Review

Country Living Home in Spanaway, WA has received mixed reviews from residents and their families. While some have found the value for money to be lacking, noting that the cleanliness of the facility is satisfactory with clean floors, waste baskets, and a clean bathroom, others have expressed concerns about the lack of attention to detail. Dusting seems to be neglected, which may affect the overall cleanliness and comfort of the place. Furthermore, there are complaints about the limited activities offered at the facility. Games, outings, and exercise programs are not provided unless family members take it upon themselves to provide these services.

Another aspect that has raised concerns among reviewers is the quality of food provided at Country Living. Some feel that the meals do not meet expectations for home-cooked food, as they consist of hot dogs, pot pies, pizza, tuna sandwiches, and toasted cheese. Additionally, there seems to be inconsistency in meal preparation and variety. It is important for prospective residents and their families to be aware of this when considering this facility.

One major concern highlighted by a reviewer is the behavior of the owner himself. They describe him as having an unpredictable mood that can range from being mean and verbally abusive to physical roughness towards residents in wheelchairs. One instance mentioned involves a resident falling out of their wheelchair onto a laminate floor while receiving no assistance from the owner apart from a disrespectful gesture involving water splashing. These incidents raise serious questions about safety and appropriate care practices within Country Living.

Reportedly, other incidents involving mistreatment have occurred during nighttime hours when residents may be experiencing pain or emotional distress. The owner allegedly confiscates personal belongings such as televisions without explanation or justification when residents express their discomfort or emotions. In addition to this behavior towards residents in his care, there have been reports of verbal abuse directed towards his wife.

With these concerns in mind, it is worth noting that a recent review indicates a positive experience with Country Living's new management. The reviewer believes that their grandmother will be well taken care of at the facility, praising the hardworking owners and the one-on-one attention provided to residents. However, it is important for potential residents and their families to carefully consider all available information when making a decision about Country Living Home in Spanaway, WA.
