Overall, Cottonwood Estates is a good place for my mother. They do need to work on the meals. There are times when the meals are not the greatest. The thing about the meals is that when my mom first started living there the meals were very good, but I think the good chef left. If they could just find a good chef, that would be great just a turnover problem.... Read more

Great place for retirement living with a la carte services if you need them. Cheaper than most places because they don't have advanced levels of care. The managers and staff have been friendly and helpful.

The staff have been very friendly and helpful. The meals are good. Lunch seems to be the largest meal of the day, and then dinner is a smaller meal. There are choices for the residents to choose from for all three meals. This is a very welcoming atmosphere for the residents and family when we visit. The staff communication has been very good and they seem to be right on top of any concerns or questions the family has.

February 11, 2023L B, we are so happy to read such a great review about Cottonwood Estates Gracious Retirement Living!
Recently there have been some changes with the chef so some of the meals are better and some not so much. However based on our experience so far we would recommend Cottonwood Estates to other families.

Response from Cottonwood Estates
November 18, 2022Thanks so much for your review and feedback about Cottonwood Estates!
It was lovely but an older facility. They had a shared washing machine and dryer, and the air conditioner was in the wall.
Our family had an in person tour and the individual giving the tour was just not very energetic and not very inviting, but we were able to eat a meal there and wow the food was very good.

I would recommend Cottonwood Estates. I love all the residents and the staff is wonderful. The only negative is the food.

I chose Cottonwood Estates because it is close to my son and his family. Also I looked it up on the computer and I like the looks of it. My apartment is just fine, I am in a 1 bedroom I have a large living room, smaller bedroom, plenty of closet space. Most of the food provided by the chef is good. My favorite part about the community so far has been meeting new friends. I would recommend.

Cottonwood was a nice facility and good location, but only offered independent living. I think if we are going to move my MIL that we should go to a facility that can handle longer term care if needed.

We really liked the size of this and the intimate cozy feeling. It didn’t feel over the top at all, but the right size for mom. We are a little concerned there isn’t an option for more care as she needs it, except for outside help. Would have liked the check in button that was available at [removed].

Love our new home and the people! Wish we had done this earlier. Downsizing wasn't easy, but worth it.

This location has a very warm and inviting atmosphere. It is like family. The rooms however are small than anticipated and do not have kitchens which would be important for mom. [Name removed] was very inviting and showed us a lot of options. Not taking into consideration due to a kitchnette and not a full kitchen. Lovely place and warm people.

Prices were fair. We had lunch and food seams ok. Everybody is very friendly, place was clean and very well kept. The apartments they show us were very spacious but just one had wood floors and they do not have kitchen, just a small sink with very small cabinets.We really enjoy the family welcome and the insentives, moving for free, $1000,00 off for the second rent and only paying for 2 days rent in January.

We are newbies to Cottonwood Estates but so far my mother-in-law is enjoying her new friends, especially joining other ladies in the dining room for meals. I have had two meals with her both were good. She particularly enjoys the ice cream/froyo machine in the activities room. She is loving the independence of going to church on her own via the van from First United Methodist Alpharetta that picks up there for Sun services. We attended the first Cottonwood Estates Talent night and I was impressed. She has been favorable to most of the activites she has participated in. She tried a movie night, but she is not a movie person so I wasn't surprised that wasn't for her, not was happy hour but she has many happy hours ahead in the library and the chapel. So far so good

I really loved Cottonwood Estates, the people are amazingly helpful. The atmosphere is contemporary and clean, with a touch of elegance. The service staff is always professional and polite. They are totally willing to go above and beyond to make the experience of the residents and guests a pleasant one. Very kind and caring...I would totally recommend them to anyone looking for an independent living environment with all the bells and whistles!
