Facility is a warm and welcoming place. Upkeep is very good. Staff appeared to care about their residents. Resident's I met on the tour seemed happy to be living there. Indoor and outdoor accomendations of the facility are well thought out. Due to the small (32) amount of full capacity of facility would make the resident feel like part of a family instead of a number. Shown the weekly events appears to be engaging mentally and physically for the residents.

Great place for assisted living

My Dad is a resident at the Hartselle campus and my sister and I have been very pleased with his care. The staff is always very friendly and helpful. They do an amazing job given the few staff that they have and they really go out of their way to make the residents feel at home not just in an institution. Also, they work well with the family members of the residents and really go out of their way to help. This can be very stressful on a family however the staff really helped us a lot.

Changing seasons for my mom

My mom who is 90 was living by herself until she fell in October. We immediately started looking at Assisted Living Facilities. I was very impressed with Columbia Cottage. The staff helped in every aspect of her getting into Columbia Cottage. She has been living at the cottage since November. It was a hard transition for her but it was made easier by the caring staff of the Cottage. They have helped her to make it her home. It means so much to me because I see that she is loved. This is not just for my mom but I se

Great so far!

We are relatively new to the community at the Cottage, but our experience has been very positive. I feel good about my Mom being in the care of the staff there while that I have to be at work. I think the atmosphere is excellent, unlike other places that I have visited elderly people. I feel very comfortable when I go to visit my Mom there. It is a place I would be comfortable in myself if I were in her situation. I highly recommend it.
