Cottages of Swansboro has six cozy cottages, each with six private bedrooms and bathrooms, and you'll find those at places like 103 Pelican Circle, 107 Pelican Circle, and 113 Pelican Circle, including Cottage III and Cottage VI, and the cottages all have covered porches at the front and back where folks like to sit and visit, especially when the breeze picks up from the coast, and you can sure tell the place was designed to feel home-like, with a warm, welcoming atmosphere you can sense as soon as you walk up, and even though technical problems mean there's no way to get every detail today, you do see they provide help with dressing, grooming, feeding, and all the regular activities of daily living that seniors often need, and there's help for those who need medication management or incontinence care, so people get support but still feel independent.
Housekeeping and laundry get taken care of, so there's less to worry about, and they serve meals that focus on good nutrition and quality ingredients, and there's always something happening-arts and crafts classes, trips out to nail salons and local cafés, outings and field trips, regular group exercises, and visits to the beauty salon that's right on site, while the community center gives everyone a spot to watch movies or enjoy live music together.
Residents can use high-speed Wi-Fi and get help with transportation for doctor visits, and there's someone to help coordinate these visits and other needs, with a registered nurse on site 24/7, plus an on-site physician, so health concerns get addressed any hour of the day, and the place can handle non-ambulatory care, Alzheimer's care, and respite care if families need a break. Staff are described as helpful, joyful, and kind, which makes a big difference when you're new or having a hard day, and residents get to stay active and social, with full-time activity directors making sure there's always something to keep minds and spirits up.
Cottages of Swansboro is family owned and operated, with a dedicated family team, and they try hard to create a personal, supportive experience for each person, offering a new concept for assisted living in an intimate setting where people can feel settled, safe, and engaged, and the coastal setting brings a kind of comfort and calm that comes from being close to the water, and it's this focus on kindness and support that's earned it recognition as a Best of Senior Living community.
