Country House sits on rolling hills and woodlands, near the Winterthur estate, and you'll see classic buildings with lots of open green space where residents can walk or relax. The community's part of Acts Retirement-Life Communities and uses a Type A Life Care Contract, which means people get care for a steady monthly fee as their health needs change. The campus has independent living apartments and cottages for adults 55+, plus support for those needing extra help like assisted living, memory care for Alzheimer's disease, skilled nursing, rehabilitation therapy, and respite care. There's an expanded clubhouse, new social areas, and all sorts of amenities for residents to enjoy. Country House's staff have been around a long time and help with daily activities, healthcare, and emergency needs onsite. There's a Virtual Senior Center online for those who want to connect or learn from home. The place runs courses for staff about LGBTQI+ topics and follows professional training standards like the Paid Dining Assistant Certification Module. Country House holds events like "Housing Happenings" and has groups like the Affordable Senior Housing Roundtable, so folks stay in the loop about senior living. The community is CARF-accredited and offers a variety of living and care options, whether someone wants an independent lifestyle or skilled support if health changes. People join peer networking groups and participate in engaging activities, so it's easy to meet others and be part of things if you want.

Upscale campus but staffing concerns
I toured this beautiful, well-kept campus with new cottages, underground parking and lovely grounds - the tour guide was pleasant and the complimentary restaurant-quality lunch impressed me. The community offers lots of activities, a nice layout and upscale amenities, and staff I met were warm and attentive, though rooms felt small. Major downsides: it's extremely expensive (there's a $5,000 rec fee), resident dining isn't representative of the tour meal (many residents get only one meal/day), and I heard credible concerns about understaffing (weekends/nights), maintenance issues (broken whirlpool) and even pest reports. There are mixed reports about care quality and management responsiveness - some families rave, others have filed complaints - so I'd recommend it only if you can afford the premium and insist on clear answers about staffing and care guarantees.
