My mom has lived at The Cottages for a year, and her quality of life has improved tremendously. The care staff and management is attentive, compassionate, and always goes above and beyond. Between activities and events the residents stay engaged and happy. We couldn’t be more thankful.

My mother in law has been at The Cottages for almost 6 months and we are so pleased with everything! Had an Easter luncheon today and it was lovely! They take such great care of all the residents and the caregivers are remarkable, caring, kind and thoughtful. It’s a hard decision to have a loved one go into a care facility, but this was a great decision to have her at The Cottages. The compassion they show the residents, along with the activities and good food and safety, is the reason we love it there!
