Key Review Excerpts

My mother stayed here for several months and the staff was so attentive and kind. Very clean place. Definitely recommend for anyone whose loved one may be in need of extra care or rehabilitation.

Long-term resident's family · 2021★★★★★

The staff was very loving and attentive. Genie, my wife, was in Country Trails for two weeks and made great improvement in her health. She especially liked the therapy team.

Rehab patient's spouse · 2019★★★★★

Thought it would be a good place but my grand mother has had medical incidents due to the staff not giving her medication on time. Also feeds them terrible food and rarely gives her showers.
