Countryside Assisted Living

Reviewer#LD101923A

We chose Countryside Assisted Living for my mom. They did all they could to make space available so that we could put her in memory care. It's a very lovely place. As soon as I went in, I felt very comforted that the employees and residents seemed to be happy and going about their day, which wasn't the same atmosphere where she moved from. Right off the bat, everyone did whatever they could to help and reassured me that Mom didn't need to go to a nursing home, and that they could take care of her even through hospice. They've done everything they could to make us feel comfortable. And it's really obvious, especially on the memory care side, that she's well cared for. All their employees just seem loving and caring, whereas I have witnessed other places have a lot of frustrated employees. So, whatever they're doing to train each other or how they're selecting their caregivers is wonderful. My mom is enjoying her food, but I haven't experienced it. Memory care doesn't do as many activities as assisted living. It's just trying to take care of them and keep everybody peaceful. I'm very satisfied and relieved even though I can't be there all the time. Where she was previously, I was constantly getting phone calls and there were constant problems and I was always worried about her. And I didn't realize after we placed Mom here how much more relaxed I am that she's being cared for in a proper humane way which hasn't necessarily happened in the past.
