What this means for your family
This facility offers a vibrant social calendar and beautiful living spaces that many families appreciate. However, because there are recurring, serious reports of unprofessional management and inconsistent care in the memory care wing, we strongly advise you to meet with the specific department heads and observe the facility during off-hours before committing.

Key Review Excerpts
“I cannot say enough positive things about Deedra, the Director of Memory Care at Cogir. From the beginning, she led with compassion, calm, and genuine respect for both residents and families.”
“If I could give Cogir zero stars I would. My grandmother is in the memory care wing at Cogir. During her stay, she is left in her room, with the lights off, in her diaper which is soiled with urine.”
“The staff at this establishment are notably unfriendly. The services they advertise also do not align with reality. Unfortunately, it seems that the staff are not actively engaged in their duties.”
