I have visited the cottage in Milledgeville ga and really enjoyed the environment and the location which is close to all shopping and restaurants. The luxury of having maintenance at your hand and you basically just live a comfortable life with nice respectable staff is what I have been looking for. So, if your looking for comfort, a great staff in every department and stress free place to live,The Cottage is where you need to think of for retirement and comfortable living.

Before my uncle passed away, our family was in the process of trying to get him into The Cottages of Milledgeville. Everything we heard and experienced during that process was absolutely phenomenal. We were very impressed with the community and truly believed it would have been a wonderful place for him.<br><br>Unfortunately, before we could complete the process and get him moved in, he was hospitalized and ultimately had to have both of his legs amputated. Because of the change in his medical condition, he was never able to move into the facility.<br><br>Although he never had the opportunity to become a resident, I will always remember how positive our experience was while considering The Cottages. Based on what we learned, the environment, services, and care appeared exceptional. I only wish my uncle had been able to experience it for himself. ❤️🙏🏾

The Assisted Living Cottages at Woodland Terrace in Milledgeville is a great place to live, EXCEPT for the absolutely terrible food quality they purchase for the residents. We have discussed this issue at length with the management for as long as my loved one has lived there and no consistent changes have been made. They have suggested that we keep a log of the food we are unhappy with and when we present this information to them, they ask us to be patient but nothing changes. The food is so inferior that my loved one regularly dreads eating there. This has us considering that they are not receiving proper nutrition and sustenance. The cost of living there continues to go up, but the food quality continues to get worse. It breaks my heart that my loved one is being fed this low quality of food in their sunset years.<br><br>The Cottages serves bottom tier food from a food company that has different “levels” of food quality. Some examples include spaghetti with only noodles and dry crumbled ground beef or maybe just enough sauce to minimally wet the noodle; a breakfast “meat” sandwich filled not with meat but with an alternative soy meat; a Chef Salad main entrée dish in which residents received in their individual bowl of salad more, less or none of the components that make up this type of salad.<br><br>The owner of The Cottages at Woodland Terrace in Milledgeville, Double Edge Associates, is not accredited by the Better Business Bureau. If you have the option to look into other assisted living communities, I would strongly suggest doing so.<br><br>Please do your research and maybe even talk to some of the residents here about this issue. It is appalling what they are feeding the residents.

How our free service works, and how we are paid

Georgia asks us to share this with you in writing before we introduce you to a community.

MyLivingChoice is a free service that helps you find senior living. We are paid by our participating communities: if you move into a community we introduced you to, that community pays us a referral fee. You never pay us anything.

We do not own or manage any community, and none owns us. Our only ties to the communities we list are the referral agreements that pay us and the listing upgrades some buy. A community that pays us is marked Partner or Sponsored on our site, and a community that has bought verification is marked Verified.

The communities we suggest may not be every one in your area, and we can only make introductions to communities that work with us. We suggest communities by the care you need, the area, your timeline and budget, and what families say about them, never by what a community pays us. If a community stops meeting our qualifications, for example its licence lapses or it stops accepting referrals, we stop suggesting it.

To make an introduction we share your name, contact details and the care needs you told us about, and nothing else. You can stop using our service at any time, for any reason and at no cost, and if you do we will let any community we introduced you to know.
