Kingwood Cottage sits at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac in a calm neighborhood, right next to the Kingwood Cove Golf Club, so residents look out at green lawns and old oak trees instead of busy streets, and since Southwestern Care Assisted Living owns and operates it, you get a smaller, more personal feeling with only eight private rooms, one larger shared room, and three ADA-approved barrier-free bathrooms, which makes the cottage feel cozy but not cramped, and it's all on one level for easy accessibility, with wider doorways and showers that fit wheelchairs. This place provides both assisted living and memory care in a secure section built for people with Alzheimer's or dementia, with staff who check on people all day and night and use technology like bracelets and secure exits to help keep residents safe, so folks who wander, act out, or have behavior issues can still get care, which makes a big difference for families with harder-to-care-for loved ones. Nurses are on staff and doctors are always on call, so if someone needs insulin, medications, or extra medical help-including people who need transfers with lifts or who can't walk or need total care-it can all be handled right there, and there's regular visits available from dentists, podiatrists, and therapists plus options for home health, hospice, or respite care if things change.
Residents have help with all the basics like eating, bathing, dressing, grooming, and moving around-however much or little help is needed-with privacy and dignity respected, and the staff, who've been doing this for 26 years, say they aim to keep things caring, relaxed, and warm, like a true home, which you notice in the homestyle meals, big dining room, and group activities both inside and outside, like music therapy, exercise classes, a swimming pool, and courtyard gatherings, and there's extra programs for memory care, even for residents who like to stay busy all day long or those who need more supervision. Each person has a personalized care plan to match health or behavior needs, and there's options for gluten-free, low sugar, low sodium, vegetarian, or kosher meals, plus room service and special guest meals, and the menus get nutritionist approval. Laundry, cleaning, and utilities are all included, so families don't face surprise bills, and residents get cable TV, big indoor and outdoor spaces, social activities, and weekly salon visits for haircuts or grooming.
Kingwood Cottage welcomes both women and men, even folks with higher needs like diabetic care, incontinence, or physical aggression, and they can provide everything from light help with reminders, all the way up to total care for someone unable to do anything for themselves, and they accept people who might try to leave or have unusual behaviors, with safety alarms and Brinks security systems in place to help keep everyone safe. The facility doesn't allow smoking inside or in shared public areas and doesn't accept pets, but stretching classes, yoga, and offsite outings round out the mix for anyone who can-and wants to-participate. Parking's available for residents, and complimentary transportation is offered for medical appointments or errands. Rooms come in studio and shared setups, with private baths where possible, and residents can enjoy social meals in shared dining rooms, or enjoy time in the big media room, pool area, or outside in the large courtyard under the shade of old trees. Kingwood Cottage has stood for a quarter-century, looking after seniors needing help with daily living in an honest, straightforward way, and keeps its focus on providing safe, friendly, and dependable care, no matter how complex or simple a resident's needs turn out to be.
