Great place for assisted living

My Dad is a resident at the Hartselle campus and my sister and I have been very pleased with his care. The staff is always very friendly and helpful. They do an amazing job given the few staff that they have and they really go out of their way to make the residents feel at home not just in an institution. Also, they work well with the family members of the residents and really go out of their way to help. This can be very stressful on a family however the staff really helped us a lot.... Read more

Changing seasons for my mom

My mom who is 90 was living by herself until she fell in October. We immediately started looking at Assisted Living Facilities. I was very impressed with Columbia Cottage. The staff helped in every aspect of her getting into Columbia Cottage. She has been living at the cottage since November. It was a hard transition for her but it was made easier by the caring staff of the Cottage. They have helped her to make it her home. It means so much to me because I see that she is loved. This is not just for my mom but I see them react to all residents the same way. I feel confident that my mom is taken care of every day.

Great so far!

We are relatively new to the community at the Cottage, but our experience has been very positive. I feel good about my Mom being in the care of the staff there while that I have to be at work. I think the atmosphere is excellent, unlike other places that I have visited elderly people. I feel very comfortable when I go to visit my Mom there. It is a place I would be comfortable in myself if I were in her situation. I highly recommend it.

Columbia Cottage

Once our mother got adjusted from her move to Columbia Cottage in Hartselle, she has been very happy and content. She now refers to it as "home" any time we take her for an outing and is always ready to get back. The staff is friendly and caring and she has nothing but good things to say about them when asked if she likes it there. I would definitely recommend Columbia Cottage to anyone looking for a home for their family member.

A Great Place to Live

My sister moved in last year. I asked her last week how she liked it. Her answer was “I really like it here. The caregivers are so good to me and I’m getting good care.” That was all I needed to hear. Columbia Cottage is clean, the rooms are large and the staff is loving. I’m thankful my sister is there and more importantly happy!”

We liked Columbia Cottage, but they did not offer suites that had the living space and bedroom separated which is something we were looking for.

Friendly, communicative staff

I think they do a great job at Columbia Cottage! It's a nice looking place, and the staff is very friendly and professional. I really appreciate how on top of things they are in regards to communication, they'll let you know as soon as any issues come up. It took a bit for my loved one to get settled in, but she seems to have settled in well!

Good Community

It is really hard for me to give a perfect review but this community is really nice and very clean. It is the only community in this town that provides these services. Although we did not have many choices the cost, cleanliness and friendliness of the staff made it a good community. There are other communities in neighboring towns but they were from $500 to $1,000 more then Columbia Cottage.
