Peace of mind for Mom

Initially there was some confusion over mechanical soft diet order, and there are not as many options for special diets. Some of the activities are more childish than others. It is costly for the level of care given, but we are willing to pay more peace of mind that Moms getting quality care.

Review for Columbia Cottage

I was very impressed with the facility and staff. Very high level of personal care which was our primary concern. I only observed dinner which was spartan (soup and sandwich). Have no opinion on activities.

Review for Columbia Cottage

Excellent experience. Staff is caring and competent. Home-like atmosphere with all levels of staff involved in creating a family atmosphere. Picked this community for the ability to have a high level of care in an assisted living environment. Will have my mother stay through end of life, which means the world to have her in as friendly and supportive environment and not have to move her to another facility at the end when she needs the comfort of familiar caregivers.

Loving Daughter

My father was a resident at Columbia Cottage and overall his experience at this facility was okay. The cleanliness was great. However, I was not thrilled with the restrooms. They were not extremely ADA efficient for elderly care: no walk in shower and the toilet seats were low. I also wasn't thrilled with the placement of the emergency help pull string. Some of the staff were nicer than others. There was also a long response time, but they were short staffed. I thought that the physician care was lacking. It felt more like you people are old and going to die soon, so I'm just putting in my time. I would have rather stayed with my father's Primary Care Doctor had I known better. The food was okay, definitely not as advertised 'professional chef.'

Small and Flexible Assisted Living

Caring staff, willing to work with you on any special needs and well managed. I would recommend to others. We picked this community, because it was small enough to know every resident and 10 levels of care.

Columbia Cottage review

There are some benefits to it being a smaller community - we like how all the staff members work as a team and despite having different responsibilities they help out wherever it is needed. The meals and dining service compared to other experiences we have had at other facilities is a little less flexible on their dining times. The meals are served every day at the same time so everyone eats at the same time.

Columbia Cottage review

We really like and appreciate the attentiveness that comes from the nursing staff and the aids. The staff members keep up constant communication with our family. The community is always very clean and very well managed. We would recommend Columbia Cottage to other families based on our experience.

The activities they lost their director and not certain if she will be replaced. I believe there could be more engagement in the activities. The care staff is beyond exceptional and go above and beyond to take great care of our loved one. The Columbia Cottage is a beautiful facility and very well ran.

A perfect fit for special care needs

Overall I think it was the perfect place for my sister. They have been able to handle her needs very well and I have nothing but good reports from her son on the facility. The set up at the facility gives her the privacy that she wants. She has done remarkably well at getting better. We know she is in a safe environment and is getting excellent care. I would recommend them to others who are looking, especially for individuals who want to be more privacy but still have people checking in on them.

Review of Columbia Cottage

We entrusted both our father and mother Columbia's care when it became necessary. They have been wonderful through a trying time for family who didn't make the choice lightly. Mom is still in their very capable care and we all sleep better knowing she is loved and cared for by staff who are dedicated and loving!

Thank you Columbia Cottage in Collegeville PA

My husband and I want to thank the staff at Columbia Cottage in Collegeville for the continued wonderful care they have provided to our parents over the last 11 years. My husband’s parents came to Columbia Cottage in 2009. His father lived there 3 years and his mother 7 years. In 2016 my mother moved into Columbia Cottage as well. We can not tell you how much we appreciate all they have done and all they continue to do for our family. Columbia Cottage management should be very proud of their staff because they do such an excellent job of caring for the residents. We sleep better at night knowing my mom is still living at Columbia Cottage. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.
