					Columbia Cottage is a beautiful, lovely place. It's as close as it gets to living at home! The staff truly care about the residents' safety, well-being and happiness. They have a very strong activities program that engages residents and which they look forward to very much. Unfortunately, a few disgruntled job applicants have brought the overall rating down and have created a false impression. If I needed assisted living, this is where I'd want to be.

					Columbia Cottage is truly a wonderful place. This is not your ordinary assisted living. As a resident stated when we first arrived, if you can no longer live in your home, this is still close to it. The staff truly care about the residents. The food is good. There are activities and truly a place that treats residents with care and dignity. Grammy lived there over two years and we still have contact with residents and staff. I hate seeing the reduced stars regarding those for possible employment. They should note such on a site like indeed because I can tell you for the residents the staff hired there are truly caring and compassionate and hate someone to overlook checking this place out for the care of their loved one because of such.
