My mother moved into the Cottages in May. Since September with a new Director & new Activities Director it’s been a wonderful experience. My mom is truly happy there & feels like a home with friends. They’ve had fun with painting, games, people/children singing etc. i highly recommend for an elderly family member.

My mother lived at Columbia Cottage in Mountain Brook for almost two years until her death. The facilities are nice and well maintained and the staff was MORE than nice to her. Leslie Carter and several of the staff went above and beyond day in and day out during my mothers' last few months. Russell Warren
