Our Mom had been in a facility that had originally told us they had memory care, but when her dementia became worse, they were not equipped to deal with her, and asked us to take her somewhere else! Then, a coworker, who also works at CM part time, told me about CM and how much SHE loves working there. So we called, and the rest is a very happy ending to our story. CM welcomed Mom with open arms, reassured our family, and started weaning her off the heavy medications she had been on. Withing weeks at CM, Mom started recognizing family (!), and can often interact with us. She is up out of a wheelchair and getting around with her walker, she has started eating better. The facility is clean, warm and welcoming. We notice the little things too, an offer for an apple juice, encouragement to eat, redirecting her when she is anxious, letting her choose what she wants for a meal, seeing that she is dressed nicely each day, having a shadow box outside her room, which allows her to know where she is/where she needs to go. Our family will be forever indebted to Country Meadows. They are making Moms last bit of life warm, safe, secure and positive!

We toured Country Meadows of Mechanicsburg for my mother. They have continuing care there, and they have people that check on you daily. They check your room daily. If you don't answer, they come in and check you. They have doctors that come there to treat you. They have meals available if you need them. They assign someone like an ambassador, that is another client there, who helps you with questions and welcoming you to the area when you're new. We felt that they had a lot of involvement for t...

I like Country Meadows of Mechanicsburg the best, and I think they have what I am looking for. The only thing is they have a bigger apartment than I want and they only have a one-bedroom studio. They have two bedrooms, but they're locked in. They don't have enough of them, so I don't want to rent one that's bigger than what I need and I don't want to downsize to something smaller than what I need. The lady gave me the impression that there's no hope in the near future to get one of those because...

Decisions about care for our loved ones are hard and Country Meadows is not only providing excellent care for my Mom, but made the entire process easy for our family. Mom transitioned to Country Meadows on short notice from a rehab facility. The Marketing Director, A.M., and her colleagues were outstanding to work with at every step and went above and beyond to assist w/the transition. My Mom (who previously never spent a night alone) has been there 3 days and we are continually impressed at the...

After a lengthy hospital stay I was advised that it would be best for my wife to be placed in an assisted living facility. After searching I decided on Country Meadows of Mechanicsburg. I wasn’t sure if it was the best choice but my wife and I soon found that it was. Everyone at Country Meadows, administrative, nursing, maintenance, cleaning, kitchen, etc always treated us with respect and a caring attitude. If we needed anything we were never told that we would need to see someone else the indi...

We are going to use Country Meadows of Mechanicsburg for my mother. It has been a family-owned business for over 50 years now. So the stability of one ownership is very encouraging. We went there and we all liked it. It's very friendly. They call their patients neighbors, and we like that. It's a little dated, but it doesn't matter. They're very caring. My mother can be in her room, but it's still close to where everything's at. It's also convenient for the three of us to be able to visit her. ...

My overall visit to Country Meadows Retirement Communities was good. I like this place the best. It fits the best for my mom. The staff was very nice. They were all very pleasant and very helpful. They would return phone calls right away, so that was good. Their rooms were a nice size for what she needed in personal care. I saw the residents having a group session in the one large room that they were sitting in. There were memory things on a white board, and they were engaged. They had a nice li...

My father has been at Country Meadows of Mechanicsburg for three to four months now. It's very family-oriented. They take care of them very well. He's got a living room and a separate bedroom, so it's almost like an apartment. They also have the two-bedroom and one room, and they come furnished. They have board games, puzzles, and different rooms in the facility to sit and talk with other guests. They have a courtyard and a barber. Depending upon your skill set, you can leave the building and th...

This facility is well taken care of, maintenance is performed in a timely manner. Staff are very nice and seam caring most of the time. The cleaning staff does a fairly good job in and out of rooms. There are several activity rooms and are well used by the residents. Management and nursing stay on top of things. I frequently get calls on mom's condition. My mother for the most part is very happy with the food and the dinning facility is nice and well kept. All-in-all I and my mom are ...

My mom is now in Country Meadows of Mechanicsburg and she's in the assisted living or personal care. She hasn't been there more than a couple of months. They moved the room because when she first got in, they were rehabilitating her from a pelvis fracture. She was in a different room now which is just around the corner from the old one. The community looks nice. They give you a better choice of food and the little campus and the courtyards are pretty. I seem to see a lot of the communities now a...

Every member of your staff was engaged, leaning in, and listening to the needs of our family , as well as the wishes of the patient (my god mother) with compassion and dignity. I would also like to recognize the remarkable care provided by the Hospice team of professionals for the extraordinary care provided at the end of our dear family members life. it is reassuring to know that Country Meadows is part of our local community.

The past 60 days has been an overwhelming journey for our family as we navigated our parents hospitalizations, rehabilitations, moves from an independent living facility to assisted living at Country Meadows, and the eventual death of our father. It’s not an understatement to say that the staff at Country Meadows was outstanding every step of the way. The marketing team, the transportation drivers, the nursing staff, the kitchen personnel and maintenance staff are professional and kind in the ...

My parents are in Country Meadows of Mechanicsburg independent living facility, but they have assisted living and memory care as well. They seem to like it, but it's very expensive. It's a nice place. The staff is very good. They seem to like the food. They have bingo, cards, entertainment, people come in and entertain them, movies, and crafts.

My parents are in Country Meadows of Mechanicsburg. It's very nice, very clean, and very friendly. They both like their rooms, they love the food, they love the staff, and my mom kept saying over and over again how impressed she was that all of the staff members know every resident's name. They are in a large studio. They have an exercise room, a training center, a chapel, a beauty salon, a very nice dining room with cloth napkins and tablecloths, and they have 24/7 access to coffee, tea, juice,...

Country Meadows was nice. It would have been my second choice, but the managers just seemed uppity, not down to earth.
Provider Response
Thank you for your visit. Everyone on our management team is very warm and compassionate. In fact, we find those traits to be some of the most important in serving seniors, and we specifically seek co-workers with those qualities. There may have been other items going on behind the scene which took away our co-workers’ attention when you stopped by. Please consider giving us another chance and stop in for a visit again soon.

We visited Country Meadows of Mechanicsburg. We didn't have any problems at all. Everybody was very helpful. They gave us brochures and fact sheets. They took us on a great tour through the area. The rooms were very nice, but we weren't interested in shared rooms. We wanted at minimum a studio. It was the closest to us because we live right off Trindle. They did have activities.

Thank you for your note and for your visit. Please check back with our team frequently as our open apartments change daily. Our team works very, very hard to make Country Meadows an attractive, engaging and safe place for every resident and their guests. We hope to see you again soon.

I work as a caregiver and frequently have clients that live in country meadows. I have had very poor experiences with the staff. There have been many times that I've been working with the staff and they have pulled me aside and talked poorly of my clients. A few months ago I had a client who passed out while on the toilet. The PCA who was assisting me told me to stand on the other side of the bathroom (as if I didn't know what I was doing) and tried to pick my client up on her own while she was ...

My parents moved in at Country Meadows about 3 years ago. We were very satisfied and that's why we decided to stay there. They are very happy with the staff and with the activities that are involved. They were in an independent-living and they had 2 rooms and recently moved into assisted living and they have just 1 room now. Having just one room met their needs so that was fine. They're very happy with the quality of the food and the variety. They said if the portions were small, they just ask ...

Very disappointed in the care my father received while living at CM in the dementia unit. Lack of proper training of the PCA's, short staffed, kitchen and dining area for the residents very dirty, lost clothing and personal belongings, and the list goes on. One major factor one should consider before making a decision as to whether or not to reside at this facility is there is NO skilled nursing care. If you want your loved one to live there for the rest of their life, consider a facility wi...

I would first like to start by saying that Country Meadows is a beautiful facility. But, as most of us know, beauty is only skin deep. Since selling their home and moving to Country Meadows in October of 2012, my grandparents have had nothing but sub-par treatment from the staff. My grandmother is in Independent Living and my grandfather resides in the Alzheimer’s/dementia unit, being unable to care for himself anymore. My grandmother pays out roughly $7,000 a month for both she and my grandfath...

We’re very sorry that you had a negative experience with us. As a provider of senior living services ranging from independent living to personal care, memory support, and restorative care, our greatest concern is to provide cutting edge, quality care services to our residents. However, when a resident’s needs surpass what we can safely offer, we provide referrals to trusted organizations that offer a higher level of care and can help with the transition.

My four sisters and I went to Country Meadows for my mother. This is one of the places that stood out for us. Their rooms were nice and very clean. Their food was great. We had a complimentary meal there and it was very nice. However, my mom is kind of a country girl and Country Meadows is more of a residential area. We thought that she would be more comfortable in a rural type of setting rather than this one.

The facility is run by outgoing and kind individuals, and there are a lot of daily activities for the residents but my grandfather has become ill several times as a direct result of the actions of the staff. He has contracted C Diff on multiple occasions due to treatment while a resident, even after repeated warnings from an outside RN.

Dear Central PA Living:
Thank you for your kind words about our Country Meadows co-workers. You are absolutely correct"”they truly do care about our residents. I frequently see some co-workers come in on their days off simply to visit residents or help with activities.

Everything was wonderful! In fact, we wish my mother- in-law would've gone there. But right now, she's not ready and we can't do anything about it. We really liked the place! We know several people in the facility and they all love it. It's a neat and beautiful place, and they say the food there is wonderful, too. Well, we didn't get to taste it, but the people I know that live there says it is.

My mom has been a resident of Country Meadows for almost two years, living in their independent living building. She is 88 years old and in relatively good health. Her apartment is lovely, clean, and safe. The two meals a day which are provided are, for the most part, nutritious, appealing, and easy for her to consume. Transportation is provided twice a week to the supermarket, drugstore, and a small, local mall. Each trip is one hour, not quite adequate if a resident wants to shop for a pa...
