PositiveReview for Cottonwood Estates
There are Plenty of activities, friendly staff, and the food is very good. The facility is clean and the rooms are a bit small. I would recommend the facility to others.
★★★★★
PositiveThey were very nice but way outside my budget. I thought the staff were very nice and the residents I spoke with were also great.
★★★★★
PositiveMy family's experience
Cottonwood Estates has been great. It is a warm, bright and inviting place. We love that my mother in law can have her dog and has plenty of walking options. There are a lot of friendly residents and she is always eating with new residents everyday. The staff is wonderful and very helpful! They were so helpful in the entire process! They are very responsive and caring. My husband and I are extremely happy with the whe experience.

PositiveAbove & Beyond
The staff was amazing! From management, to the dining room waiters, the activities director, the salon, they were all super stars! My mom had a very rough start moving into their facility and then acclimating. They worked with her, they accommodated her requests and saw to it that her many needs were met.
★★★★★
PositiveOur family's experience
I found everything to be clean and well maintained. The staff is friendly and extremely helpful. The activities are well structured and they keep my mom busy most of the day if she chooses. She likes the food and finds that they offer a great selection.
