Good Samaritan Society - Arapahoe has a long history in the community and provides a range of care options for seniors who need help, whether that means independent living, assisted living, nursing home care, or memory care for Alzheimer's. The Evangelical Lutheran Good Samaritan Society runs the facility and puts a strong focus on Christian values and sharing God's love, so people who live here often find comfort in that mission. Folks get access to care for daily needs like dressing, bathing, medications, and meals, and there are nurse (RN), LPN, and CNA staff who handle health issues around the clock. Every resident gets a private room, which is unique for the neighborhood, and there are 30 certified beds, all usually full. The place runs as a non-profit and has both Medicare and Medicaid certification, so people who need financial help can still come here.
Physical, occupational, and speech therapy are available at the C.A. Mues Skilled Nursing unit, with special programs for things like pressure ulcers, urinary tract infections, weight management, or different disabilities. Seniors get checked for health problems, stay on set care protocols, and receive support with vaccinations for flu and pneumonia to help keep everyone well. The staff helps with meals and can handle special diets like diabetes or allergies, and the dining options are all-day, restaurant-style, and people can eat together in a dining room. The rooms come furnished with telephones, and there's an emergency alert system in case of trouble.
People get entertainment and engagement through arts and gardening activities, movie nights, walking paths, and a resident council where everyone gets a voice. There's a barber and salon on-site, housekeeping and laundry services, and staff to help with moving in. The facility runs adult day programs, respite care, and offers advice on legal, insurance, and financial matters. Housekeeping, all laundry, and meals are provided, and the grounds have gardens and walking paths for those who want to spend time outdoors. The staff works with residents and families through councils to make sure needs are met, but the place is still small enough that everyone knows each other.
Good Samaritan Society - Arapahoe meets state and federal inspection standards and has safety measures in place. The fire protection system is partially sprinklered. For those interested, tours are available to see the rooms and meet staff. Seniors from all backgrounds, including those with disabilities or specific health conditions, are welcome, and there are guides and resources to help families find the right care. The center is right in a quiet area of Arapahoe, not far from Arapahoe Medical Clinic and Arapahoe Pharmacy, and is surrounded by a close-knit neighborhood with a median income around $55,936 and life expectancy at 79 years. Staff say the focus remains on health, dignity, and creating a supportive place for seniors and their families, with services aimed at helping people live as well as possible for as long as they can.
