Countryside Village

Estelle

We toured Countryside Village. It was very nice. A very nice woman took us around. I didn't like the dining room particularly. It was kind of bare-looking and divided up. It just wasn't inviting. I did visit one apartment, and it was a two-bedroom. I was only interested in a one-bedroom. They had kind of a hot pool which looked very inviting. They had a putting green and some nice walking areas. It was a very nice place. The facility seemed very good.

Countryside Village was very clean. The people were very friendly. We had a meal there, and the food was excellent. They had a nice hot tub pool. It was inside a building, which was very nice, and it was just spotless. They give transportation to the residents. They had programs for the residents, like arts and crafts and exercise. They had a beauty shop there for women and an exercise area. The place was great. It's just we couldn't afford it. The staff was very knowledgeable, extremely pleasant, and answered all our questions. They went at our pace. The facility was excellent. It's pretty new.

Rooms are nicely arranged. Food is good but not enough staff to serve so it is usually cold . Once you have been accepted you are told you can go to the next level of care when/if needed. Not so. Our loved one was on the waiting list for assisted living but when vacancies occurred the room was given to someone else not on the waiting list. That may have been because they had told our loved one that if, after a time, our loved one ran out of money they would take our loved one on Medicaid. Our loved one went into the hospital and we were immediately told our loved one could not come back, additionally, we were charged extra for not giving 30 days notice or 14 days notice if sick. Talk is cheap but no follow through here.

We have selected two places and one of them is Countryside Village. They have a full schedule of activities that residents put together. Residents have little clubs in which they can participate. They have a full-time activities director, too. I looked at the studio and the one-bedroom apartments and both had full-size kitchens because that's my mother's personal preference at this time. The courtyard has a small putting green, a fountain, a gazebo, a gardening space, and then the pool house. The food tasted homemade. The staff were very professional and very willing to spend a lot of time answering your questions. Their community liaison person spent a good full two hours with me as we went through everything. I think if you can afford the prices, it's the place to choose in Grants Pass. I think the distinct difference between Countryside Village and most of the facilities is the length of time they're willing to take with you to show you all the facilities and show you a copy of the contract, a price list, and menus, so you come away with a full folder of information. Their website was also very up-to-date.

We visited Countryside Village. It's the most expensive one in Grants Pass. They were very professional, and we liked that one very much. It was very clean and very attractive, but it was more expensive. They have cottages around the edge. We went into a cottage and that's what we fancied. It was quite big. It was a 2-bedroom, 2-bath. It's very nice. The staff who assisted us during the tour was very good. She took us back to her office afterward and talked about all kinds of things. We had lunch there, and the dining room was very attractive. The lady who helped us was very good, and there's a tall menu. There are a lot of things to choose from. It was very good. They said there was a swimming pool, which you can swim in any time because they keep it very warm. The place was beautiful.

Countryside Village had cottages, apartments, and a separate mental clinic. It's a great facility. They have studio, one-bedroom, two-bedroom, and three-bedroom units. They have 19 cottages on-site anywhere from a one-bedroom to a two-bedroom, and they had little backyards for your pets. They have guided tours in the different areas of Grants Pass and to the Wine Country. They have bingo, cards, games, and finger painting. It's a nice active place.
