Good Samaritan Society Tyndall holds a 3-star overall rating, CMS’s middle tier. Nursing staff turnover of 58% is well above the South Dakota average of 48%; high turnover is one of the strongest predictors of inconsistent care. Federal regulators have fined this facility $44,815 in the last three years. None of this tells you whether a bed is open, whether your insurance is in network, or whether the facility will accept a given level of care — confirm those three directly with the facility before you commit.
