Good Samaritan Society - Stafholt

Good Samaritan Society - Stafholt
Blaine, WA
< BACK      

The Good Samaritan Society – Stafholt, in Blaine, Wash., is a nursing center that provides three levels of care for its residents.

Fifty-seven beds are available for long-term skilled nursing care, rehab and respite care. The new assisted living wing has 15 apartments for those able to care for themselves but who need some help. Our caring staff strives to emulate the Good Samaritan Society motto, "In Christ's Love, Everyone Is Someone."

Stafholt saw its beginning in Blaine in 1944 when the Icelandic League of North America raised funds to build its Icelandic Old Folks Home at 360 D Street. It was called Stafholt, an Icelandic word meaning "safe place or shelter" and has been a special part of the heritage of the Blaine community ever since. In July 1986, The Evangelical Lutheran Good Samaritan Society took ownership of the Stafholt Icelandic Old Folks Home. The name "Stafholt" remains with it today as a tribute and reminder of its Icelandic heritage.

The beautiful waterfront town of Blaine is on the United States and Canadian border and is only a 45-minute drive from Vancouver, B.C. Blaine is famous for its Peace Arch and surrounding Peace Arch Park.

For more information on the services we offer, please contact us. We look forward to hearing from you!
