Good Samaritan Society -Loveland Village

We had a very positive experience looking at duplex independent living units. Our tour was enjoyable and the information was thorough, we look forward to our future on this campus.

Sixteen months ago we moved our parents from out of state to Good Sam. We visited 5-6 different places and chose Good Sam for the following reasons: *The staff was very welcoming and informative. *The campus, although "older," was clean and well maintained. * There was a feeling of longevity with the staff and coming from a place that was a revolving door of caregivers, that was VERY appealing. * There was an official CHAPEL. That was important to my parents to have a place to gather, worship, & play piano in an area that wasn't a multi-purpose room. * The location was off the beaten path and quiet vs. living on a busy thoroughfare. * There were many other reasons but those were the ones that come to mind at the moment. Mom and Dad moved into Assisted Living (those apartments hold more than you think). After 5 weeks mom had a serious decline in health and had to be moved to the HEALTHCARE wing. Dad, from the Assisted Living area was able to visit her as much as he wanted, and the staff there was very attentive. There were times when we had to wait after pushing the button for help... but overall the care was very good and the staff was very kind and welcoming to the entire family when we would be in and out. Mom passed three months later and Good Sam made everything smooth during this journey. The campus minister visited mom in the last days and came to see the family in the last hours. During a difficult time we received lots of support and hugs from the staff. Good Sam's partnership with Bloom/Hospice was appreciated as well. Dad is now living in the same Assisted Living apartment they moved into last year. He is involved with playing the piano at various times, whether it be for church services or in the dining room as people gather. He goes to a few of the exercise classes. The teacher of the class worked with him to figure out a little workout with equipment in the gym area. He has choices of many activities each day. Sometimes he'll call and be interested in something and ask if we want to come over. We have joined him for many of these events throughout the year and have been impressed by the variety of programs brought to campus and the number of people in attendance. Yes, there are times we wonder if we chose the right place, but dad seems happy, safe and cared for. Each person/family is different with various expectations and backgrounds. For us this has been a 5-star move! Thank you Good Sam, for everything!

My wife Elvira wanted to move to an apartment setting after macular degeneration robbed her of mobility and independence. She felt that Loveland Village best met her needs. I became enthusiastic when I saw the gym learned about fitness classes offered. We’ve been here almost year now and have enjoyed the beautiful setting, our apartment, the staff and residents as well as the plentiful and enjoyable activities.

My wife and I have lived at Good Samaritan - Loveland Village for almost 8 years now. We live in a "twin-home" and love it here. We are a "young" 79 years of age and active in the Village, in town and at our church. Good Samaritan has much to commend it. It is a caring, Christian community that strives to serve well all of our nearly 400 residents living independently, in assisted living and in health care. Our administration is competent and friendly and easily accessible. The staff, in all areas, is kind with many motivated beyond their financial compensation. Are there small irritations from time to time? Of course, but we would not choose to live anywhere else at our stage in life. Should you be curious about the Village just come for a visit. It's the best way to know us.

My husband and I have lived at the Good Samaritan Village in Loveland for a little over a year. We live in one of the 76 twin homes and are very happy and content here. There are numerous activities and classes available, and the main facility has many amenities such as a chapel, restaurant, library, game room, fitness center, small pool, country store, etc. The staff is courteous and extremely helpful. And most important, the residents like living here and are grateful to be here. The extended care option is an important part of this facility. Our adult children are thrilled we moved here and that all of our needs are taken care of. It makes their lives much easier and less stressful. Call and take a tour. Check it out and get your name on the list. It is worth 5 stars!
