Samaritan Village

Samaritan Village, sometimes called Hughson Samaritan Village, is a nonprofit senior living community found in Hughson, California, focused on helping adults over sixty with many different living and care options, spread out across a 20-acre gated campus with studios, cottages, and apartments ranging from cozy sizes up to two-bedrooms with as much as 1,495 square feet, which always come with private balconies or terraces and in-room laundry with modern appliances, plus kitchens with built-in microwaves and dishwashers so residents can live both comfortably and independently. This place has independent living for active seniors, residential living for those needing a bit more help, assisted living with person-centered care, memory care called the Garden House for people living with Alzheimer's or dementia, and there's even a skilled nursing facility on-site with 24-hour supervision and medication management, help with daily activities like bathing or dressing, and both respite and hospice care for short-term or end-of-life needs. They're known for having full-time activity directors who put together more than 130 planned activities each month, including fitness classes, weekly trips and getaways, crafts, games, entertainment, and educational courses so there's always something to do, and plenty of chances to be social or just relax in the indoor heated pool, game lounge, library, arts room, or leafy garden with wide walking paths. The community allows both dogs and cats with a few restrictions, and there's a strong focus on comfort and convenience, so you'll find a restaurant-style dining room serving 45 meals per month as part of the package, dietary options for folks with diabetes or other needs, bi-weekly housekeeping, included utilities like gas and electric, local telephone service, 24-hour emergency call systems, wheelchair-accessible showers, and even a beauty salon and barber shop for personal care. Transportation runs five days a week for outings or medical visits, and they offer scheduled devotional services, resident and guest parking, and special resident-run programs with names unique to the community. They've been recognized for their kind, caring med check staff and caregivers, and residents mention the community feels friendly and supportive, although feedback notes sometimes there are concerns with dining service quality. The place runs with help from grants and has a local board of directors watching over things, and since it's a not-for-profit, some support also goes to other nonprofits in the area. Samaritan Village openly publishes their rent prices so families can plan with no surprises, and there are plenty of floor plans to choose from for studios, one-bedrooms, and two-bedrooms, all with easy access to common spaces indoors and out. The campus overall is set up to let people age in place, with a mix of independent, assisted, memory, and skilled nursing all together, and the community holds a strong reputation with a 4.5-star rating for both care and setting. Residents can join in frequent on- and offsite activities, enjoy music events, movie nights, and field trips, attend onsite devotional services, take advantage of in-apartment laundry and utilities, meet friends in activity rooms, and enjoy the sense of safety that comes from steady staff care, secure entries, and regularly maintained buildings and grounds, making this a place where older adults can live in comfort, get the help they need, and stay active as long as they like.
