Memory Care
Private Suite Cottages

Cottagewood offers private suite cottages for those who prefer less stimulation and a quieter atmosphere.  These cozy cottages consist of 16-20 private rooms and shared common areas with a secure courtyard.  This provides our residents a lot of space to roam and relax both inside and outside.  

Residents will be encouraged to participate in meaningful activities throughout the day.  Here at Cottagewood, we believe passive participation is just as beneficial as active participation.  The cottages are staffed 24/7 by health care professionals who receive specialized dementia training in our unique programming and therapies.
