Country Meadows Corporate Office sits at 830 Cherry Dr in Hershey, Pennsylvania, acting as the main headquarters for the Country Meadows Retirement Community, and it manages different retirement centers and apartments in Pennsylvania and Maryland, like Hershey, Allentown, Bethlehem, Mechanicsburg, Wyomissing, York-South, York-West, Forks Township in Easton, and Frederick, MD. A family-owned, privately held group, they've got over 1,000 employees, reaching up to 5,000 or so, and they run several licensed facilities, each with their own license from the Pennsylvania Department of Human Services, taking care to meet the rules set by the state. The management team holds roles for President & CEO, Vice President, and a Communications Manager, making sure the place runs as it should while focusing on safety, wellness, and a respectful atmosphere for both residents and staff. The company's connected to Ecumenical Retirement Community, a non-profit partner in care.
Country Meadows provides a wide mix of care options, including Independent Living, Assisted Living and Personal Care, Memory Care and Memory Support, Restorative Care, plus Skilled Nursing and Rehabilitation, which means residents can find help whether they're active and healthy or needing more day-to-day support, and there are options for couples if one needs a different care level than the other. The apartments come in styles like one-bedroom, studio, semi-private, alcove, and there are independent living cottages for those who want privacy with the freedom from maintenance worries, along with easy connections to on-campus health care. The campus features walking trails, a dog park, and a bocce court, with a pet-friendly policy, and the community welcomes couples who want to stay together.
They provide monthly rentals with personalized pricing and custom rates, so folks don't have to worry about any big upfront fees, and there's always a local advisor to help with personal visit scheduling or to download a brochure. The staff has a visiting physician, psychiatrist, podiatrist, registered dietician, plus counseling and support groups. Restorative nursing services include on-site medical care, pharmacy services, therapies like physical, occupational, speech, and language, and the nursing center has 24-hour rehabilitative care and a daily roster of activities. They also run programs for residents with Alzheimer's and other types of dementia.
There's a Dynamic Living program that keeps things lively with planned outings, social activities, arts, culture, and entertainment choices. Scheduled transportation and weekly housekeeping are common, and they encourage positive connections, both among residents and on the community's social media channels with a respectful policy in place. The Co-worker Foundation helps Country Meadows employees with emergency funds and supports kindness projects. Resources are easy to come by, with an online center full of tips, videos, and guides for families facing aging challenges, and the business remains committed to the well-being of everyone who comes through their doors. The Better Business Bureau gives them an A+ rating, though they aren't officially accredited.
