Samaritan Society and their families means all health and wellness services will be available under one roof. Whether in the heat of the summer or bitter cold of winter, residents can walk down the hall for an appointment, prescription pickup or grocery items.
