COUNTRY MEADOWS OF WEST SHORE

My Aunt suffers from tremors and was in need of care after her husband was suddenly hospitalized and put under hospice care. Angela and Country Meadows were there for her and found her an assisted living room. She is settling in beautifully and enjoys the bingo, exercise classes and weekly outings! Everyone is so friendly and welcoming!!

In October 2024, my mom (93) went in to Country Meadows assisted living on Trindle Road. She was reluctant but due to circumstances, could not safely return to her townhouse. She had always protested the idea of moving into a “home”. After being in assisted living for a few months, she sheepishly confided to me that she “should have done it years ago”. The constant activities (including transportation to outings), the staff, etc were great. It never felt like a nursing home but rather a happy community with apartments. My mom then had a stroke and had to leave building 2 to building 3 for increased care. (Pathways). While she was not able to do “everything”, she continued to be involved in the community life even if she was wheel chair bound. The staff always facilitated that contact. As she declined, we kept her in her apartment on Hospice. The staff was so loving and attentive to her, it was actually unbelievable. The Meadows was always clean, smelled good, the staff was respectful and very caring. What I thought would be a terrible situation turned out to be a wonderful experience. There is also a dementia wing. I looked at a lot of places and was guided here by God and my gut. No guilt for me.. I believe her last months were simply terrific!

My family is very grateful for the Memory Care at Country Meadows, Mechanicsburg. The attentive care provided by the staff has been a consolation during a very difficult time. I have peace in knowing that when I cannot be there my parents are being lovingly cared for.

My mother-in-law had a 2 week respite stay at Country Meadows and it was wonderful. The communication was incredible (even texting me a pic to show how happy she was) throughout the stay; my MIL felt welcomed immediately and was thoroughly satisfied with her stay. It was great to have peace of mind while we were away and know that she was having her own vacation -- and of course, she loved the dessert tray that came around after meals!

My mother has been living at Country Meadows in Independent Living for over five years. It has been a wonderful experience exceeding our expectations. Her studio apartment is large and inviting. She enjoys the many activities scheduled on a daily basis. She has been exercising for the first time in her life! She loves the food, it is truly prepared by a chef. Life was extremely difficult during Covid but mom was kept safe and stimulated as best they could. The coworkers are beyond amazing. My mother introduces them as friends. They are kind and caring. The residents band to together to care to support other. Recently she moved into Personal Care. This is difficult for a resident. The directors of both buildings put in a great deal of time with her and our family to make the transition as smooth as possible. They were accommodating and understanding even when she wasn’t! Her new room is gorgeous. There is more staff at this level to support the clients. I don’t know how Country Meadows hires all knowledge kind and caring employees. They handle awkward situations which could be humiliating to a resident with kindness and grace. They show up for work each day with smile, they want to be there. I have witnessed both building directors help with housekeeping and personal care like it’s their job. They have alleviated all my concerns and worries each step of the way expeditiously. The facility is beautiful but it’s the coworkers that inspire me to recommend this facility for their aging loved ones.
