Country Place Memory Care of Greenville sits out among the country lanes, rolling fields, and peaceful forested hills of southern Alabama, right in Greenville, AL, and only a few minutes' drive from local shops and restaurants, so folks who visit don't have to worry about being far from town. This facility holds 16 beds and has different types of assisted living, memory care, and board and care home services, depending on what each resident needs. The building offers both studio and one-bedroom units that come with basic appliances, phone lines, comfortable furniture, and layouts that are simple to move around in, especially if someone's having trouble with walking or balance. The grounds include gardens, walking trails, paved paths for strolling, rocking chairs on porches out back, and spots where people can just sit and enjoy the fresh air.
The staff set up individual care plans for each resident and are trained to support people with Alzheimer's and other forms of dementia. They've got licensed nurses on call 24 hours and certified staff around the clock, and they pay attention to things like medication management, physical therapy, bathing, dressing, help with meals, fall prevention, transfers, and everyday mobility. Residents get three meals a day with snacks, and the menu includes plenty of options for special diets, whether that means diabetes-friendly, allergy-sensitive, or just home-style cooking with familiar, good-quality ingredients. There's a supervised and secured environment, including Touch Pad Exits and emergency response systems, so family members can worry less about safety and wandering.
Round the community, there are places like a dining hall with small tables, a communal kitchen, a chapel, a cozy library, a games room for bingo and cards, a fitness area with group classes, a beauty and nail salon, and a brick fireplace in a shared living area. There's even a baby grand piano in the foyer if someone feels up to making some music. They run lots of daily activities for cognitive and social engagement, from arts and crafts to movie nights, Bible studies, music sessions, computer classes, clubs, walking groups, and monthly special events. The staff try to keep everyone active, involved, and connected with a regular calendar that changes by the season. Families can also come for support or counseling when needed, and there are plans for mild cognitive impairment, dementia, transfers, and non-ambulatory care-even waivers for hospice or advanced memory needs.
Every resident gets regular health assessments from a registered nurse, scheduled transportation to appointments or outings, weekly housekeeping and laundry, and a safe, tidy space to call their own. The facility has pet-friendly areas, parking for visitors, case management for coordinating with doctors and hospitals, and all utilities except phone are covered. There are three main levels of care, each with different supports, from basic reminders and social programs to more involved medical help and daily assistance with bathing, eating, and mobility.
In this small, homey community, the staff have built a reputation for being helpful, cheerful, and kind, and the place tends to feel less like an institution and more like a home for those living with memory loss. Residents stay busy with everything from games and creative activities to fitness classes and quiet time in the garden, and there are always people around to lend a helping hand or just listen if someone needs company.
