Samaritan Village

Overall I love the staff and care at I! Everyone has been very caring and a true sense of compassion. Their dining hall/restaurant has a great menu and fantastic salad bar. They even have waiters/waitresses! The Mall, where everything is located,ie Chapel, Movie Theatre, Salon, Library, etc is very clean. You're always greeted by the front desk lobby with smiles. However - Country Manor / assisted care / memory care is inadequately staffed or equipped to handle advanced dementia/Alzheimers residents. WereWhaving to place my Dad at another facility due to this fact. It's unfortunate because my folks are looking to celebrate their 63rd wedding anniversary in June and I know this will take it's emotional toll on my mother. This is one of the reasons we had chosen SV for my folks... So that in either of their last walks in life they wouldn't be separated by distance. This is the only drawback I see at SV. Otherwise, they're a fantastic retirement community.

We settled on Samaritan Village for my grandmother. It seemed very lively and social. We liked the upbeat, cheerful atmosphere. The place was nice, updated, and clean. They offer church services, an indoor pool with water aerobics, game nights in the game hall, exercise classes, a gym, gospel singing, a small movie theater, a library, and a post office. It's a really neat place.

Everything was very nice at Samaritan Village. They took us on a tour. The room that we saw was a very nice size and very clean. It was lived in by people because they did not have any empty ones to show us. The residents there looked very happy and very content.

I had three main requirements, and Samaritan Village Retirement Community was the only one that met them. I wanted a washer and dryer in my unit, an indoor swimming pool that I could swim in year round, and a kitchen. The staff was fantastic, caring, and acted like they really enjoyed their jobs. The residents seemed to like them a lot, too. I had a good meal with the residents instead of staff members so I was able to talk to them about how they liked it. They said nothing but good things about the food. They had a salad bar, and you could either eat there or go to the to-go window and bring the food back to your room if you wanted to, which was very convenient. It looked like it would meet everybody's needs. I went to their chocolate jazz and wine tasting festival even though I'm not a resident. They had a knitting group.

Samaritan Village was the place we liked the best, and it was also the most expensive. It was a very attractive place with very nice facilities, but there was no place that suited our particular need. We saw the rooms that were for assisted living. They were studio apartments, and they were only for one person. Two people could share a room, but it would be extremely close quarters. The other places were out in separate buildings, which were some distance away from the main hall. The rooms were very nice. Everything was very nice about it -- it just wasn't what we felt we needed. We would have wanted a place where we could fix our own food at least part of the time, and the assisted living did not have that. I would rate it very highly as far as the amenities and the way it looks. However, it was out of our range cost wise. Everyone was very nice and very helpful. It was a very nice visit. It's a very large place with a lot of different kinds of buildings, separate cottage type places, a lot of apartments, and a variety of ways of living there.

I was by my sister's house, and she knows about Samaritan Village. My mom also knew some people there. The staff was friendly, and the grounds were nice. It seems that they have most everything that my parents would need. The rooms were nice, clean, and relatively spacious. They had a good variety of different services and activities. The dining room setup looked nice. There were some concerns about how hard it would be for my parents to be able to get to the dining area since they don't get around so easily. Otherwise, they would probably be in another building. The accessibility of the dining area is one thing they could improve upon. As for safety and security, it was gated, and it looked sufficient. The place was nice, and the people were nice.

I moved to Samaritan Village after living in another retirement community. Samaritan had so much more to offer. Staff on duty 24 hrs. a day for help. Which I have had to use. The choice of dinning and food, Active and caring community with superior customer service. I have met many new friends. I have a lot of things to do with a lot of social active. A beautiful campus. A great apartment and a great place to live. Mel Resident

We have setup my parents in Samaritan Village Retirement. It was chosen because it is located where the family is situated. The amenities are wonderful, and the staff is extremely friendly. We had meals there, and the food was excellent. My parents like the facility very much. They have just been there for two weeks, and I think it is great. I actually would like to move in there myself.
