When someone is living with Alzheimer’s or another form of dementia, finding the right support becomes one of the most important decisions a family can make. While every person’s journey is unique, having access to specialized care in a compassionate environment can make a meaningful difference for both residents and their families.
At The Cottages, our memory care assisted living community offers a warm, family-style atmosphere designed to provide personalized support while helping residents maintain comfort, dignity and a sense of purpose. This year marks the 20th anniversary of The Cottages, reflecting two decades of dedicated care, thoughtfully planned programming and a secure setting where residents are encouraged to enjoy each day in ways that are meaningful to them.
A Personalized Approach in Private Living Spaces
No two individuals experience memory loss in exactly the same way. That’s why personalized care is at the heart of memory care assisted living at The Cottages.
Residents enjoy the privacy and personal space of their own individual residence while receiving tailored assistance with daily activities from our team, including Certified Nursing Assistants (CNAs) available 24 hours a day. The Glen’s team takes the time to understand each resident’s unique background, preferences, interests and daily routines to support independence whenever possible.
Personalized support may include assistance with:
- Daily routines
- Medication management
- Personal care
- Dining and nutrition
- Wellness
A Secure Environment That Encourages Independence
Safety is an important consideration for individuals living with memory loss, but a secure environment should also support independence and connection.
The Cottages feature an electronically secured building with a comfortable, residential layout. Residents have access to inviting mutual spaces that foster connection, including a spacious kitchen, cozy living area, charming family-style dining room and a light-filled sunroom. Outside, a secured courtyard with a walking path, seating areas and a gazebo allows residents to enjoy fresh air and engage with nature in a safe, predictable setting.
Programming with Purpose
Meaningful programming plays an important role in supporting cognitive wellness and emotional well-being. At The Cottages, programming is designed to provide stimulating, therapeutic experiences tailored to individual abilities and interests.
Depending on individual preferences, programming and amenities include:
- Music and art therapy experiences
- Memory games and cognitive enrichment
- Gentle fitness and physical movement
- Group conversations and seasonal celebrations
- Family-style dining
Peace of Mind for Families
Choosing memory care assisted living is often an emotional decision. Families want reassurance that their parent, spouse or family member is receiving attentive, round-the-clock care from people they can trust. Knowing a dedicated team is available 24/7 provides peace of mind, allowing families to spend more time enjoying quality visits and less time worrying about caregiving responsibilities.
Regular communication and a strong partnership between families and team members ensure each resident’s needs continue to be met with compassion and respect.
Part of a Continuum of Care
One of the distinct advantages of choosing The Glen is the availability of a full continuum of care on one campus.
Residents who have lived in other areas of The Glen can transition smoothly to The Cottages if their memory care needs change, allowing them to stay in familiar surroundings near team members they already know. Families also benefit from knowing higher levels of support, such as skilled nursing or rehabilitation, are readily available if circumstances evolve.
