Reminiscing

The Cottages were built by a special visionary team to provide reminiscence, comfort and security in a homelike environment.

As you enter The Cottages, you enter into a ‘great room’ designed to give the residents the feeling of comfort and enjoyment that one feels in their own home. This is a wonderful area for relaxing, sitting by our special ‘fireplace,’ and visiting with your children or grandchildren.

Freedom

At The Cottages, you will also find a unique sunroom/patio area. Even though our facility is a secured area, it is important that the residents have unobstructed access to a natural setting. This freedom provides a sense of openness and liberty. Residents have control over themselves and their environment. We also offer garden spaces within a secure outside patio.
