In a word...exceptional. The people, both staff and residents, could not be more welcoming, informative and interesting. Top-notch services, amenities, programs and facilities. Some of the programs that were most helpful to us include their Senior Planning Expo, the Parade of Homes events and a Rightsizing presentation. Country House has much to offer and they have gone out of their way to both inform and educate us as we were researching CCRC communities.

The staff were all very professional, knowledgeable and polite. I bought 2 rooms of draperies and was shocked when the installers showed up & they had no material steamer. They said the wrinkles would fall out in about a week or so.🥺 For the $$$ we spent they should have at least steamed them! Otherwise, colors are accurate and quality is good.

Some of the happy retired folks I have encounter. Great facilities, new cottages, new apartments, swimming pool and club house, and fitness center coming soon. Great staff.

An absolutely beautiful living facility from what I saw. And the aroma coming from the kitchen was wonderful. I should have accepted my friend's invitation to dine but I couldn't stay. Very nice area, very upscale. Very expensive to live there and in that area. If you're looking to stretch your retirement dollar, this area isn't exactly the place or area. But if finances are flush, then this is a nice choice.

Great place! My great grandparents on both sides resided here. My grandparents on my fathers side lived there, one still there now (list came from visiting Gramma actually!). Everyone has taken great care of my family there.
