In July, Sanford Health and the Good Samaritan Society announced a joint venture to improve senior services in the Bismarck-Mandan area. The joint venture includes a new 120-bed rehabilitation/skilled care center being built in southeast Mandan, Sanford Health Sunset Drive Continuing Care Center, Sanford Health St. Vincent’s Continuing Care Center and the Good Samaritan Society –Bismarck campus.
We are pleased to announce that Prospera will be the name of the joint venture. Names have also been chosen for the new Mandan location and the former Good Samaritan Society – Bismarck campus. The new Mandan location will be called Miller Pointe – a Prospera Community. The former Good Samaritan Society – Bismarck campus will be called Augusta Place – a Prospera Community. Other locations will keep their location names. For example, Sanford Health Sunset Drive Continuing Care Center, will now be called Sunset Drive – a Prospera Community.
The joint venture will provide the Bismarck-Mandan area with 397 rehabilitation/skilled nursing beds, 18 basic care beds, 16 assisted living units, 77 senior apartments and two twin homes.
Miller Pointe – a Prospera Community, located at 3500 21st St. SE in Mandan near Prairie West Golf Course, is targeted to open March 2017.
