Country Care Assisted Living Cottonwood, AZ

My sister had an illness and stroke. She needed to heal and we found great support and encouragement from the staff of Country Care. Not only did they help her with recovery, they also celebrated her progress. We made friends there and are extremely grateful for everyone at Country Care.

I wouldn't recommend Country Care in Cottonwood. That place is a bunch of little cottages. When you walk in there's no recreation and no interactions, they're just there sitting and watching TV. It's very isolated. I guess for somebody who doesn't have a lot of money it would be OK, but there's no type of interaction, like outside people coming in to do things. The care seems OK, and the staff was fine, but the rest of it was not. One of the rooms smelled like urine, and they're very small. Even my bathroom is bigger than their rooms. They said their outside gate is locked, but it's not even a gate. It's like a porch, so if you have a high-functioning resident they can easily climb up it.

The 10 months I have lived at Country Care, the prospective has changed from good to excellent. The sense of humor from the caregivers, owners and residents take the "sting" out of life's difficulties. Often laughter erupts all around. We have Halloween parties and Christmas parties, a hairdresser, church services, a singer with a guitar, piano player and mini horses to feed and pet at different times. They keep us entertained if we choose, or let us decline the entertainment. It's more like a country home.

Country Care is a great assisted living home. It has a homelike atmosphere. The caregivers are very attentive to Mom and truly have a heart for all of the residents. They serve delicious meals! I am delighted that they have regular holiday celebrations and events for the residents and their families to enjoy.

My mom Colleen has been at Country Care in Cottonwood for almost 3 years. She likes it there and we are very pleased. The caregivers are great, and Mike and Lou are very caring and reachable. We are very pleased.

I would rate Country Care a 5 star! They provide a home type atmosphere, with delicious meals, beautiful indoor and outdoor surroundings, loving care and fun activities and celebrations!

After interviewing 3 assisted living home, it became apparent that I did not know what requirements we would need for our 98-year old mother. I finally discovered Caring.com and they were able to set desirable guidelines, recommendations and locations of homes in our area. We were then able to ask the 15 questions we felt were most important and after interviewing 11 establishments we chose Country Care in Cottonwood, AZ. The care she received from Country Care was so kind and loving. Her stay was individualized, she was treated with respect, and she remained safe. Mother seemed quite content with her new home. Please take this as a positive recommendation for both Country Care and Caring.com.

My mother passed in January of this year and I needed to find a place for Dad, as needed some assistance for his daily life, that, due to health problems of his own, I am not able to provide. I found several referral agencies on line and reached out to them for help in finding him a place. I was doing this all long distance, as I was in West Virginia taking care of Dad, and wanted to bring to Arizona to be closed to myself and my wife, as he has no other living relatives other than possibly a long-lost cousin or two. Caring.com provided the referral to Country Care and I found both Mike and Lou to be very personable, knowledgeable and eager to help. My wife was able to go to Cottonwood for a tour as we live close. She was favorably impressed so we decided to move Dad in. At least if this home was not the right fit, we would have Dad in Arizona so finding another place would be easier to do. In the six months that Dad has been there, we have found that we do, in fact, have a very good fit for him. I am retired, so can go see Dad several times each week, and have never had any indication of anything but him getting excellent care. In fact, his only complaint is that they feed him too much. This is funny coming from him because he is such a picky eater, but they seem able to adjust to things like this much better than bigger, institutional places would be able to do. In short, we are very happy with the choice we made, and it helps that the cost is competitive with other facilities that we looked at.
