Guardian Angel
What is the Guardian Angel Program?
Is there a staff member or volunteer who has brightened your day or made a difference in a loved one’s life? Celebrate this special person through our Guardian Angel program.
The Guardian Angel program offers residents and loved ones the chance to share a gift of gratitude in honor of a staff member of volunteer who’s made an impact.
100% of every gift of gratitude supports a local Good Samaritan location, advancing the work of our care teams so they can bring comfort, joy and belonging to residents and families.
The Healing Power of Expressing Gratitude
For residents and their loved ones, the chance to express gratitude and appreciation offers many benefits. Research indicates the practicing gratitude not only boosts mental and emotional health, but it also contributes to physical well-being, making it a valuable component of holistic care.
When you honor a Good Samaritan Society Staff Member or Volunteer, they receive a special recognition and pin that they can wear to share the power of kindness. The process takes a few short minutes, but it means the world to our staff and volunteers to know they have made a positive impact on you or a loved one’s life.
Celebrate exceptional people and exceptional care today!
Giving for Good
As a nonprofit organization dedicated to improving the human condition at every stage of life, the Good Samaritan Society is fueled by the generosity of donors — many of whom are residents or family members whose lives have been touched by the love and warmth of our team. Here, philanthropy is all around us, powering good things from a caring family of staff to healing spaces and so much more.
