"What a Delightful Day at Cottage Grove Place! Today I had the honor of being invited to Cottage Grove Place to participate in a panel—and I’m so glad I was invited! I learned so much about the community that I didn’t know before. There are so many wonderful features and benefits that I think people often overlook. One thing that truly stood out to me was how happy everyone seemed—both the residents and the staff. There’s a genuine sense of warmth and community, and the people who work there are absolutely delightful. As a bonus, I was treated to lunch, and let me just say: the creamy pesto chicken pasta was absolutely delicious! If you’re considering a move to a senior living community, I definitely recommend putting Cottage Grove Place on your list. It has so much to offer, and I came away truly impressed."

"Wonderful! Not only a beautiful place but also friendly and hard working staff! Fun activities and so much to offer! The residents are all very friendly and go out of their way to make people new to Cottage Grove feel welcome."

"The 2 seminars I attended were both excellent. Gina on down-sizing was super, informative and entertaining. The lady from AARP was both knowledgeable and very helpful."

"There is a magic in this place. I had a lucky moment in life, when I was fortunate enough to be able to experience this magic. It changed me. Made me want to do better, be better. This magic is now a part of me. Guides me in everything I do. I am grateful beyond measure."

"I have had experience with Cottage Grove Place through the nursing care department. We have also been invited to participate in activities after I got home. The staff is always very friendly and helpful. The residents speak highly of Cottage Grove Place through Place as well. Thank you for including us in your invitations."

"I have had the pleasure of visiting Cottage Grove Place hundreds of times over the past 8 years, and I must say, it exceeded all of my expectations. From the moment I walked through the doors, it was evident that this community is not just a place to live—it's a place to thrive. The staff at Cottage Grove Place are truly exceptional. They go above and beyond in every way to ensure that the residents feel comfortable, cared for, and valued. Whether it’s the friendly greetings, the attentive care, or the genuine smiles, you can tell that the staff here really care about each and every resident. It's not just a job for them; it’s a calling. The facilities are top-notch, offering a wide range of activities and amenities that cater to all interests and needs. Whether it's joining a fitness class, attending a social event, or simply enjoying the beautifully landscaped grounds, there's something for everyone here. The community has a warm and welcoming atmosphere that makes it easy to make friends and feel at home. One of the things that really stood out to me was the emphasis on personalized care. The staff take the time to get to know each resident, their preferences, and their needs. This individualized attention ensures that everyone receives the care and support they need, while still maintaining their independence and dignity. I also appreciate how the community fosters a sense of belonging and inclusion. There’s a strong focus on creating a family-like environment where residents feel connected and supported, both by the staff and by each other. It’s clear that Cottage Grove Place is committed to providing not just a place to live, but a place to enjoy life to the fullest. In short, Cottage Grove Place is a wonderful community where residents are truly cared for. If you’re looking for a place where your loved ones will be treated with the utmost respect and compassion, I highly recommend considering this community. It’s a place where care meets compassion, and where residents are treated like family."

"My mother in law lived at Cottage Grove Place in skilled care, Assisted Living Plus, and the health center. Staff everywhere were professional, patient, and kind as her dementia progressed, even when she was difficult to deal with. Many staff members have worked there for several years, which speaks to the friendly, caring environment at CGP. I would highly recommend Cottage Grove to anyone seeking professional, compassionate care for themselves or a family member."

"My mother in law has been living at Cottage Grove for over 6 years now and is so happy there. It is a beautiful facility, they have excellent food and the staff is absolutely amazing!!!! They have so many fun activities every month from outdoor cookouts to casino nights!!!! We are so happy we chose Cottage Grove for her!! If you are looking for a great place this is it!!!"

"My Mother is lucky to live at Cottage Grove Place. We are extremely pleased with the friendly staff. It’s a clean and gorgeous place. My Mother enjoys all the activities and gives her many opportunities to socialize. I highly recommend this care center."

"My grandparents live at Cottage Grove Place. Picking a retirement center is hard. We had to evaluate the benefits of community life and Cottage Grove Place was by far the best option. The caring staff, amazing management team and all the activities."
