  • Columbia Cottage At Mountain Brook Description

    It’s the little things that make living at The Cottage feel cozy, comfortable, and familiar. No detail is too small. Cozy common areas encourage fellowship among residents, and most importantly: it is a group of people who find meaning in caring for our seniors every day.
    It matters to us if Mom enjoys an ice cream every night or if Dad wants his bed made a certain way each morning. We understand each person’s care, needs, and preferences are different which is why we created our CareSteps program. This program allows us to provide the care needed along with the little things.
