About Country Cottage Montgomery

Country Cottage Montgomery is an assisted living and memory care community in Montgomery, Alabama, offering both traditional assisted living and specialized memory care services along with respite care and multisensory therapy. The community emphasizes a cozy, home-like environment with personalized attention for each resident.

Each resident receives a customized personal care plan called CareSteps, developed after an assessment by staff and revisited every three months or when significant changes occur. The community features private apartments equipped with private bathrooms, emergency alert systems, spacious closets, and cable TV and telephone connections. Common areas include a spacious living room, quiet library, sunny porch, and country kitchen designed for residents to gather, read, and socialize.

The memory care program is designed with a small-scale approach, limiting residency to only 15 people per household to provide appropriate levels of companionship while avoiding overstimulation. The physical layout is intentionally simple, with all paths leading directly to the living room and a safe courtyard, helping residents learn their surroundings quickly and build confidence in their environment.

The community offers a variety of activities scheduled based on resident interests and designed to support physical, mental, and spiritual well-being. Activities range from holiday parties and bingo to chair exercises, with calendars carefully planned to encourage participation by residents and families alike. The dining program features family-style meals in a dedicated dining room.

Unstable company! poorly managed with high staff and management turnover. I don't recommend this place. They change staff and management every other month.I moved my parents to a different facility and it was the best thing we could've done.

Great facility. Very Clean and great leadership. The Administrator provided me with a tour. He was familiar with the family members and residents of the community. In fact, he gave me a tour on the weekend. I was glad he was present. Without hesitation, I would recommend this facility to friends and family.

My husband and I very pleased with The Cottages. My father in law gets great treatment from the whole staff. They are attentive, knowledgeable and especially caring. We would highly recommend this facility for your loved ones.

My Mom has had good days and bad days based on who the aids are for any particular day. Some are pleasant and helpful and some have told her they are not there to help and they don’t. The manager , Heather, has so far been good to communicate with me when I call. I just wish they all worked better together and did more training for their aids. I think this may be one of the better Assisted Living places in Montgomery. I am praying they want to be and will seek to improve. My Mom is doing fine there most days.
