    About The Cottage

    The Cottage is a small senior care home that's been serving Pasadena, California, since 2005, and it sits at 1258 N Sierra Bonita Avenue, offering just six beds in a cozy, home-like setting, where the focus really is on personal comfort and individual attention, so residents get help with daily tasks like bathing, dressing, and managing their medications without feeling rushed or forgotten, and the staff are friendly and trained to create a relaxed environment that values each person's independence as much as possible. This place has a license as a Residential Care Facility for the Elderly-number 197605964-and is also certified by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, even though it doesn't take Medicare for its care services, which means families can be sure The Cottage follows the important health and safety rules set by both state and federal groups. The Cottage works as both an assisted living and a board and care community, so seniors who stay for the long-term, or who need short-term respite care to give family caregivers a break, get support from staff who help with incontinence care, meals, and always look for ways to help everyone stay as independent as possible, all while fostering real companionship between caregivers and residents. There's a structured program to keep folks busy with social, educational, and entertaining activities, and all the amenities you'd expect for daily comfort in a small, familiar environment, making The Cottage a practical choice for families looking for personal care and reliable supervision in Pasadena.

    No, The Cottage does not offer respite care. Respite care in assisted living communities provides temporary, short-term relief for primary caregivers by offering professional care for their loved ones. It allows individuals to stay in an assisted living community for a limited time, giving caregivers a break while ensuring residents receive necessary support and assistance with daily activities.
