What this means for your family
Cottage Grove Place offers an excellent environment for independent living with a strong LifeCare model. However, families considering the health center or memory care should be vigilant; please specifically ask about their medication administration protocols and weekend staffing ratios, as multiple reports have raised concerns regarding safety and understaffing.

65 reviews on Google“Cottage Grove Place is a well-regarded LifeCare community that receives high praise for its continuum of care, friendly staff, and well-maintained campus. While many families and residents express deep satisfaction with the transition from independent living to higher levels of care, there are serious reports regarding medication errors and staffing challenges in the health center. Families should carefully vet the facility's current clinical oversight and staffing ratios, particularly for residents requiring intensive memory or skilled nursing care.”

Key Review Excerpts
“Most seriously, my mother has received incorrect medications on THREE separate occassions. Luckily she was coherent and realized she had been given the wrong cup of pills the first two times. Today she was given,and took, someone elses meds.”
“My mother in law lived at Cottage Grove Place in skilled care, Assisted Living Plus, and the health center. Staff everywhere were professional, patient, and kind as her dementia progressed, even when she was difficult to deal with.”
“I am a CNA (Certified Nurse’s Aid). This place is VERY costly and it is not worth the price. It’s no better than any other facility. It’s worse than many others, in several respects. I was DNRed (Do Not Return) for calling for help on a Saturday morning, when I had 28 Residents, all by myself.”
