    Review

    Across countless voices and experiences, Countryside Estates and its Countryside facilities emerge as places that many families hold dear for their dedication to care, cleanliness, and a sense of family involvement, while a smaller portion of reviews voice frustration and disappointment. Taken together, the notes paint a portrait of a system that can feel like a lifeline in hard times, with moments of exceptional kindness and attention, as well as isolated incidences that left some families dissatisfied or hurt. Several families emphasize how the staff, administration, and caregivers work as a team to put residents first, while others describe encounters that left them shaken or frustrated.

    Several accounts revolve around long-term vent care and the impact such care has on families. One reviewer recalls a period from 2013 to 2020 in which the facility was "very clean," staffed by knowledgeable and friendly people, and able to assemble a team of good caregivers. The reviewers repeatedly commend the facility for its diligent monitoring of residents, its willingness to go "the extra mile" for residents, and its openness to working with families to secure the best possible care. A striking thread across these stories is the facility's communication: changes or new situations are promptly conveyed to families, and administration and staff are described as listening and acting toward the best outcomes. The resident?caregiver relationship is highlighted as particularly strong, and families report feeling welcomed during visits. In a poignant note tied to the COVID era, one reviewer emphasizes that the facility protected residents from the virus, reporting zero cases, and even facilitated window visits to keep families connected during the most restrictive times. The sentiment is that Countryside could be a lifeline, allowing a spouse to be with a partner as much as possible under difficult circumstances.

    Another testimonial centers on an individual patient who spent eight months at Countryside. The patient describes a consistently professional staff and an environment that was "always clean." The food is singled out as a standout, described as "awesome" and akin to home cooking, with nurses described as kind and aides as caring and loving. The verdict of the patient is clear and heartfelt: if ever the need for a nursing home arises again, Countryside would be the place they would choose to return to. This review reflects a deep sense of trust and satisfaction with the day-to-day care, the demeanor of the nurses and aides, and the overall atmosphere of the facility.

    Not all experiences, however, align with the more glowing portraits. One review describes a perception that staff could be busy to the point of disinterest and even angry or disrespectful when concerns were raised about a relative. The reviewer mentions being told to move their relative elsewhere if they were unhappy, a sentiment that casts a shadow over otherwise positive impressions and underscores that even well-regarded facilities must navigate the human dimensions of care and workload. This critique serves as a counterbalance to the overwhelmingly positive stories, reminding readers that experiences can vary significantly between individuals and over time.

    In a more extended, family-centered tribute, a reviewer describes a son who spent six years at Countryside and endured his share of pain, yet his smile remained because he felt loved by everyone - from the cleaning staff to the doctors and directors. The family member expresses gratitude and admiration for the care team, wishing there were more that could be done to repay the kindness. The tone is one of deep respect for the breadth of staff who contributed to his well-being, highlighting a culture of warmth and connection that extended beyond clinical care and into genuine human regard.

    There are concise affirmations as well, with some reviewers simply calling Countryside Estates a "great facility." These short affirmations sit alongside longer, more detailed narratives, illustrating that for some families the facility delivered consistently strong experiences across multiple dimensions - staff demeanor, quality of care, food, cleanliness, and the sense of community and welcome that families felt during visits.

    Romantic or sorrowful moments appear in other entries, too. One reviewer laments that their brother was not offered condolences after his passing, labeling the facility as terrible in that moment. This grim note contrasts sharply with the many others who describe caring, compassionate responses during times of loss, and it highlights the powerful emotional stakes involved when a loved one passes away and the facility's staff are positioned as part of that grief.

    A separate positive account from 2018 describes arriving at Countryside Estates for post-surgical recovery, with high praise for the nurses and aides who went beyond the call of duty to keep the patient comfortable and well-supplied. The facility is described as immaculate, with home-like meals and a strong willingness to refer others who are seeking the right place for a loved one. The sentiment is one of grateful respect for a team that treats patients like family, emphasizing cleanliness and a sense of hominess that made a difficult period more bearable.

    Another moving story centers on a family member in Warner, OK, whose brother is a resident and who looks forward to returning after a hospital stay. The brother reportedly values the continuity of care - the same nurses - and even specifies food favorites, such as biscuits and gravy, as well as the occasional pizza or hamburger. The reviewer notes the facility's clean environment, absence of unpleasant odors, and the comfort of having dialysis equipment at the bedside. The family member emphasizes how reassuring it is to know a loved one is in a place that feels cared for and appreciated, especially when the patient would rather be home but cannot be.

    There are also observations from more extended family experiences, including a sentiment that, in a small-town setting, many of the employees are known personally, which appears to foster a friendly, welcoming atmosphere. The reviewer notes that Friday visits from family and church groups are a common and valued rhythm, and that the staff's dedication is evident in the way they keep rooms well maintained and in the overall cleanliness of the facility. The sense of community and routine, within the context of a smaller town, seems to reinforce the feelings of safety and belonging for residents and their families.

    Caregiving stories from a mother's perspective add another layer of gratitude. A mother was a resident in Hot Springs, AR, for many years while on a ventilator, a situation that required consistent, around-the-clock support. The family expresses profound appreciation for the staff, describing their care as more than a job - an expression of genuine concern and love for the mother. The family endured a loss in 2016, but the grateful tone persists: the staff's kindness and high level of care left a lasting impact. This testimony highlights the long arc of a resident's life in the facility and the important, personal connections that can form between families and caregivers over time.

    Yet not every visit met those high hopes. Another account describes a four-month stay during which visiting was terrible and lacked privacy, underscoring how physical layouts and privacy considerations can affect the quality of the family's experience. A final, stark verdict from another reviewer labels the facility as the worst they have ever encountered, criticizing the front desk staff as rude, describing the place as stinky and dirty, and accusing the staff of lacking real medical attention and privacy during visits. This reviewer also takes issue with the case manager's handling of plans to move a relative home with home health, suggesting the facility is driven by money rather than patient care, and concluding with a strong recommendation against choosing the place.

    Taken together, these reviews present a complex, nuanced picture of Countryside Estates and its related Countryside facilities. For many families, the setting represents a beacon of compassionate care, strong staff relationships, excellent cleanliness, and proactive family involvement that makes difficult health journeys more manageable. For others, it reveals the fragility of caregiving in real-world conditions: the burdens of staffing, the need for sensitive communication, and the element of personal experience that can color every aspect of a resident's stay. In the end, the stories collectively emphasize that, while a facility can offer remarkable strength and solace to many, it is also a place where shortcomings can affect families deeply - reminding us that the heart of long-term care lies in listening, empathy, and a steadfast commitment to treating every resident with dignity.
