Good Sam Westview Acres is a senior living community near Lake Waconia that's part of the Good Samaritan Society and Sanford Health networks, and you can find a variety of care levels here, including assisted living, independent living, memory care, skilled nursing, and long-term care. The facility has both inpatient and outpatient rehabilitation and home-based services, with extra support for caregivers.

There's 24-hour supervision and round-the-clock call support, which means there's always someone to help with daily needs like bathing, dressing, transfers, and medication management, and the team coordinates care with doctors and healthcare providers as needed.
The campus has walking paths, well-kept gardens, and spots outside where people can stroll or relax, and there are both community-sponsored activities and things run by the residents, so movie nights, arts room gatherings, game time, and social events fill up the days. Many classes focus on keeping seniors active and safe; for example, the "A Matter of Balance" program holds regular sessions led by coaches Carol Reich and Denise Leonhardt on Mondays from 1:30 to 3:30 in the Fireside Room, aimed at helping folks manage falls and build strength, flexibility, and balance. The facility also offers mental wellness programs for emotional and cognitive support, and there's a barber and beauty salon on site for personal care.
Dining happens in a group dining room, where meals are made by kitchen staff, and there are options for different dietary restrictions, including diabetes-friendly meals, with all-day dining available.
