Country Cottage Montgomery sits quietly on a peaceful cul-de-sac in Montgomery, Alabama, where the buildings are set up as individual cottages instead of one big place, so you've got a smaller, home-like feeling as you move about. The cottages are single-story and connected by walking paths that open up to cozy living rooms, a sunny porch, a quiet library, and a Country Kitchen where folks gather for meals. There's a family-style dining room for shared meals, but if you want to cook, some apartments have their own kitchens or kitchenettes, too. Rooms include studios, single rooms, and two-bedroom units, each with a private bath and walk-in shower, closet space, cable TV, individually controlled thermostats, as well as safety features like sprinkler systems and emergency alert systems.
The place handles assisted living, memory care, and respite care through the CareSteps Personalized Care Plan, which gets updated every three months or when a major change comes along. People get help with things like bathing, dressing, getting around, and personal hygiene, and the staff can handle diabetic care, incontinence, bowel and bladder care, and even give insulin injections. The Holly Cottage is set up for memory care, and it's built with safety in mind, using things like wandering bracelets and a computerized system that keeps an eye out if someone tries to leave. Those with Alzheimer's or dementia live in the secure memory care area, get more supervision, and can try multisensory therapy and structured activities.
They've got a part-time nurse around, and caregivers stay awake and on the job all through the night. Cleaning, tidying up, weekly laundry, and linen service come along with the room, so nobody's got to worry about chores piling up. If residents need a ride, transportation services take them to appointments, shopping, and outings, and there's guest parking plus onsite washers and dryers. There's a fitness center, beautician services, common areas inside and out, devotional services, and a salon/barbershop on the grounds, so everything stays close to home.
Activities happen throughout the week, from stretching and yoga to art, cooking, gardening, bingo nights, brain fitness groups, group games, crafts, intergenerational programs, movies, and field trips-not just to keep busy, but to keep people's spirits up and help them make friends. Meals are included, and if someone needs low-salt or low-sugar options, those are available, too, and guests are welcome for meals.
Apartment choices depend on what someone wants or needs, with studio prices starting around $2,000 per month, one-bedroom and two-bedroom units for a bit more, and memory care studios averaging about $4,750. Everything's managed by Cottage Senior Living, a family-owned provider, and the whole setup focuses on making sure folks can continue their routines, socialize, and get support as their needs change, all while living in a welcoming, friendly environment.
