Overview of Good Samaritan Society – Loveland Village

Good Samaritan Society, Loveland Village offers assisted living, home care, independent living, and respite care in Loveland, CO. Assisted living provides help with daily tasks while allowing a resident to keep a private living space, while independent living offers private living with community services and no daily care.

Home care allows services to be delivered in a person’s residence. Respite care provides a short stay when someone’s usual caregiver needs time away, so the range of care options may suit a family whose support needs could change over time.

The community has 104 beds and offers one bedroom and two bedroom housing options. Some layouts suit a resident living alone, while others allow a couple to move in together.

The starting price is $5,023, giving families a baseline figure when planning costs. Payment options include Medicaid and Medicare. Medicaid may be relevant when savings may not cover a long stay, while Medicare covers short term skilled care after a hospital stay rather than long term residence.

Tammi Lynn Lehto serves as the administrator. A swimming pool, salon, and spa offer onsite options for exercise and personal care, while ponds and walking trails provide outdoor spaces for walking and spending time outside.

Transportation is available, and pets are allowed. Residents can bring a pet when moving in.

Frequently Asked Questions about Assisted Living in Colorado

What's the difference between assisted living and memory care in Colorado?

Assisted living in Colorado supports residents with daily activities (bathing, dressing, medication management) while preserving independence. Memory care is a specialized form of assisted living for residents living with Alzheimer's or dementia, and adds 24/7 secured environments, dementia-trained staff, and structured routines designed to reduce confusion and wandering.

What's the difference between assisted living and a nursing home in Colorado?

Assisted living in Colorado is a residential model focused on housing, hospitality, and help with daily activities. Nursing homes (skilled nursing facilities) provide 24/7 medical care from licensed nurses for residents with significant health needs, and are regulated more strictly under both state and federal CMS rules.

Does Colorado Medicaid cover assisted living?

Colorado Medicaid does not directly pay room-and-board for assisted living, but most states (including Colorado) offer Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS) waivers that can offset the cost of care services delivered inside a licensed community. Eligibility, waitlists, and covered services vary — check directly with the state Medicaid agency.

What is assisted living?

Assisted living combines private or semi-private apartments with help on activities of daily living (meals, bathing, dressing, medication management) and a social calendar — for residents who need some support but do not need 24/7 medical care.

How many assisted living facilities are listed on this page?

This page features 424 assisted living facilities in Colorado. Use the filters and comparison tools above to compare ratings, amenities, and pricing.

How do I choose the right assisted living facility in Colorado?

Start by matching the level of care offered to the resident's current and anticipated needs, then compare licensing status, staff-to-resident ratios, recent inspection results, and pricing. Tour at least two or three communities in Colorado, talk to current residents and families, and confirm what is included in the base rate versus billed as add-on services.

What should I look for when visiting assisted living facilities in Colorado?

Pay attention to staff interactions with residents, cleanliness and odor, food quality at meal times, the activity calendar, and how questions about pricing and care plans are answered. Ask to see the most recent state inspection report, the move-out / level-of-care-change policy, and a sample monthly bill that lists every fee.
