We want to welcome you to Country Neighbors. We create "Home" and a vibrant "community within a community" for seniors in Lake Crystal, Le Center, Mapleton and New Richland.

We have taken a unique approach to senior housing. Rather than serving several hundred people in one residential community, we focus on serving a small group of people extremely well in a place that they love to call "home." Country Neighbors provides suite residences for up to 22 people in an easy-access one-level home located in residential neighborhoods in Lake Crystal, Le Center, Mapleton and New Richland.

The Country Neighbors communities are part of Ecumen, which is Minnesota's largest non-profit senior housing and services organization.

Ecumen Lifestyle Covenant

Each person who lives in an Ecumen community has different interests and passions. Empowering each person’s individual being is essential to honoring those we serve. The Ecumen Lifestyle Covenant is a partnership between our staff and the people we serve.

By signing this covenant, we and each of our customers make a joint pledge to take responsibility for our customer’s lifestyle choices and desires. We (the staff) pledge to support each individual’s decisions and commit to providing him or her with the resources we have available to help our person be successful and fulfilled in their home.
