John Ganton's Countryside

My sister-in-law is at Countryside Retirement Community. It's very clean and out of all we visited, that's the one she wanted to go to. The staff is very friendly. They have bible study, music, and church. Her one-bedroom apartment is very nice. We saw several and that's what she wanted, so that's the one she got. They have wi-fi, they take her medicine to her, libraries, and common areas. They're very well kept. Value for money is pretty good.

We chose Countryside Retirement Community for my aunt because we like the facility. It was very clean, very modern, and very well-kept. The person that was showing me through was very informative and friendly. The facility was all very clean and well taken care of. It's located so you can easily access most of anything.

My mom is at Countryside Retirement Community. They send a newsletter every week for new updates, but other than that, it's really been kind of tough as far as having visitors because we can't go there. My suggestion would be that with COVID, more communication would be better. The staff has been good and they've been helpful. The building looks modern. There's actually a bunch of them, it's not just one, it's like a whole city block of buildings. They have an activity room.

My father is at Countryside Retirement Community. It's been an excellent experience. The person that I spoke with initially to learn more about the whole community was the coordinator and liaison, and she put her best foot forward. She was more than helpful, very caring, went above and beyond to do things when we were in a crisis trying to get the right kind of care for him. They made themselves available to us. I can communicate by phone or by email. He loves the food there. His room was perfect, clean, painted, had lovely carpeting, and a spacious handicap bathroom. It had everything that we wanted, and the price was right.

I visited Countryside Care Center. They have different ranges there, but I was just in the medical unit to visit someone. They're very well managed. I know families who have family members there, and I hear good things from them. They have a good reputation in the area as well. The staff members I met were very helpful. My experience with them has been good. They were very attentive to what was going on in the wing that I was in. The area is very accessible. There's not a great deal of heavy traffic, and the buildings are set up where they have a lot of green space between them and walkways. The parking is adequate. It's a big campus.

Countryside Manor is nice. The staff is friendly, and it's been a good experience so far. The food is nice, too. My mother has a nice studio apartment. They let the residents make it their own, so they can add curtains or paint on the wall as long as they don't wreck anything. She did an exercise class, and she's looking forward to a celebration on Tuesday. She said she wanted to participate in crafts making. The price is worth it for my mother's safety, but it's not affordable for a lot of people.

Countryside Manor is a very nice, bright and cheerful place. The staff overall is very accommodating and efficient. We have excellent food and dining is very flexible. It's open from 7:00 to 7:00 and you can always order off of a menu that is open all the time with different choices. We've been very comfortable here. The rooms are nice and we brought our own furniture, so that makes it homey, and my husband has continued to improve. They have a number of activities. I enjoy the dining experience with other people and they have a café. They have exercise, bingo, different games, and people come for music or singing presentation. We're able to take advantage of anything that is at the Countryside Grand across the street or at the care center connected to this community.

John Ganton's Countryside is great. It's a happy place and they have great workers there. I would definitely recommend it. There are a lot of activities for my mother-in-law to do to keep her busy, like adult coloring books. They have at least one or two things going every day. She's there for independent living for now. The dining room is excellent. I haven't met anybody there that hasn't been smiling. They're very pleasant to her. There are four separate villas at this place, but she can go to each and every one of them through a bus that they have on campus if she wants to do a different activity. The community is a little bit more down to earth.

John Ganton’s Countryside Care Center had a little bit of everything to offer to everyone, whether they'd be living in a single home unit or in the several different buildings on-site, like music and transportation to shopping and entertainment in the evening. The staff was extremely courteous and friendly. They provided an area for people to plant flowers or vegetables.

I thought the facilities were nice and communal. There was a lot of interaction between the residents. This was nice to see considering the social nature of my grand mother. When we would go to visit she always seemed dignified and in good spirits. It was almost like she felt at home there. You could always tell that she did not quite feel comfortable because the nurse would come over with medication and would simply enter and take care of business as opposed to knocking and treating her with any kind of privacy. As social as grandmother was, she also valued her privacy. This lack of privacy caused her to remain on edge and nervous until she finally ended up at the hospital where she passed away. When she was interacting with the other people, it was not over silly games or puzzles which were in great abundance. It was just around a dinner table or just in a circle where the old ladies would talk and talk. My grandmother retained her mind for the most part during this time and she really appreciated the processional nature of the staff working here. There was never a time when she complained about any of them.

While attending game day I was able to observe a very friendly staff. They were friendly to me and their tenants. The facility was fairly new but well kept. There were plenty of seating for guests and the tenants. I viewed a couple of the rooms and they seemed well kept. They both had nice looking beds and it appeared that each room has a TV and their own bathroom. I was impressed with the amount of flowers and the selection of the decor. There were special days planned for the tenant such as game day and family day. I was able to have lunch there as well. The food was pretty good and there was a nice selection for the tenants. I have only attended one of the game days, but I am planning to attend more. Overall I was impressed with the retirement home and would feel comfortable with having family staying there.
