The Good Samaritan Society / Good Samaritan Canada (GSS) is a Canadian Lutheran social service organization that provides continuing care, assisted living and other health and community care services to the independent elderly, frail elderly, mentally challenged, physically challenged, and chronically ill.
Since then, GSS has developed five continuing care centres, four assisted living facilities, and an apartment building for independent seniors in the greater Edmonton area.
GSS has opened programs in Medicine Hat, Lethbridge, Pincher Creek, Magrath, Stony Plain, Hinton, Evansburg, and Rocky Mountain House in Alberta, and Kelowna, Penticton, Vernon, Salmon Arm, New Westminster, Gibsons and Nanaimo in British Columbia.
[needs update] A volunteer Board of Directors governs GSS as a not-for-profit health and social services organization.
Registered in Alberta and British Columbia, the society is owned by members who qualify for membership status.
