Good Samaritan Society - Silver Wood Village is a nonprofit senior living community that serves independent seniors, usually starting at age 55 or 62, and also cares for those needing assisted living, memory care, skilled nursing, or rehabilitation services. This place has studio and one-bedroom apartments with individual thermostat controls, internet, cable TV, an emergency response system, and both laundry services and housekeeping for added comfort and safety. Meals are served one or two times a day in a restaurant-style dining room, and there are options for those with allergies or special diets like diabetes. Nursing home care's available here, with staff who offer 24-hour supervision, medication management, help with bathing, dressing, and getting around, plus a range of therapies like occupational, physical, and speech therapy, including for short-term rehab or stroke recovery. The community accepts both Medicare and Medicaid for their nursing home residents, and there's respite care for folks who need a short stay.
There's specialized care for residents with Alzheimer's or dementia in a supervised and secure area, and the residents can take part in daily activities, enjoy well-kept gardens, walking paths, arts rooms, a chapel, a community lounge, a salon, and movie nights. Clothing and personal items are offered, ranging from slippers, shoes, sandals, elastic waist pants, cardigans for elderly women, and sleepwear, plus special features like open-back clothes for easier dressing and help with daily living activities. The staff includes a medical director, physician assistants, nurse practitioners, dieticians, pharmacists, and feeding assistants, and the team's often recognized for dedicated service. Family and resident councils help guide the community.
Housekeeping, dry cleaning, and maintenance keep spaces clean, and there's transportation for outings or appointments. The setting encourages social interaction and helps residents stay physically and mentally active with different programs and events. Good Samaritan Society - Silver Wood Village belongs to the larger Good Samaritan Society network, and while short-term care is graded as a B, long-term care's rated F, so people might want to look at that when considering long-term nursing needs. The grounds and buildings are designed for comfort and accessibility for seniors, with both independent and supervised care available as needed, along with skilled nursing for those who require it.
