Samaritan Village

Overview of Samaritan Village

Samaritan Village runs a large, 277-bed senior living campus out in Hughson, California. Headed by administrator Rikki Perezchica, the place has been a part of the community since 2002, offering a mix of housing setups for older adults. The surrounding area is pretty spread out, so family members visiting from out of town or running quick errands will definitely need a car to get around.

The best part about this campus is that it blends independent living apartments and assisted living care on the same grounds. This setup means residents can easily add extra help with things like bathing, dressing, or keeping track of medications as they get older, all without having to pack up and move to a completely different facility. The property offers several different floor plans, central dining rooms, and shared lounges for daily activities.

State social service inspectors check in on residential care facilities through regular on-site visits to verify safety, kitchen cleanliness, and care records.

Prospective residents can call the office to check on current apartment openings or to set up a tour. The staff can explain how the independent and assisted living pricing works, go over out-of-pocket costs, and show you around the campus grounds.
