The Cottages of Carmel has been so welcoming to my sister-in-law, and helpful with her move in. Gina DiMaria in particular was helpful answering all of our emails and texts in a very timely manner. She's a delight, and Suzi is looking forward to her residency at The Cottages.

I am a certified senior fitness instructor and fall prevention coach. I’ve been teaching an exercise fitness class at cottages of Carmel for several years now along with working with residents privately as needed. The atmosphere at the cottages is very pleasant. All staff members are very friendly, respectful and attentive. Between the wonderful privates I’ve had the opportunity to work with and always friendly and caring staff it feels like I’m walking into my second home. When my father was still around the Cottages of Carmel was my first choice for a new home for him, sadly he passed before he had the opportunity.

Mom has been living happily at the Cottages since February of this year. She loves it! Her favorite thing is mealtime with creations from the chef! The caregivers who work here are the best - they meet everyone where they are at and give loving, caring support. There are many activities and mom has many new friends. It is a beautiful location with new renovations. Gina is great- she gives tours and information and she explains all about living at The Cottages. Heather has a wonderful heart to take care of all of the residents as a nurse. Louisa, David, Gina and Juan are wonderful caregivers in the memory care unit. Take the time to come tour… you will feel at ease knowing your loved ones needs will be met is a caring and gracious way. My mom loves it here!

My 87 year old Mom lives at the Cottages and we are SO glad she is there. The facility is lovely and the recent renovations look fantastic. Also, the Cottages is a nice size where everyone can get to know each other and the residents don’t get lost in the shuffle. But, most importantly, the people are really wonderful. The management team truly cares about their residents and works to listen and address to their feedback. The caregiver team (including the medical technicians and food services) are also wonderful. There is nothing more comforting than knowing that the people helping out my Mom genuinely care about her wellbeing. Many thanks to everyone at the Cottages for all they do!
