Samaritas Senior Living of Saginaw is part of a respected tradition of compassionate service, deeply rooted in the broader mission of supporting vulnerable communities in Michigan. With origins dating back to the 1930s, this organization carries forward a legacy of dedication to those in need. In South Saginaw, a region often challenged by economic and educational barriers, the center stands as a beacon for senior residents, ensuring they receive high-quality care and life-enriching services even in the face of adversity. The surrounding community grapples with significant issues such as high unemployment, financial hardship, and limited access to healthy food and technology. Against this backdrop, Samaritas Senior Living of Saginaw remains committed to fostering security, dignity, and comfort for its residents, many of whom have spent their lives serving and nurturing their families and neighborhoods.
The center offers more than just residential care – it is a cornerstone of hope and support for individuals and families. Services provided extend beyond senior living to include adoption, foster care, and disability support, reflecting a holistic approach to the wellbeing of the entire community. For many, Samaritas Senior Living of Saginaw offers not only a safe and nurturing environment, but also access to programs and personal care that can vastly improve quality of life. The staff embraces a philosophy of serving people as an expression of love, guided by a deep sense of responsibility and faith. This culture of care is especially important in an area where nearly half of all grandparents are primary caregivers for their grandchildren, and household income often falls well below the national average.
In addition to its foundational services, plans are underway to launch Substance Use Disorder (SUD) counseling and Opioid Clinic support tailored for adolescents, adults, and families throughout the neighborhood. Recognizing the substantial demand for these programs in Saginaw’s diverse neighborhoods, this expansion demonstrates an ongoing commitment to addressing the evolving healthcare and wellness needs of the community. Residents and families look to Samaritas Senior Living of Saginaw not just for daily care but as a trusted resource, engaging in events and volunteer opportunities that reinforce connections both within the center and to the wider Saginaw area. Every aspect of its work is infused with the enduring values of compassion, service, and a genuine commitment to improving lives—one person, one family, one neighborhood at a time.
