Our Services and Commitments
We have RN, LPN, CNA, and support staff. We conduct a skills day twice a year for continuing education, in addition to monthly online courses, to ensure our team is always at the forefront of care practices.
Ensuring the safety and wellbeing of our elders is our number one priority. We maintain an excellent staff to elder ratio, with 2 care partners per 10 elders, ensuring safety and personalized attention.
A dedicated social worker is available to assist elders and their families, ensuring a smooth transition into our care.
Transportation services can be arranged through 360 transport for ease and convenience.
All meals are freshly prepared in each cottage's open concept kitchen and served family style at the dining room table, promoting a warm and communal dining experience.
Feedback and Communication
For any complaints or concerns, please reach out to Valerie, our social worker, or bring it up during the elder’s care plan meeting. These concerns will then be directed to the appropriate leadership member for resolution.
Communication with families, especially regarding rehab updates, is conducted weekly after insurance updates, ensuring all parties are informed. For long-term residents, updates are provided during the care plan meetings, which occur every other month. However, families can contact Valerie or the cottage nurse at any time for updates.
Pricing and Accommodations
The daily rate for our services is $408. This applies to both short-term respite stays and long-term care, with hospice companies benefiting from negotiated rates.
While pets cannot reside permanently, they are welcome to visit, provided we have a copy of their vaccination records.
Although we are currently at full capacity, openings arise frequently, especially given our focus on short-term rehab.

The reviews for the senior living facility present a mixed picture, with some expressing dissatisfaction and others praising the care and environment provided. Concerns include allegations of poor management, inadequate staffing, and unprofessional behavior, with one reviewer describing it as the "worst nursing home" they've worked at, citing issues such as lawsuits, mice infestation, and high staff turnover. Another reviewer had a negative experience with a staff member being rude over the phone.
On the positive side, many reviews highlight the attentive and kind staff, the home-like atmosphere, and the high-quality care provided.

One review even describes the facility as a "house of smoke and mirrors," suggesting a discrepancy between the facility's presentation and the actual care provided.
In summary, while there are significant concerns raised by some, others have had positive experiences, emphasizing the caring staff, effective rehabilitation services, and the welcoming, home-like atmosphere of the Cottages.
