Credo Senior Living in Fort Scott, KS
3.5

We chose Country Place because my parents were both in another Country Place in another location so we knew the company. When speaking to my dads doctor, they also recommended this location for memory care. The staff has turned over so we do not have a good feel for the new staff quite yet, but the staff that was here before were very attentive and caring. I do not think that dad could be in a better place, someone from our family goes at least once a day and we have been happy with them. I would recommend to others looking, just make sure you are an advocate for your loved one.
