Key Review Excerpts
“The nurses, therapists and everyone I met at Country Meadows was kind, caring, and concerned about the health and welfare of my father. I can now sleep at night knowing he is”
“Most of the nurses are very good. However, they make you wait forever unless they have completely forgotten about you. I saw first hand that mom and her roommate asked for help from the nurse and were both ignored.”
“Exceptional care at Country Meadows. I’m caregiver to a friend who spent 20 days at CM. He received excellent medical care, excellent physical therapy and excellent nutrition.”

Inspection History
Medicare Inspection History

Country Meadows has ongoing fire safety and building maintenance issues that persist across all three surveys, with recurring problems in fire alarm systems, construction standards, and emergency preparedness appearing repeatedly from 2023 to 2025. The facility also had deficiencies in care planning and treatment quality in the most recent survey. While all violations have been corrected according to federal records, the pattern of repeated fire safety issues suggests persistent maintenance challenges that families should discuss during visits.
