White Pine Advanced Memory Care of Cottage Grove

My husband says he likes living at this community. The staff are real nice to him and make the residents feel like family. They are interactive with the residents and encourage them to participate in some of the daily activities. I have tried the dinner and it is good. The memory care has a nice deck outside for the residents to enjoy. I would recommend this community.

My wife is doing pretty well here at this community. So far everything is working out good, I'am pleased. This is a nice looking community, they do a good job with the cleanliness. They have a good staff, they have been very attentive and caring. I know she is in good hands. They serve well balanced meals. She is being cared for well here and I would recommend it. It is a nice place.

L/M for Ann 7/11 Not a good option financially. Take EW for residents who age in place, want 3 years resources. Have currently one shared space available for EW. Ann was great and tried hard to make it work for us but it would mean moving Mom in 5 months from private pay to shared room and change makes her behavior worse.

We are very pleased with them. They are very clean, and the staff is friendly. We don't have any complaints. She seems to be eating well and likes the food. I like the big room that you walk into it's almost like it's sound proof, it's very comfortable and quiet. It is also in a good location for us.

The staff and aids were very helpful and friendly. The house manager was nice, knowledge, and very professional in helping me fill out the paperwork. I feel that my Mom is safe in your environment.

At times they can be a little slow to respond, but at night they don't have the staffing that they do in the day. She complains that sometimes the wait times are longer than she would like. They seem to offer a lot in the activities department, they have a new activities director that seems to keep everyone very busy. It seems like they have quite a bit of turnover, but on the other hand the people that have been there since we've been there, have been really accommodating. There are some days one person may like the food but others don't. I would say in variety on the food it's a five. The building is only a couple of years old, and we liked the way it was laid out. The staff is friendly. If there were other people in my same predicament they would be impressed with them. It's at the lower end of the money scale than some of the places we looked at. There are enough residents there that you don't feel like you are just one person. There is a community room where people can come and sit and socialize.
