Overview of Country Meadows Retirement Communities

Country Meadows Retirement Communities in Wyomissing, PA, operates under the continuing care retirement community framework. It offers independent living, assisted living, memory care, nursing home services, skilled nursing, hospice care, and respite care. Independent living provides you with your own residence, access to community services, and no one managing everyday care. Assisted living provides staff support for medication management, bathing, dressing, and other similar activities. A resident prone to wandering is placed in secured memory care under supervision. In the nursing home and skilled nursing units, licensed nurses are available every hour.

The role of hospice care is to provide comfort and support for individuals with a life-limiting illness. A respite stay is brief and provides a regular caregiver an opportunity to travel or recuperate. As everything takes place within a single community, a resident whose requirements increase can switch services without relocating.

Its 80 beds are distributed among studios, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom units, providing choices for those living solo or as a couple. Short-term rehab is available for residents undergoing recovery.

Medicare is accepted for qualifying medical services, such as the temporary skilled care one receives after hospitalization, but not for extended living arrangements. Residents can have pets move in.

Wyomissing is car-dependent, scoring 31 on Walk Score. Running errands primarily requires driving, and when you cease driving, you’ll need transportation. The community is operated by Country Meadows Of Wyomissing LLC.
