21 reviews on Google“Country Life consistently delivers exceptional personal care with staff who treat residents like family, maintaining excellent communication with families throughout their loved one's stay. The overwhelmingly positive reviews span 7+ years, though one significant concern emerges around billing practices after death. With only 19 reviews for a 16-bed facility, the sample is limited but remarkably consistent.”

Questions for Your Tour
- 1I noticed your team is very responsive to online feedback; how do you maintain that same level of communication with families regarding daily updates on their loved one?
- 2With your beautiful grounds and long-term residents, what are some of the favorite daily activities or social opportunities that keep residents engaged here?
- 3Could you walk me through how you coordinate specialized services like physical therapy to ensure residents get the care they need without leaving the facility?
- 4Since you have residents who have been here for many years, how do you handle the transition of care if a resident’s medical needs change significantly over time?
- 5I want to make sure I fully understand the financial side of things; could you explain your policy regarding billing and move-out procedures in the event of a resident's passing?
- 6Given your small capacity of 16 residents, how does your staff ensure that each individual receives the personalized attention that your team is so well-known for?

Key Review Excerpts
“Although I live in Florida, ChristyAnn kept in constant touch with me... even though Sally passed in October, ChristyAnn sent me a text in December just to see how I was doing.... who does that? The caring and loving staff at Country Life”
“She was highly defensive and condescending and when I expressed to her that I felt that was unacceptable to charge a month when he would not be there... She finally stated that she would accept no less than 1/2 a months rent ($2300) for the 18 hours he was there.”
“Country Life should be an example for all assisted living facilities”
