This facility has been so wonderful for my mom! The director is fantastic, and their communication through Covid has been perfect. I feel so relieved having my mom so well taken care of. Highly recommend!!
– Stephanie Sherman – Resident
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.
- Grace Guardian – Resident
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.

During Covid, they have kept us informed not only of our loved one but also how the home is responding to all additional care related issues.

The staff at every level are pleasant, helpful and caring with intent and dedication to provide a safe, healthy and positive environment for your loved one, including devoting time and attention to family's requests/concerns to enhance an all-around Best experience. Mom loves the meals, her room is cozy with plenty of room for her favorite belongings, the facility's layout is well designed with room privacy, spacious courtyards, comfortable common-area furniture, and social dining rooms. They do a great job in their community at a competitive price. I recommend them!
