We've chosen Cottagewood Senior Community for my mother. I like the way they've got it laid out. They have multiple cottages, and the main area or the common group area is kind of all in the middle. And then they have the little apartments off of the outside or around that. She's currently in The Haven, which is the one for dementia patients who might have some issues. She got Covid for the third time and they've been dealing with that very well. They are set up better and everything seems to be going well. They are more one-on-one care. I don't know exactly what the ratio is, but it seems to be working out better for my mom. The staff has been very good with her and at keeping me up to date on what's going on. I've been there for dinner a couple of times. The food that I had was fine. It was good. They have entertainment that comes in occasionally. I've walked in before and one of the staff has been reading them stories, like one of the Chicken Soup for the Soul books. I've seen them doing puzzles and they seem to have quite a few activities, which seems to work well. I know they're having an open house for Christmas.

My father has moved into Cottagewood Senior Community. So far, they are attending to his needs. They're trying to learn his behaviors and stuff. So far, it's going well. There's ample staff, instead at some places that we've been to where they have hardly any staff. They have shared rooms. My father has a private room, but it is like a studio. He doesn't have a kitchen or anything in there. It's like a bedroom with a bathroom off of it. His room doesn't have a shower, but there are two showers f...

Horrible experience. Our loved one was there for about 11 days. It was $8600 per month for a room with a bed, a toilet, and a closet. The CNA’s/PCA’s were awesome but severely understaffed and way too much going on with the patients for them to be able to take proper care of any resident. Stuff got stolen from the room and could not be found. There were ZERO activities and ZERO direct care for our loved one. The food was OK and plenty of it. If you expect anything other than a room and a ...

Cottagewood in Rochester accepted my mother-in-law with her dementia. She's been there for a couple of weeks now, and so far, it's been very good, and it seems very clean. We haven't been able to go in very much yet because of COVID-19, and there's a 2-week time before we can visit her. Every information, if anything happens to her, they listen to our concerns. Her room is very comfortable and very clean. She is quite unresponsive since she's been there because of different medications, so she h...

My dad is currently at Cottagewood Senior Communities. He moved in 2 to 3 weeks ago. He is still very confused because he has been diagnosed with severe dementia, but they're doing a good job in my opinion. I've talked to the people there, and they say he's eating pretty decently. They do not have a kitchen in the room, and they have kind of a community bathroom. I'm not allowed to go to the facility yet, so I can't really be specific. They prefer that he doesn't have a TV, and they don't have a...

My husband has moved into Cottagewood Senior Communities. We have had friends and relatives that have lived there or are living there. They have an excellent system there with people living in cottages, and the people are very nice. Everything is very handy because you can drive right up to it. Everything is ground level. They have good care there. He has been moved from a larger cottage where there were more people. He was in quarantine for 14 days, and they had to keep him in this one area in ...

The staff here are top notch. They truly care about the wellbeing of the residents. Staff go the extra mile to make sure everyone is happy, safe and entertained. I was truly inspired by the the level of empathy I experienced from the caretakers in my mom's cottage. They take residents on frequent outings and have many other stimulating events.

CottageWood was a good place for my sister during the early stages of her disease. The location was good for us, but as her disease progressed the facility was way too big and there were too many nurses. She had to navigate around to lot of furniture and people. The layout was not working for her anymore and we need something a little bit smaller. At the time we left, we weren't happy with the personnel and the way things were going.

My grandfather resides at this facility. The home is very clean. The decorations are modern and pleasant. The rooms are quite spacious. I enjoyed the staff's friendliness and caring manor toward the residents. The meals are home-made and delicious. Activities and crafts are offered daily. The residents have Alzheimers and can be difficult to deal with at times, but the staff is great and very knowledgable about their work and the residents. The facility is easy to access and has adequate parking...
