Overview of Good Samaritan Society – Fort Collins Village

Fort Collins Village has been doing this a long time. Fifty-three years, to be exact — the Evangelical Lutheran Good Samaritan Society has run this community at 508 W Trilby Rd since long before most of the people currently touring it were born. Natalie Korell administers the community day to day.

You’ve got assisted living, independent living, and respite care under one roof, so a family isn’t necessarily locked into one track if a resident’s needs shift. Sixty-four beds keep it on the smaller side, which tends to mean staff know faces and names rather than room numbers.

Nursing coverage runs around the clock. Registered nurses put in about an hour and six minutes per resident daily, nurse aides closer to two hours, and LPNs add another twenty minutes on top of that. Layered like that, it adds up to real coverage across a lot of the day, not just a name on a schedule. Rehabilitation services and respite care round out what’s medically on offer, backed by dedicated nursing staff.

Day to day, residents have a dining room, a wellness center, an on-site salon, and guest housing when family wants to stay close. Medicaid and Medicare are both accepted here.

Inspections here have circled back to a few recurring areas: medication management, infection control, how care gets planned and documented, and food service. What stands out about this place isn’t any single number, it’s the decades of continuous operation under one steady owner, layered nursing coverage that actually shows up on paper, and a set of core services covering three different levels of care without asking a family to start over somewhere new when things change.

Assisted living in Colorado supports residents with daily activities (bathing, dressing, medication management) while preserving independence.

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.
