Good Samaritan Society - Kissimmee Village West

Frank

My father-in-law is happy with Good Samaritan Society - Kissimmee Village West. He's been there for years. He's in independent living, and he has his own apartment. It's been mostly good. He moved there for his wife's care who had Alzheimer's, but she has since died. He likes the social environment and relative independence. He's in a one-bedroom apartment. It has a kitchen, living room, bedroom, and porch. It's ground floor. It's in a building that's nestled in some trees. It's very pleasant. It gets cleaned weekly, but generally, the grounds and the building, and the apartment are well kept. They did have a crisis with the hurricane where everybody had to leave and it was flooded. His apartment wasn't flooded, but a lot of the facility was flooded. He and everybody else was required to evacuate for a month, so that was kind of an inconvenience and a lot of people were not able to go back. There were trailers. It's a big facility, but his part was OK and it's well-maintained. He gets his meals there, and he's pretty pleased with the food. The dining area is quite nice. They have some exercise equipment. The computers are loaded with mental exercises and things like that. There are plenty of places to walk. He has access to a treadmill. He plays card games with other residents almost every day. They have a little chapel, so they have church services there and they have singing.
