Cottages of Carmel is located in beautiful downtown Carmel. This facility is top notch cleanly, and offers its residents a fully catered meal three times a day. With lots of activities planned daily to keep residents entertained, Cottages of Carmel goes above and beyond to make residents stay comfortable. The key sticking point for me though was the ease of accessibility for my wheelchair bound friend. All the areas in the facility are handicap accessible and all the door throughout the main parts of the building are controlled by push button openers. Without even having to go and look to find a nurse, my friend was constantly being helped and pushed around the facility by some of their nice nurses who seemed to care for my friend as if he were their own. The one drawback to this facility is I do feel their upper management is very business based and I have seen attempted cost cutting measures around their building that are not necessarily best for their residents. No offense, but 1 ply non-soft toilet paper standard in all rooms can not be very pleasant in specific situations.
