Cottingham Retirement Community has a huge advantage to the rest of the facilities we visited. It's less than a mile from my house, it's very clean, and it's been newly updated decor-wise. If I had any complaints at all, it's that the apartments were a little bit small. The people were lovely, the activities were good, and the size of the building was excellent for my mother. Right now, that's our number one choice. Everybody lives pretty much together, and Mom would technically be assisted. Most of the people we met were wonderful. We met lots of staff that day, and they were all very kind and concerned. We met a lot of residents who all were very happy. I was quite impressed. It's a very homey place. They don't worry about being exquisite. They've got a homelike atmosphere. There were people gathered down in the main lobby just chatting. There was one small area they were still redoing that was kind of closed off, but otherwise the place was immaculate.

We toured this facility, but did not see any caregivers during our time in the building and did not see any residents coming out for activities, socialization. This facility for where we toured seemed like it was more geared as senior apartments and not geared toward the assisted living side.

Cottingham was clean. The people were very nice and very informative. They have up-to-date facilities with very nice rooms.

Cottingham Retirement Community was fine. Everyone was very friendly and very caring. The place seemed clean.

We like Cottingham very much. We just visited there a couple of times and we liked their apartment. They have a lot of activities for the residents. They were my second choice and I thought they would be a good facility also. The staff seemed very nice and they knew all the residents by their first name. They also seemed very attentive.

My parents stayed in Cottingham Retirement Community for almost 12 months. I would recommend this place for assisted living. It was clean. They also had a choice of meal 3 times a day. Their nursing care was pretty good and they were also friendly. They had outings, bingo and other card games and music programs. But the staff was not always careful about their privacy.

My grandfather has been at Cottingham Retirement Community for almost three years, and I would recommend this assisted living community for your relative or friend. The comfort Cottingham provides for the elderly must be pleasant, because my grandfather did not want to be moved out of his house, but immediately adjusted to life in his new home. We no longer had to worry about him injuring himself with no one to help him.Every time I visit Cottingham, the grounds and interior are clean, spacious, and bright. There are plenty of skylights, windows, and decorations like plants and antique furniture to make the residents feel at home. Activities are hosted regularly, such as Wii bowling, movie nights, and sports game viewing. Additionally, a church service is held every Saturday.The staff at Cottingham is friendly, attentive, and experienced. My grandfather has dementia, and most of the staff is very helpful, with the rare occasion of an impatient cafeteria worker or nurse. I have joined him during a Christmas lunch, and the food is very good. When an issue or question arises regarding my grandfather's health, the staff immediately attends to it in a helpful manner. Overall, I would say our family could not be happier with the care and comfort my grandfather has at Cottingham Retirement Community.
