With more than 240 locations across the country, The Evangelical Lutheran Good Samaritan Society is the largest not-for-profit provider of senior care and services in the United States. They are honored that more than 27,000 people of all beliefs and faiths call us home. The Good Samaritan Society’s mission is based in love. In fact, love is the motivation behind the care they provide. They are here because Christ loves us and they want to share that love with others. They challenge themselves to go the extra mile in finding new ways to share Christ’s love with the people around us. They’re highlighting eight of the more profound traits that Jesus showed us. Besides love, the others are compassion, acceptance, joy, humility, honesty, courage, and perseverance. The Good Samaritan Society Way is the name they have given this emphasis. It’s a way of talking about sharing God’s love. But it’s an extension of what they’ve always done and how they’ve always loved the people in their care. They’re accepting this challenge to bring the eight traits of Jesus into their daily work and relationships. No matter what their personal beliefs may be, each person within the Society is challenged to emulate Jesus, as portrayed in the Bible.
