About The Cottage of Mason
The Cottage of Mason is an assisted living and memory care community located in the northern suburbs of Cincinnati, Ohio. The community offers independent living, assisted living, memory care, and skilled nursing and long-term care options, with the flexibility to transition between levels of care as residents' needs change.
The community operates on a cottage model designed to provide a home-like environment with personalized care. Rather than a large-scale facility, The Cottage of Mason emphasizes intimate spaces and the comfort of traditional living combined with modern support services. Residents have access to private and spacious studio and one-bedroom apartments that offer private living spaces while maintaining the security and stability of professional care.
For memory care residents, the community uses a TouchPoint Sensory approach that views each resident through the richness of their lived experiences rather than solely through their condition. This method stimulates all senses to access deep-seated memories and create meaningful connections between residents, their loved ones, and care partners.
Amenities and activities are designed to accommodate a wide range of personalities and needs. Residents can enjoy relaxing in cozy living spaces with fireplaces or participate in engaging activities such as gardening and cooking demonstrations. The professional and caring staff is committed to helping residents live their best life with the assurance that their needs will be fulfilled.

BrightStar is the absolute best facility for your loved one. The smaller environment offers a much more home-like and one-on-one experience for the residents who live there and the staff who work there. Sarah always keeps the residents engaged in every activity and event BrightStar has. Between the Thanksgiving event, the Valentine’s Day Prom, and the Pub Crawl on St. Patrick’s Day, BrightStar has the most well thought out and perfectly executed events for all of the residents and their families to enjoy. BrightStar truly makes a difference and goes above and beyond in all aspects and this makes the facility stand out from the rest.

Brightstar has been super helpful in getting us caring and competent aides for our autistic and Down syndrome 25 year old. Over the last week Brandy Tapia has made a great start with our son! Thanks so much.

I can’t say enough great things about this community. This is the kind of place I would want my own parents at. The staff is incredible, they are always so hands on, and there is so much thought that goes into the activities and events for the residents. It warms my heart so much to see how well the residents are treated. They are so lucky to have Brightstar in their life!!

I had an absolute blast hosting the Valentine's Day Prom. Michaela was a big help with setting up my area, while Sarah crafted an itinerary that was both detailed and engaging. Meeka was an absolute pleasure to work with, and I felt like part of the family throughout the event. I'm already counting down the days until I can participate again.
