CountrySide Lakes is centrally located in a beautiful setting. The apartments are beautiful. One of my brother's favorite things is the live music every day. They offer three meals plus happy hour. The staff is nice, wonderful, and always willing to help and answer questions. They've been great. They have a physical therapy room, exercise room, billiards, darts, and pool. There's certainly no lack of things to do. Once a month they do a chef's table with a 10-course meal, and it was amazing. It's expensive, but I think it's worth every penny. Every apartment has a really nice, little screened-in patio area. The facility is on six acres with trees, lakes, and walking paths.

CountrySide Lakes is multi-story. They would accept my dog, and I prefer to be at the ground level, so it's easy to get out with my dog, but it was a little expensive for what they had to offer. They had a pool and a dining room. The apartments were a little bigger. They had two-bedrooms, but they did not have any available. Everybody was very nice when I was there and the service seemed to be good, but I do not prefer a multi-story structure.

Mother is in Countryside Lakes. It is a wonderful place. It is on 6 acres, it has 2 lakes, and it has 165 residents and 127 employees. The community is clean and well kept. I’m very happy with it. The staff is very good. It’s excellent. Mother is happy there. Food is excellent. We had dinner there too, and it was very good. I’m very happy with Countryside Lakes.

We are already in Countryside Lakes. Everything has been fine. There are plenty of activities; we are pleased. The staff is very nice, and there is plenty of staff. Food is excellent. We have a swimming pool here, nice surroundings, walking paths, trees, and parking. We have looked at other places and selected this one. We have been here for 5 years.

There’s a bunch of things I like about Countryside Lake. I like the size of it, the fact that they met our needs and what we were looking for, and the location since it is close to places like the church and me. We were waiting on a waiting list, so we really haven't met the staff, except for the people that took us on a tour who were very nice. The size of the room is fine. I think they have a lot of activities. It’s a small facility, which is just what we wanted.

CountrySide Lakes is awesome. They have a restaurant-type menu from which you can pick what you want to eat. The dining hall is nice. They have a wine and cheese bar on Friday nights and go on all kinds of trips. They have two-to-one patient care. It's a little bit on the expensive side, but it’s really nice. Mom is in an apartment, not just a bedroom, and she is very comfortable. I would absolutely recommend this facility.

Countryside Lakes was very inviting, very welcoming. There were plenty of residents around and they seemed very happy. Their price was mid-range. The dining room was very nice. We had lunch, and the food was excellent. The rooms were very nice and very manageable. The facility was more lively than the other ones we visited. There was plenty of amenities, plenty of things to do on and off the property. They take you to the bank and doctor's appointments. They have in-house doctors. We find this facility very pleasant. We are leaning toward choosing this facility.

My mother currently lives at Countryside Lakes. The apartments are small and beautiful but big enough for her and of course homey. They have many activities for the residents like Bingo, movies, church, and even group bus rides outside. The entire facility is very clean! Countryside Lakes is the best looking facility that I’ve seen by far and the residents and staff are always friendly to my mother. What truly impressed and stuck out to me this week and actually had me in “WOW”.. is that every time I come into the dining room with my mom, the supervisors and all of our servers specifically, Nikki and Lauren would always greet us by our first names and ask to see how my mother was doing!! I think that’s just amazing how they actually take the time to remember each and every resident’s name even though they see us for maybe 30 minutes at most in their day. It just really shows that everyone from the nursing to the front desk to even the servers in the dining room at this facility cares for not only my mother, but for every resident there. I wouldn’t want my mother living at any other place and I really recommend it to anyone looking for a great assisted living facility.

Countryside Lakes was another facility that was beautiful, but my mother doesn't have enough money for it. Nevertheless, I like Countryside Lakes very much. It seemed very clean. They were very helpful. I was impressed with this facility because the room was very nice. They also have latches on the door to where as the door opens, the latch bends and they know that they're not in their room at the time. They would check on them to make sure they're OK, so I thought that was a really nice feature.

Countryside Lakes was a big facility. The building and the surroundings were nice. It was lunchtime, but I didn't see a lot of seniors going around like I do with the other facilities I go to. The room I saw looked nice, and it was good for one person or a husband and wife. The grounds also looked nice. They had a lot of room to do stuff, but I never saw seniors out; it could've been the time of day.

We visited Countryside Lakes. The place was clean, and the people were friendly. It was small, and we were impressed by it. We had lunch there, and the food was good. Everybody was very nice, helpful, and friendly. They showed us a room, and they were small. I think no matter where you go, the rooms weren't going to be very large, but everything was absolutely clean. The people living there were friendly, and they were laughing; I didn't find anybody with a frown on their face.

Visited a resident here one week recently on three different days and found the grounds, facilities, dining experience and, most importantly, the staff to all be first rate. I feel quite qualified in, and comfortable with, passing on my observations because my last job before retiring involved seeing, first hand, a number of similar facilities and interacting with numerous residents of those facilities. Countryside Lakes if a well-run facility that's staffed by caring folks. Go visit, inspect, compare; you'll be impressed. All your senses will support and be in agreement with my assessment. Promise....................

The staff of Countryside Lakes was very friendly. I would say it was a five-star place. The only thing I did not like was the way they handled the drugs. That was my only drawback on that place, but otherwise it was beautiful. The dining was good, the food was excellent, and the people were friendly -- they knew all the residents by name. It just was really a nice place. The apartments were beautiful. They have a billiard room, and they have Bingo, movies, church, outings to the shopping center, and certain days that they would take them to their doctors. They had a lot of activities there. What impressed me most was the hominess of it. It was very homey; you went to the dining room, there was a tablecloth just like you would have at home, the food was good, and the service was friendly -- it was just very homey. And the apartment was small, but nice enough to fit your needs and not to get lost.

We placed my mom's friend in Countryside Lakes. It is an assisted living facility. It is homey, friendly and clean. It has just been updated. Going into their dining room was like going to a restaurant. I didn't feel like I was going into an assisted living facility dining room. They also serve great food. This facility also has lots of activities for their residents. With regards to their staff, from the girls in the administration to the wait staff and the aides, they are all very good. They are very qualified for their jobs. Overall, it has been a really good experience.

We chose Countryside Lakes for my sister for its convenience and after visiting several facilities, this seemed to have everything that we were looking for. It’s a beautiful establishment here and it is privately owned and that meant something to us. The residents that I talked to all have positive comments and remarks and that was the decision making process that we went through. I have met a number of the staff and they are very attentive, very well educated and smartly dressed.

Countryside Lakes took my breath away. It was like a little apartment and not just a room. It has 574 square feet. Every apartment had a balcony. It had heater and cooler. It had amenities and I was impressed with it. They had an all-in exclusive apartment complex, which they turned into assisted living. All these people who are still capable of walking in a walker; in a wheelchair or walking on their own could go down in the dining room at night and have dinner.

I am presently staying at Countryside Lakes. It is excellent. The people are wonderful. The apartment itself is lovely. I like that it has a screen-in balcony and a whole lot of windows at the end the living room. The food is outstanding. We have all kinds of activities here depending on what the residents are interested in. We have bingo, concerts, piano and organ people who come in and play, have different games and movies every night. I am really please with them and I am recommending them to others.

Countryside Lakes is the best of all of the facilities I visited. It is also the most expensive. It is definitely beautiful. That place is absolutely first class. Their accommodations are just as beautiful as I could imagine. They have one-bedroom and two-bedroom units available to look at and they were being filled that evening. Their dining room is also beautiful. There are waiters and waitresses. I had lunch there and food was absolutely fabulous. It was like eating in a 10-star restaurant in Manhattan, New York. We were served on individual tables with silverware and crystals and everything. Countryside Lakes is a beautiful facility, but the only thing that turned me off is that they wanted a large amount of money just to get on the waiting list.

The living environment of Countryside Lakes is very, very comfortable. The staff is extremely polite and nice, and I like them best. The food is good and I'm really enjoying my stay here. I wasn't too sure about going into assisted living, but I am very comfortable here.

My son and I went to Countryside Lakes Assisted Living Facility. I was very impressed with how clean it was. It had a lake and a swimming pool. Their staff also were very nice. We had lunch there and their food was very good, very delicious. I told my son that's where I want to go when the time comes.

My mom was at Countryside Lakes for a time. I really liked the staff because they came in to check the residents every two hours. They also took out trash or dirty bedpans in those two hours. They also seemed to have a variety of activities. The food was very delicious. She was in a two bedroom apartment together with my dad before he passed away.

Countryside Lakes is a wonderful place for my mother. She has some dementia now and they take wonderful care of her. She moved in four years ago and has gradually needed additonal care. The place is clean, well-kept, and I have never heard as staff member ever say anything rude or ugly to a resident. The dining room is nice and the food is pretty good. My mother is happy and so am I.
Independent Living Reviews for CountrySide Lakes

My sister moved in independent living of CountrySide Lakes but after we got her in there, we found out that she's not allowed to come and go as she pleases, so she's not very happy. I thought that it was lovely. They have little kitchens; they're small, and the building is old, but I thought it was okay. It's in a very nice area; they have nice grounds. But they don't want my sister to go to the store or even come over to my house, so she's very upset about that. The apartment she got wasn't as nice as the one they showed us. It's about the same as others at $3,000 a month but it includes 3 meals a day, and the cleaning. I guess the value for the money is average. The building itself is lovely, except the apartment that they gave her hasn't been kept up really well. Although it was clean and painted, and everything. But it's an old building, and she's picky.
