Good Samaritan Society - Prairie View Gardens sits at 1705 Prairie View Place, offering several different types of care under one roof, so folks can find help for all sorts of needs, whether it's independent living, assisted living, twin homes, memory care, adult day services, or short-term respite whenever families need to figure things out. The place uses unique names for certain areas, and it's all run by the Good Samaritan Society, which means there's a faith-based touch and connections to the Good Samaritan Foundation and community partners if seniors need extra support or referrals. The staff are known to be friendly and helpful, always working to give respectful, compassionate care, which goes a long way when seniors need help with healthcare, incontinence, diabetic care, non-ambulatory assistance, and daily activities. There are different programs for folks, like memory care assisted living, where the team makes sure residents with dementia have a secure place, get personalized plans, plus fun and helpful things to do that keep their minds active and let them connect with others.
There's a big mix of places to live, such as assisted living apartments and twin homes meant just for older people. The campus itself feels welcoming, with walking trails, a gazebo, pond with a fishing dock, prayer garden, and plenty of shady spots to sit. They've got an ice cream parlor, soda shop, private dining room, aviary sitting area, a salon, and big spaces for gatherings. Social events fill the calendar, including educational sessions about dementia, devotional activities, on-site and offsite outings, and structured programs to stay active, learn, or get creative. Nutritious food is served daily, always made with good ingredients, and there's an option for both short-term and long-term stays depending on what's needed. Adult day programs provide a safe, steady setting for those who only need part-time help. Prairie View Gardens can handle group travel, meetings, and even sports events with their common areas, so there's always a way to connect or break up the routine. Awards like Best of Senior Living and Best Activities in Senior Living point to all the effort put into making life here richer, but in the end, it boils down to a place where older adults can find a steady hand, a safe home, and chances to live in a way that works best for them.
