It's never easy to make the decision to place your mom in assisted-living but finding the Eldercare Cottages made it easier. It became really clear to us that our mother's needs were greater than we could meet. We started the difficult process of finding a great place for her to live.

I have been working as a professional in this community and have been thoroughly impressed. All of my co-workers comment to me that the care provided is so compassionate and loving and they would trust their loved ones life under the care of Elder Care Cottages. Not only is it family owned, it is also a very intimate care setting.

It wasnt easy to find a facility that accepted Family Care Medicaid funding without first being private pay for years. Another feature that was not available at other facilities was the secure locked buildings. This works both ways, to keep residents safe from wandering and for staff to be aware of who is visiting. We always feel welcome. It is truly a home for the
