October 2015. It has been a great
experience for all of us. Mom has

“I visited friends here several years
ago. I remember how impressed
I was with the community. I
wanted to take away concerns
my children had about me living
alone. So, when I started thinking
about moving to a senior
community, my first thought was
Samaritas Senior Living. I moved
in more than a year ago and have
loved my life here. I have made
so many new friends and the
staff have been wonderful. It was
a good decision for me and also
my children do not worry about
Samaritas has been everything I
had hoped it would be.”

“Our mother and family have
been very impressed by the high
level of care and the genuine
concern for her needs, expected
and unexpected. The transition
was easier thanks to the kindness
of the staff and the other
residents. Samaritas offers many
activities and our mother has
made numerous new friends, all
in a similar chapter of life.”
