I did an in-person tour of Country Squire. Right now, with all these things going on, I didn't see a lot of activities. It was a very nice place and big. The halls were very big and spacious. The dining area was very nice and very large. They had little kitchenettes in the rooms. I saw a studio, a one-bedroom, and a one-bedroom that was larger with a big balcony. The first floor had backdoors, and it was pet friendly. They were very nice. Everything was included. I couldn't have been more satisfied with the person who gave me the tour. He was very pleasant, polite, and went out of his way to show me more rooms or apartments than I expected. Everything seemed fine there. I've seen and spoke with a couple people, and they were very friendly. With COVID, they're serving the meals in their rooms. I have a sister-in-law there, so I know the meals are being served in the rooms, and I heard the food is very good. There were a lot of activities on-site.

Country Squire was nice. The room was more like a studio apartment, and it was nice. The dining area was roomy. I would have been happy to live there myself if I had to. It was private pay though, and no nursing assistance after 8:00. The staff was very generous with their time and very easygoing. The place was clean, too.

The room is very nice. The facility is very nice. The staff is friendly however the housekeeping is terrible, the girl does not clean at all. The bathroom does not get cleaned, the furniture does not get dusted and the kitchen does not get cleaned or even wipe down the counter. There are ants all over the kitchen. The food is terrible. The offerings are tasteless and overcooked. The portions are very very small and not emough to feed a grown person. Things were much better 2 years ago under different management. Bobby was great. They encouraged familes to visit and join in the meal. That is not allowed anymore. The staff does not seem as welcoming or interested the the residents at all. Except Cody, she is very kind. We are in the process of looking for a different facility.

Country Squire was a great place, but we can't afford it right now. I saw some ladies doing some crafts and some were playing cards. I saw a few different activities. The staff was very friendly, very informative, and very helpful. I didn't eat the food, but it looked OK.

Country Squire is fabulous and top of the line. It's wonderful and we're very pleased with it. We love it. My dad's apartment is lovely and we like it a lot. The food is great and they have nice activities, like bringing people in to do music, play Jeopardy, and play football games for them. There's male-oriented activities, and mixed activities like Bingo and other games.

My mom moved into Country Squire. They've kept up on the maintenance, but the meals haven't been the best, and a lot of times they'll have hotdogs at night or ham sandwiches. I'm not very happy with the meal situation. She's trying to get a downstairs apartment because she has a dog. They have a lot of activities, like bingo, Wheel of Fortune, and bean bag stuff. The building layout is great, but they could use another elevator because it gets crowded with all the walkers.

I liked Country Squire. We just had one person that we talked to who took us on a visit and she was nice, friendly, and she followed up three or four different times after the visit to see if we still had interest or if there were are any questions. It was laid out better and it was more open than other places, but it was a smaller apartment for the price. The dining area looked nice and there were a lot of people there eating. It was a nice open area and it looked fine.

My mother-in-law is in Country Squire now. They are just great. They are there 24/7, and they have a nurse available for the residents, so it is just really nice. We have eaten there a couple of times, and the food is excellent. She has a one-bedroom apartment with a shower, a little kitchen-type area, and a living area. It also has a nice balcony where she puts her flowers.
