Key Review Excerpts

The Cottages at Edgewood was a slice of peace in an otherwise chaotic time for our family. The staff and facility were top notch all the way thru to the last breath.

Long-term resident's family · 2019★★★★★

Residents don’t get help with hygiene; no teeth brushing, face washing or keeping hair cleaned and combed. They say they provide showers but they don’t.

Family member · 2025☆☆☆☆

They accepted my loved one for 7k a month, within 6 months they jacked the rate to 9k/mo. They pressured for an automatic checking authorization for my loved ones retirement account.
