The Caring Cottages is licensed as a residential care home and is set up to manage a broad range of daily medical needs. Staff can monitor residents who wander in the morning or evening, remain awake for those who are up all night, administer oxygen, accommodate physician-ordered special diets, and oversee diabetics who use oral medications. The team is also experienced with residents under 60 and those living with moderate dementia, providing the supervision and structure required for these conditions.
A 24-hour awake staff, background-checked personnel, fenced rear grounds, door alarms, and a PERS alert system maintain safety at all times. On-site podiatry visits reduce the need for outside appointments. Residents may receive help with eating or dressing when some physical assistance is needed, while bathing and toileting remain available for those able to manage self-care. Transfers are supported for walkers, wheelchairs, standby supervision, or one-person assist, ensuring mobility needs are met without delay.
Private and semi-private rooms are offered, and some include a private bathroom, basic furnishings, cable hookup, and the option to paint or decorate; not every room has every feature, so it is best to verify availability during a tour. Housekeeping keeps living spaces tidy, and personal laundry service is included to limit resident chores.
Meals follow a set menu that can be adjusted for doctor-ordered diet modifications. Snacks are available between meals to help maintain stable nutrition and energy levels throughout the day. For residents choosing an independent-living arrangement on campus, medication-management monitoring, weekly housekeeping, and laundry service are also provided so they can live with added autonomy while staying connected to support.
Resident parking, wheelchair-accessible common areas, internet access, communal gardens, scheduled transportation, and proximity to public transit make it simple to get around on or off the property. Smoking is allowed in designated outdoor spaces, and small pets are welcome; it’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed.
