My father Sylvester spent the last 4 months of his life in Country Retreat in which Natalia was main his nurse on that floor. Words cannot express the kindness and hope she brought to my father and our family. Natalia along with other staff Amber and more made my father not only comfortable but welcomed as it was his own home as well as us when we were there to visit daily. Very Thankful for this facility and the people whom work there. Please give praise where it is deserved. Residents at Country Retreat are very lucky to have such a wonderful caring staff (Natalia) and crew.

Mom is getting excellent care there. It's all local people. It's a clean place and it has very good food. Excellent staff as well. They are accommodating, warm and friendly. I very much like the atmosphere there. Well, I think all those places are somewhat an institution, you can't get away from that. But, it's the atmosphere there and how you're treated by their staff that makes you feel at home. I think their staff and their cleanliness are the best thing. Everything is good there. We don't have any complaints.

Care givers / staff are very compassionate and skilled at managing various levels of needed care including medical / nursing care as well as emotional and spiritual care for all residents!

The staff were probably the best part of the facility. They were very kind and accommodating both to residents and visitors. They had a lot of tact and empathy when my grandmother passed away there. For activities I know the residents had regular Bingo and Happy Hour which was awesome! The building itself was nothing special. There was a loud alarm system that frequently went off if people exited the building incorrectly. The place was already festive and decorated according to seasons/holidays. They worked to make it an inviting atmosphere. There were animals allowed in the building. There was a community dog and one or two cats that lived there along with a large fish aquarium. The general atmosphere there (as with most nursing homes) was still depressing and kind of smelly. It was a well kept facility but didn't have anything too exciting to offer. There's a wide open eating area where the residents can observe all the activity going on in the building.
