The Cottages of Carmel

Did a tour of the cottages , talk to a lovely lady named [name removed], she was very knowledgeable and help answer all Our questions , we are looking for a very near future place for our mother , the cottages are on the top Of our list .

[names removed] were all extremely helpful in getting my mom settled into the Cottages. They made the admissions process go as smoothly as possible. It has been a huge relief for my sister and I to know that mom has great care and has a beautiful newly renovated place to live. The staff is friendly, kind and caring. Mom is very happy living at the Cottages. That brings my sister and I much peace of mind.

The Cottages of Carmel is truly an outstanding residential community for elders seeking assistive care. The entire staff is exceptional - kind, compassionate, skillful, and respectful. Many associates are long-standing employees with a wealth of experience in making life easier, safer, fulfilling, and more dignified for residents. My father has resided happily in an assisted living studio since [date removed]. His unit is bright, quiet, and comfortable with high ceilings, a fireplace, and a welcoming patio. He raves about quality and presentation of meals, attentive dining room staff, scenic afternoon drives, and elaborate holiday dinners. Recent renovations elevate the entire community to the highest standards with inspiring art and inviting areas for group activities and conversations with other residents. Most importantly, my father has thrived and remained COVID-free during his entire residency, thanks to Watermark’s industry-leading safety protocols.

My experience with The Cottages of Carmel, Carmel CA: Caring staff. Appreciate that there are high level staff who are nurses who work on site. Med tech’s are responsive and helpful. So are managers, caregivers and activities staff. The facility is clean. In fact just doing some renovations that increase the sparkle features. Food is very good and tasty. Communication is open with family and those who assist the resident. Good light throughout the facility. Safety is a high level concern for the residents.

We toured the facility with [name removed] (Sales Director) and [name removed] (Executive Director) who were extremely warm and loving with our mom. Being greeted by the smell of fresh baked cookies in the lobby had me hooked right away. But touring all of areas and being able to talk to some of the staff and concierge gave my mom more assurance of what is ahead. Gina even invited to us to have lunch to feel the atmosphere and taste the great food that is provided! We loved it!! Hopefully we can make it happen for my mom.

[name removed] and staff at The Cottages are amazingly caring people. The quality of care is first rate. My parents feel very happy here, and my sister and I feel very grateful to have them surrounded by such a supportive team. [name removed] made us all feel supported and welcome from the first time we met her. Also the Cottages are beautifully maintained. The Cottages is a first rate elder care home, my family is very grateful to have their support.

I’ve had wonderful experiences with the staff and working alongside them to come up with mutual decision on behalf of my family members. Working with a solid care team takes the worry out of who my loved ones will be with. Thank you!

I would recommend The Cottages to them, for sure. I would encourage them to be an active participant in their loved ones care to ensure nothing slips through the cracks. They are all doing their best, and sometimes wires get crossed. If you are present as much as possible, it helps with awareness. We picked this community, because of the close proximity to my house, amenities, kind, helpful and informative staff.

Mom joined Cottages of Carmel almost a year ago. I would highly recommend this wonderful place that treats you like family and is fully interested and really listens to you. Mom has been in four of the other highest rated facilities locally and this is the best and safest for her. Plus, she loves the food - I could eat here daily. The dedicated friendly and respectful nurses, management and staff makes a whole difference. The grounds are pretty and taken care of. Everywhere smells good and is clean. Repairs are taken care of when needed. The only other thing I can say is I wish I found this place earlier. Feeling lucky!

My mother has lived at Cottages of Carmel for approximately 9 months and has never been happier. She enjoys the surroundings as well as the staff, food and activities. She always has something fun or interesting to do if she wants or is able to spend time in her studio apartment which is comfortable, light and airy. This community was an excellent choice for her and I'm so pleased that she is enjoying her life here so much. We were very fortunate to have found this home for her.

The trip to BBQ was so delicious and loved to be able to sit outside in the patio area. What a great day!

My mother spent her final 3 years at Cottages of Carmel. The facility is new, immaculate, and well equipped. It is centrally located and close to stores, restaurants and coffee shops. But what really sets it apart is the warm, caring and compassionate administration and staff. My mother loved the caregivers and med techs, and had close relationships with other residents. There is a wide variety of activities and events, and she particularly enjoyed the daily walks and the group exercise classes. Weekly excursions such as scenic drives and shopping outings were a big hit. If you are looking for a safe, loving environment with many activities, Cottages of Carmel is the place! Highly recommended!

Outstanding impression. Clearly made the list

Great facility! We are so happy to have our Mom live in such a caring place.

Don’t let the description of all the bells and whistles fool you. This is corporate run, nothing personal. 3 GM’s in 3 years. Never any follow up. The memory care was a huge disappointment. If you’re considering this as an option, go at least 10 times unannounced at different times. I felt the staff was young and the manager of memory has an attitude. We moved our mother into a smaller senior nursing home for less than half the cost and have better communication with a mature respectful staff. Please save your money!!

The Cottages of Carmel is a small, home-like facility. It is on a single level and this makes it easy for all residents to access the entire facility. All of the staff are very friendly and helpful. There are plenty of activities to keep mom busy, including regular excursions out of the facility. The first thing you notice is the facility is bright and clean. I feel very comfortable with having my mom cared for at the Cottages of Carmel.

Toured facility and it was nice, but do not think my mother was impressed or interested in this community...it also was also priced a little higher which is out of the budget.

A little expensive. Co-mingles assisted living and memory care for events sometimes. Requires $2500 deosit. Currently we'd be at top of list
