Carol's Country Cottage

Carol's Country Cottage is a small retirement community at 1805 Southwest 317th Place in Federal Way, Washington, where up to six residents live in a home-like setting and receive care for many needs like assisted living, hospice, memory care, and long-term support. The staff aim to be joyful, kind, and helpful, creating a friendly place for seniors who may need extra help with tasks like bathing, dressing, bathroom trips, and hygiene, and the Cottage has 24-hour supervision for added safety, which is important especially for people with Alzheimer's since the facility is protected and prevents wandering, and there are personalized care plans to meet each resident's medical and personal needs. There's also a focus on entertainment and staying active, with things to do every day like movie nights, music programs, exercise sessions, game nights, and activities for memory care, including board games, music therapy, and pet therapy, and there are awards for best meals and for programs that help residents stay social, active, and mentally engaged. Seniors here get three homemade meals a day made by chefs and meal planners who make sure food has the right balance of vitamins and minerals, and there's help for people who have diabetes or high blood pressure, and snacks are available, too. The facility offers places like a movie room, a music area, a game room, an outdoor garden, and a reading room, so there's always something going on, and there's access to a barber or beauty shop either at the home or through a mobile hairdresser. If someone needs to go to the doctor, to church, to shop, or go out somewhere, transportation and parking are included and free, and staff can help plan these trips and provide support for mobility needs. There's a hot tub, a steam room, and a wellness area, which some residents like to use for relaxation or therapy, and the garden spaces let people enjoy being outdoors. There's memory care with tailored treatments and special events for people with Alzheimer's disease, and those who need hospice care or just a break can get respite services, too. The pet policy allows for dogs and cats, and the overall size of the home, with only six residents, means care can stay personal and focused, which seems nice for those looking for a quiet and close community. Carol's Country Cottage also offers flowers, plants, and gifts for delivery, and there's a satisfaction guarantee for its floral products, with on-time and fresh delivery promised Monday through Friday, plus same-day service in the Federal Way area, and each flower order always includes a greeting card, so residents or their loved ones can mark special occasions. The Cottage has staff trained to help with incontinence care and aims to make daily life easier for people who might struggle with mobility, providing help with showers, washing, and clothing as it's needed. The facility isn't large or flashy, but it gives a lot of personal attention to each resident, with scheduled daily events, community meals, and a secure and supportive environment.
