Countryside Village

We liked Countryside Secure Memory Care very much. It had a big outside area for the residents to go and walk in. The lady who gave the tour was great. She was very careful and was a wonderful person. They had a patio, barber/beauty shop, and a lot of activities for their residents (like music concerts and outings). The dining room was also very big, very nice, and very open. We just liked everything about it.

My wife has moved into Countryside Secure Memory Care. When I went there, there was full of life. It's a small place. They have 36 patients and it's dedicated to memory care. There are people in varying ranges of comprehension of what's going on around them. But the primary thing seemed to me to be the fact that it had a decent ratio of employees to the number of people that were there. The number of people who were in the place was not overly large. It's not a humongous organization. It looks like it is trying to look as pretty as possible, but it seems to be doing the job and keeping things for my wife working. It was the original impression of the contrast between what I had seen in other places and the fact that this one seemed to be full of life, with lots of activities, things were going on, and nobody was being ignored. It seemed like the right kind of place. Getting her in, I took up the last available place for what that's worth, so they're full for now. My wife has fairly advanced dementia at the moment. It was one of those things trying to take care of her at home and discovering I really can't manage that. I did try their food. At one point I was feeding her and ate some. There were some comments that I did see about the fact that it tended to be more southern recipes styles. I thought some of the things were a little unusual or a little out of the ordinary for them. The food seemed to be good, but I didn't have much more than to sample myself. My wife is actually in a shared room. I wouldn't call it spacious. It was nice and clean. There was one odd thing, but I think we've overcome that, there were some things I took to help decorate the place that seemed to have disappeared. I spoke to the employees there, and they managed to search around and find the things that I was looking for that were missing, and they seemed to be back in place. They have music, which I'm very fond of myself like a sing-along. Then there are other typical things like bingo, coloring books, and physical games. Some of them were doing what's called pass-the-ball around. It's some sort of an exercise, but it also seems to be a game as an activity. They seem to have quite a wide variety of activities that would work. Part of the thing that got me there, in the beginning, was that it seemed like everything was very active and the people were very much integrated as a group among themselves. It seemed more like a family. Also from the point of view of what I'm getting for what I've seen around for other prices, it's probably within reasonable limits and not running over them. What I've seen of the staff, they seem to be very dedicated.

Had to place my Mom here at this facility, The staff was so kind and helpful. They made the transition so easy and made me feel at ease and PEACE with such a HARD decision. Thanks for Lisa, Danielle and the rest of the staff.

My dad has late stage Alzheimer's, and he is beyond assisted living. Countryside Village was my second choice for him. It was fairly up-to-date, more modern looking, and cleaner unlike some other assisted living/nursing homes, which are old looking.
