We toured Good Samaritan Society - Bonell Community for my mother. They have a large variety of activities, which she liked, and they have a swimming pool, which she liked too. She figured that just enough activities to keep her occupied. They have a couple of activities that she's interested in. There's mahjong, and hand and foot, and then she liked the in-person training for Tai chi and the exercise classes. They have a big variety of rooms, depending on what you're looking for. She will have a one-bedroom apartment, and it's in a newer wing, which is nice. It has a walk-in shower, and she's happy with that. There's a lot of other choices, like she could have gone into the tower, which is a seven-story building that has balconies, but she decided to go in the single-story building. It looked clean and it appeared that they take care of everything. Since she's not in there yet, I'm not sure if there might be something else, but it appeared that it's well-maintained and there's staff to take care of items that you need. The staff that we've dealt with have been very pleasant and tried to help accommodate anything that she's asked for. She will have an outdoor space and they have a community garden. I don't know if they have private gardens, but I know they have a community garden. We had the comments from other people that food was very good, but I haven't tried it, so I don't know.

I toured Good Samaritan Society-Bonell Community Greeley, which is by a Lutheran church. They're Christian-based. The facility was great, but I did not like the atmosphere. Nobody was interacting there. They didn't have things to keep the residents busy, you just sat in your apartment. It wasn't anything to write home about, but it's adequate. Their meals are $10 per meal. The director who held our tour was very knowledgeable, but we didn't see any other staff. I would recommend that they make more rooms in their facility wheelchair accessible or handicapped accessible. The bathroom doorways were maybe 26 inches, I could not even get my walker through them. So even on the independent ones we looked at, the doorways were very narrow.
