The Cottages Assisted Living & Memory Care - Emmett sits in a quiet area off of 12th Street and provides care in a small, home-like setting with only 16 units, so residents get a more personal touch than in larger places, and you'll find both private and semi-private rooms, some furnished if you don't want to bring too much, and the studio setup works well for many. The staff is there around the clock, including a nurse, and the caregivers know how to help people with Alzheimer's and dementia, whether someone needs memory care in a secure unit or just an extra hand with daily things like bathing, dressing, and taking medicine, and since the team speaks multiple languages, families that need bilingual help can find it here.
People who need different levels of care pay different amounts, starting around $3,800 a month, with the option to use Medicaid, Medicaid Waiver, long-term care insurance, or private pay, which matters for a lot of folks making a plan. The community covers the basics like laundry and housekeeping, provides nutritious meals and snacks tailored for special diets, and sets up regular transportation for doctor visits, errands, or just a group outing, so no one has to worry about getting around town, and there's a barber and salon for anyone wanting a trim or some self-care. For people who need a break or are coming out of the hospital, there's respite care and short-term stays, or even just day programs for adults, so family caregivers can rest easier for a day or two.
Everyone can join social programs, movie nights, walks in the garden, and activities for the mind and body, which helps folks stay engaged, make friends, and feel like they've got a little community. Controlled access and staff trained in keeping the place safe add up to peace of mind, and having a 24-hour call system means help's always close at hand. The Cottages work closely with healthcare providers and help with all sorts of medical needs such as incontinence, diabetes, and others, doing their best to keep every resident healthy and comfortable. The Emmett location is also near clinics, pharmacies, dining spots, and spiritual centers, so people can keep up with things outside if they want, and the care team does their best to make the place feel friendly, respectful, and homelike for everyone living there.
