    Review

    The Cottages, a senior living facility, received mixed reviews from residents and their families. While some had positive experiences, others found it to be unsuitable for their loved ones' needs.

    One family expressed satisfaction with The Cottages, stating that it met their expectations. Although there were a few issues, they believed they could have been handled better. Overall, the staff was praised for their caring and attentive nature.

    However, another reviewer had a different perspective on The Cottages. They initially thought it would be an ideal place for their father due to its smaller size compared to other options. However, upon visiting the facility after two months of his stay, they were appalled by what they saw. Their father's room resembled a storage closet, lacking any homelike touches. Additionally, there seemed to be a shortage of staff and minimal efforts towards memory care and engaging activities beyond watching TV. Although the staff was friendly, they appeared stretched thin. The meals provided did not suit their father's taste either.

    Contrasting opinions continued as another reviewer highly recommended The Cottages for the exceptional care provided to their late father during the latter stages of his life. They commended the facility for being small, locally owned, and genuinely caring about the community.

    On the other hand, one dissatisfied individual disliked The Cottages due to the cramped rooms resembling dormitories and the presence of only community bathrooms. Moreover, residents were not allowed to use the bathroom independently. Despite cleanliness and pleasant staff interactions, this reviewer felt that The Cottages did not offer an appropriate fit and was also relatively expensive.

    In conclusion, reviews of The Cottages varied greatly depending on personal experiences and expectations. While some families appreciated the attentive staff and suitable accommodation for their loved ones' needs, others found issues with room sizes and limited amenities. It is important for potential residents or their families to thoroughly evaluate these aspects before making a decision.
