CountryHouse Residence for Memory Care at Granite Bay

Last summer, [date removed], I found CountryHouse while looking for respite care. I moved my husband in for a 2 week stay. His huge smiles in pictures, videos of him singing/dancing, and online reports with activity details all made it painfully clear that the love of my life had a more active life at CH. At home he sat, watching NASA all day while I worked. It had become dangerous as well. So he became a resident. The kindness and compassion from the staff as he declines has been so heartwarming. During some of the COVID months, they set up ZOOM to maintain contact with our loved ones. What I thought was perfect has since been elevated with the new executive director; the new senior consultant, and the new RN. The activities and service coordinators are amazing. The Chef spoils them with freshly made cuisine and delicious desserts. He even has cooking sessions with the residents. CH Coffee Chats, Support Group, and extra activities help us process and try to understand this tragic disease.

I have a family member who has been a resident of Country House, Granite Bay for over 2 years now. Several months ago, my daughter & I made the decision to relocate our family member to a smaller Board and Care facility. We felt that our loved one would receive more one on one care and stimulation. This was about the same time that the facility welcomed [name removed] as the new Director and [name removed] as the RN, a real RN! The positive change and effect that these two individuals brought to the residents and the care staff have been astounding! I have seen smiles on residents' faces that I had never seen before and the energy and fun that [name removed] and [name removed] radiate comes so naturally to both of them. Needless to say, we changed our mind about moving our family member and have not regretted it. I highly recommend Country House, Granite Bay to anyone who is facing the decision of where they should place a loved one for Memory Care. Thank you [name removed] and [name removed] for keeping it real!

I definitely would recommend this facility to other families. The staff is terrific and seemed to be knowledgeable. They are very nice. The facility itself is secured. Patients are free to roam in an open space. The only locked space is the exit and entrance. They are very cleaned and organized with everything. They have a dedicated caregiver for each tenant and a person responsible for getting them up, clean and dress up, and someone to take care of the cleanliness of the room. I’m not sure about the frequency, but they seem to be on top of all that. They offer all kinds of activities as well. They have afternoon snacks, during Halloween my loved one decorated cookies, they have bingo, and a motor bus for outings and they return back right before dinner. Every time I come to visit in the afternoon my loved one is occupied with some sort of activities. Tenants are given the option to participate, but my loved one is busy all day long doing activities.

This is a nice community for care. The staff are nice, but they lack communication when it comes to keeping me informed on changes. We like the activiites that are listed for those who want to participate. We would suggest that families take a tour for the care of a loved.

Beautiful and convenient location, with several choices for level of service. We liked the layout of the shared rooms very much. We ended up finding a location closer to the family with very similar amenities and selected that instead.
