    Family-run compassionate senior care home

    I placed my mom here and have been very pleased - the family-run team (Fred and Larissa included) is compassionate, attentive, and gives true one-on-one, personalized care. The small, peaceful country setting feels like home: clean, odor-free, cat-friendly, and non-institutional, with delicious homemade meals. Communication is strong, visits are always welcomed, and my mom is comfortable and well cared for. I'd recommend this place to families seeking attentive, loving senior care.

    Summary of reviews

    The Good Samaritan Assisted Living Facility is described consistently as a small, family-run residence with a home-like, rural atmosphere. Reviewers emphasize a calm, farm-setting environment with outdoor spaces and front-porch areas that contribute to a peaceful country feel. Physical accommodations are generally characterized as private and comfortable, with private rooms and bathrooms, pleasant décor, and cleanliness. The facility is explicitly pet-friendly, with multiple mentions that residents may keep a cat, which reinforces the domestic, non-institutional character.

    Care quality and staffing are strong recurring themes. Families describe a compassionate, attentive staff and hands-on owners who provide personalized, family-style caregiving. Specific owners and managers are named positively for their involvement and accessibility. Staff are portrayed as patient, kind, and responsive to families, and reviewers cite close supervision for residents with memory impairment. Several accounts also note supportive end-of-life presence and bereavement support from staff.

    Dining is a notable strength: reviewers report homemade meals prepared from scratch, plentiful portions, and pleasant taste. Meals are described as home-cooked and comforting, with snacks available. The overall dining experience is presented as a component of the homelike model rather than a commercial kitchen approach.

    Activities and social life reflect the facility's small scale and rural location. While informal social events (for example, barbeques and porch/wildlife viewing) are mentioned, there is limited commentary about extensive, structured recreational programming. The setting supports low-key outdoor pastime and family-style gatherings, which may suit residents who prefer a quieter, personalized routine rather than large-group activities.

    Operationally, the facility’s small size is both an advantage and a limitation: it enables individualized attention and a close-knit atmosphere but also implies limited capacity and more modest on-site clinical resources compared with larger assisted-living communities. The rural location contributes to the facility’s character but may pose travel challenges for families. A few comments indicate variability in the initial admissions or administrative experience, suggesting that paperwork and intake processes may be less standardized than at larger providers.

    Overall, the pattern of reviews presents Good Samaritan as an affordable, family-oriented assisted living option with strong relational care, clean homelike facilities, and notable strengths in meals and pet accommodation. Prospective residents and families should weigh the benefits of personalized, small-community care against limits in capacity, formal activity programming, and higher-acuity clinical services when assessing fit.

    About The Good Samaritan Assisted Living Facility

    The Good Samaritan Assisted Living Facility sits in a quiet, country spot off Highway 39, surrounded by tall, mature trees, and it's got a warm, homey feel about it, especially with cozy fireplaces and outdoor spaces where residents can relax or even keep their pets, and while it's small, that means the staff spend more one-on-one time with each person, showing patience, kindness, and genuine care, like a family's supposed to. The staff keep the place clean and odor-free, serving homemade meals every day made from scratch, including options for special diets like gluten-free, vegetarian, vegan, kosher, allergy-sensitive, or diabetic meals, with room service if residents need it, and there's all-day dining so everyone can eat on their own schedule. Folks get to bring in and decorate their rooms with their own things-those rooms have air conditioning, private baths, full kitchens, even cable and WiFi, plus some are in separate cottages or bungalows, which keeps things cozy and private, and everything's wheelchair accessible, with walk-in showers if someone needs that.

    The care is steady, round the clock, and the team helps out with bathing, dressing, medicine, or moving around, plus they're happy to support those who use walkers or wheelchairs, and they even have memory care and high acuity nursing for those who need more help, including for Alzheimer's and dementia, and the building's secure too. There's laundry and housekeeping, move-in help, and transportation if someone needs to get to a doctor or around town, along with parking for guests and haircuts right there at the facility, and if someone likes quiet, they can sit out in the garden or walk along the paths under the trees, and if they want to socialize, there are community events, scheduled happy hours, game nights, art classes, cooking clubs, musical groups, and chances for folks to garden or even taste wine now and then. The home welcomes both cats and dogs, and it's arranged so every resident can enjoy their own space without feeling crowded, and families who visit say it's got a loving, calm atmosphere, with every staff member bringing comfort and respect to the job.

    Being Christian-based, the home has devotional activities on site and sometimes brings in chaplains or priests, but everyone's welcome, and there is a real focus on treating all residents with dignity and keeping things peaceful and gentle. The facility offers assisted and independent living, skilled nursing, respite care, board and care home services, and memory care, meaning residents can stay as their needs change, and nurses and staff work closely with doctors and other providers to keep up with everyone's health. There are group meals in a community dining room, indoor common areas for chatting, common area TVs, and even educational talks and wellness programs for those who like to stay active mentally and physically, so nobody has to feel isolated or bored. Residents get a lot of options when it comes to choosing their room-they're all furnished, semi-private if preferred, and decorated to make it feel like home, and it all sits in a safe, pretty spot, not far from local towns but far enough to keep things restful. The Good Samaritan Assisted Living Facility aims to make sure everyone there feels at home, well cared for, and part of a real, welcoming community.

    No, The Good Samaritan Assisted Living Facility does not offer respite care.
