Highly recommended

The cottage is very well designed and quite functional. The folks in the office are very pleasant and helpful. They really helped me transition into the community. The residents I've met are very friendly and there's also a lot of activities at the clubhouse.

A nice community

5 on all. We do not have a cafeteria with prepared meals. We do have a meal once a month that is catered by EC. But at least once a week they will organize a meal that everyone pays for their own. But this is senior living and the cottages are really nice. We have nice kitchens to prepare our own meals which I prefer. I was a little hesitant about the monthly charge at first until I figured out how much it was costing me to live in my house. We have maintenance whenever we need it. The only thing that I have had

They are exceptionally good at communicating and care so far for my parents

They are so helpful! [Name removed] and [name removed] are so amazing! They dedicate so much time to the facility and it’s occupants. They always have something going on as for activities. My parents have not been to any of activities as of yet, but have a good schedule of things monthly.

Pleased resident

I am really pleased with Emerald Cottsges. The cottages are well designed and have a lot of room. There are activities that you can participate in if you like. The cottage provides lunch once a month but there are opportunities to purchase lunch and eat at the clubhouse with the other residents at least once a week.

Review for Emerald Cottages New Braunfels

Every unit has a full kitchen, so no food/dining available. They do have 1 luncheon provided for all residents if interested. And they do have a potluck dinner occasionally for all to contribute. Many activities to pick from as well. We picked this community, because mom didn't want to live in an apartment type community. These cottages are perfect, all level, has a covered porch, attached garage, nice community to walk in, and has a clubhouse with pool. They are close to the grocery store, medical offices, and fam

Excellent Senior Community

It is really nice apartments. The rooms are large. It's really clean and comfortable. It's very pleasant. Nice surroundings. The people are friendly and they offer several activities, if you're interested. I picked this community because it was the first place that I looked at.
