What stands out most about Cottage Grove Place is the people. The staff are kind, responsive, and clearly invested in the well-being of the residents. There’s a strong sense of community here, and it shows in the daily interactions and overall atmosphere. They set a high standard for senior living.

[Name Removed] is a very compassionate and knowledgeable sales associate. The residents living in the assisted living area were out exercising when I arrived and listening to a live musician when I left. I was able to meet the Administrator who was kind and very helpful as well. A very lovely experience and a beautiful space I'd be happy to have my loved one there.

Lovely place

I miss the people. Cleanliness was great They were always friendly The food was excellent, especially the house salad. For me it was very expensive it took all my retirement money and I was one of the cheaper ones. Someone told me some were paying [fee amount] a month. I loved the place, people food and care. It was the administrative staff that was terrible - but that person is gone now.

I would recommend Cottage Grove Place. The housekeeping could be quite a bit better. The staff was overall great. The move-in process was superb. Their communication was great. The meals seemed to be very good. The supervisor of the Memory Care unit, [name removed], was wonderful, helpful, friendly and sympathetic. She actually became a friend in the seven months that my mom was at Cottage Grove Place.

Review for Cottage Grove Place, a CCRC

Best overall experience I could imagine. Not perfect of course but really excellent. Would highly recommend to anyone and have done so.
