IF I had to put my parents or loved ones into assisted living or memory care, this would be the place. Our church visits many assisted living, memory care and nursing facilities.
Each resident that I have seen is greeted by name by the staff. I have personally witness a staff member remind the residents of their rights and do everything to exercise these rights.
The residents are treated as the beautiful people that they are and the staff is there to enhance their lives.
I had the most wonderful conversation with a woman in memory care. We were deep into the philosophy of the value of every human life. This beautiful woman told me how visitors wouldn’t look at her, or acknowledge her … she may have been a painting on the wall. I asked about the people who help her. She replied that they ALWAYS talk with her and let her know what’s going on and suggest activities. The staff “see” their patients and care for them the way you would want to be treated in their situation.

We had our parents in several facilities that were anything but good. Truly thankful we found Columbia Cottages. Karen and the staff there were absolutely wonderful. We no longer had to worry about their well being. Karen runs a tight ship and if there is a day they are short staffed, management steps up and helps. The food was delicious. I ate there a couple of times. The facility is clean and well maintained.I would highly recommend this facility.

My mother has been a resident of Columbia Cottage for the past 6 months. She started out in the memory care unit. All of the caregivers were so kind. My mother was kept with the group which limited her fall risk. Appropriate activities were provided to her. After a massive stroke in February, my mother was moved out of memory care as she required a higher level of care, which she received. In Columbia Cottage, my mother was able to receive the care she needed in a beautiful & dignified environment. This is a well run assisted living with kind & caring caregivers. I would recommend it!!

I have a friend in the dementia unit that Tracey is in charge of. It’s beautiful, the caregiver are amazing, loving, caring and it really matters to the caregiver how the residents look everyday. Thanks Tracey to putting your heart into it. The unit is perfect, much better than Harmony. This is my opinion from experiencing both places.The variety of lunch menu is outstanding. The facilities food look as if a gourmet chef cook it. The residents in the dementia unit are always 😊. Columbia Cottage is always clean. Thank you guys for having a Great Place for our Elderly.
