My mom is at Lexington Country Place for rehab. The staff members have been fantastic. They all seem to care very much about the residents and get them involved in the activities… Everybody that I have interacted with has been helpful and attentive. The food is considerate and pretty good. My mom says she likes it.

My mother has been in this facility for about 6 months and I am very pleased with her care. She has improved, and she likes the staff. They have been responsive to my questions or any problems I have brought to them. I would rate them as one of the best in Lexington and I am very happy about her living situation!
