Country Meadows Retirement Communities sits at 1920 Trolley Rd, close to UPMC Memorial Hospital and Weis Markets Pharmacy, which makes medical visits and pharmacy trips less of a hassle, and the neighborhood also has spots like McDonald's and Starbucks nearby if someone wants to get out for a simple meal or coffee. The community offers a wide range of care, from independent living and assisted living to memory care and skilled nursing, so residents get support as their needs change, and there's also respite and hospice care for those moments when extra help is needed. Country Meadows is a Continuing Care Retirement Community (CCRC), so people living there can stay on the same campus as they age or as care levels shift, and there's no big upfront fee, just monthly rent, and different apartment sizes including studios, one-bedrooms, and two-bedrooms, all with private bathrooms and even Friendship Suites for couples with different care needs.
Services like housekeeping, laundry, medication administration, and meal preparation are included, and the restaurant-style dining serves food cooked by chefs and meal planners who focus on nutrition and quality, with meals known to be some of the best around. If someone has a pet, small pets are allowed, so a favorite cat or dog can move in too. The fitness center, run by a professional, recreation therapy, and scheduled transportation help people stay active and independent when possible, and the Dynamic Living program offers plenty of outings, activities, resident-run events, music programs, and games to help folks find friends and fill the days with something to do. There are indoor amenities like a game room, library, garden, fitness room, and several living and dining rooms, as well as kitchens in many apartments, so residents can do a little cooking if they like. Nursing support runs 12-16 hours per day, and there is always a 24-hour call system for emergencies, plus supervision for safety.
The community has a secured memory care unit and programs for people living with Alzheimer's or other forms of dementia that are built for safety and to avoid confusion or wandering, with engaging therapy and activities. For those who want independent living, services focus on maintenance-free and social living without daily chores, while assisted living residents get personal help with bathing, dressing, and daily medication. The facility is licensed as a personal care home in Pennsylvania, and it's also both Medicare- and Medicaid-certified, so there are options for payment and insurance coverage, as well as caregivers and aides offering non-medical home care for those choosing to remain at home but still needing some help. Rehabilitation programs include occupational, speech, and physical therapy, which are important for recovery from surgeries or illness.
Many people call Country Meadows clean, caring, and very active, and staff members have a reputation for being friendly and joyful with residents, visitors, and each other, which helps keep the mood good around the place. Awards have recognized both the quality of care and the strong social activity programs, as residents often get involved with planning or even running events themselves. There's a resident story bank for personal stories, educational resources for families, and several locations, including York-West and York-South, along with a sister community called Ecumenical Retirement Community for extra options.
With different apartment layouts, monthly rentals, pet-friendly policies, and shared suites for couples, the community tries to meet a lot of personal needs on one campus. Visitors and families can get information through brochures or tours if they want to ask questions and see how things work day to day. The overall resident score is high at 4.5 out of 36 reviews, with people appreciating the attention to safety, wellness, staff kindness, and the sense of inclusion. Meals, activities, and attentive care help older adults find a place where life can remain full, even as care needs change.
