CountryHouse Dickinson

Consistency, security, comfort, a sense of well being; these are the needs of people with a memory loss condition such as Alzheimer’s disease. CountryHouse meets these needs by offering exceptional care in a safe and surprisingly homelike environment. There’s no place like CountryHouse… when a nursing home is not the answer.Devoted and specially trained staff unobtrusively assist with all the activities of daily living, while expertly providing gentle direction through familiar routines and engaging programs. A loving atmosphere is maintained by the soothing, respectful way in which all are treated. Helping residents connect to past pleasures sparks good memories and creates ‘moments of joy’ throughout the day.Because it looks like any other house, CountryHouse feels like home the moment you step inside. There’s a cozy living room, old fashioned dining room, and a family room with a fireplace. Chances are you will hear music, smell something wonderful cooking in the oven, and see people involved in various household tasks. The open kitchen allows residents to sit down for a cup of coffee or help frost cupcakes. Traffic flows naturally in a circular pattern throughout the house, a design that invites residents to walk and explore. The large and beautifully landscaped backyard offers a secure place for residents to feel the sun, stroll through fragrant flowers, and watch birds or bunnies. Even in the later stages of Alzheimer’s, seasonal stimulation remains an important connection; nature cultivates a sense of comfort,
