The Cottages of Weiser offers Assisted Living and Independent Living, with short-term Respite stays available for those needing a brief recovery period. Care teams are trained to support residents who live with advanced dementia, and the community is able to accept individuals with psychiatric issues when appropriate. Residents can receive full assistance with bathing, eating, dressing, and toileting, and transfer help ranges from standby supervision for walkers to two-person or full Hoyer-lift transfers for those who are non-weight-bearing.
Round-the-clock oversight is provided by an RN or LPN on staff, with a nurse on call 24 hours a day. Team members work both awake and asleep night shifts, and all employees undergo background checks. Safety measures include door alarms, fenced grounds, wander-guard technology, pull cords, and personal emergency response systems that alert staff. An Activity Director coordinates daily programming, while 24-hour security personnel remain on site to respond quickly to any need.
Accommodations include furnished or unfurnished suites with private bathrooms, individual climate controls, and cable service; some apartments can be painted or decorated to suit personal taste, while others are move-in ready. Because not every unit has every feature, families should verify specific amenities during their visit.
Meals are served from a rotating set menu with the option to order alternate selections at each sitting. Snacks are available throughout the day, and the culinary team manages physician-ordered diets such as low-sodium, diabetic, or textured-modified plans. Independent Living residents may add medication-management monitoring and weekly laundry to their service package if they choose.
Residents have access to on-site parking, outdoor smoking areas, and wheelchair-accessible common spaces. A barber and beauty shop, high-speed internet, and communal gardens are part of daily life, and scheduled transportation is offered for local appointments while public transit is nearby for those who prefer it. Pets are allowed; it's a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed.
