This community has beautiful gardens and gazebos for the residence, staff, and family members to enjoy some safe outside fresh air. The nursing staff is very responsive and will call with any issues that may have come up. The staff is there not only for the residence, but for their families too. During COVID-19, their administration sends out DAILY newsletters to update the family and other people of contact to keep them informed as to what they are doing to keep everyone safe, happy, and healthy.

The staff is amazing. They have been excellent in their response and communication, especially during the pandemic. They have gone the extra mile to make me feel comfortable about my mom's care and health. I get updates regularly and even the occasional pictures. The facility is clean and well maintained. I couldn't be happier with my mom's placement at The Cottages.
