Hickory Senior Living

My mother spent the last several years of her life at the Cottage. Soon after she moved in it became home to her and the people there became family. There simply aren't enough words to describe how much of a blessing the Cottage was to my mother and our entire family! If you are looking for a place for your family member or loved one I highly recommend the Cottage!

My mother moved to Columbia Cottage 3 years age. She has been very well cared for.

My mother was a resident of Columbia Cottage in Florence, Alabama for about eight years. She moved in when she was [age removed]and stayed until she died at the age of [age removed]. During that time her required level of care when from zero to extremely high. No matter her needs, the staff at Columbia Cottage were always very attentive, compassionate and loving as they were giving her professional care'. The staff at the Cottage worked hard to create an atmosphere of home. We were always so comfortable and reassured that mother was in a wonderful place. They all called her Momma and, just as you should, they took very good care of her!

A sweet member of my church family moved to Country Cottage in Russellville. I can't say enough positive things about this community. The staff are always available to help her. She said she didn't know what she would do without her "girls" at the Cottage. I pop in to check on her all the time. They have great activities and the food is absolutely fantastic. Their cook should open a restaurant. We are so thankful for these sweet ladies who work here and take excellent care of my friend. I would recommend 10 out of 10!

Momma has made many friends among the staff and other residences. She goes to activities and is well cared for by the staff.

Country Cottages is a wonderful home for Mom. She is in a friendly and loving atmosphere. They take good care of Mom and check in with me often with updates and any questions. It has the right balance of independent living with assistance as needed.

Once our mother got adjusted from her move to Columbia Cottage in Hartselle, she has been very happy and content. She now refers to it as "home" any time we take her for an outing and is always ready to get back. The staff is friendly and caring and she has nothing but good things to say about them when asked if she likes it there. I would definitely recommend Columbia Cottage to anyone looking for a home for their family member.

I could not think of a better place for a loved one to be than the Columbia Cottage. My grandmother was a resident there, and they truly made her feel at home. All of the workers are precious, and they all genuinely care about the well-being of their residents. I would definitely recommend!!

It is always a hard decision to make when your mom can’t stay at home by herself any longer. Columbia Cottage was an answered prayer. The first day I walked in I knew that mom would be happy there. She made lots of great friends & enjoyed the activities, little outings & special occasions. They took good care of her & we were thankful for that. When her health started declining they were so good to our family. We will always love & appreciate the staff at Columbia Cottage.

My father was at The Cottage several years ago. I was very impressed then with his care and even more so now that my sister, [name removed], is there. She is well taken care of, loves the other residents and all the workers. Her safety and happiness means the world to her family, and we never have to worry about her. I have some experience with other assisted living facilities through my in-laws, and none compare to The Cottage!

My Dad lived independently at Columbia Cottage for 1 1/2 years until he was hospitalized and transferred to a rehab/nursing home facility where he died 6 weeks later. Thanks to the loving care he received from the staff at Columbia Cottage, he enjoyed life to the fullest until going to the hospital. He enjoyed 3 delicious meals daily, went to every church services and devotionals everyday and participated in “in house” activities and “off site” field trips!! Several examples of field trips included actual fishing outings to McFarland Park and train rides, duck feedings and lunch at Spring Park in Tuscumbia. My Dad lived with me for 9 months but I quickly realized that he needed much more socializing and activity than I could provide!! The atmosphere and staff were 100 percent better than I could provide at my home since my husband and I were still working. He even participated in an exercise class which helped him physically and mentally!! I will be grateful to the staff forever!!!!!!!

My mom has been a resident here for a few years now. She entered during a most difficult time period at the beginning of Covid restrictions. The local staff however went above and beyond to take great care of her, and help her with the transition. She receives great care and there are always fun activities available keeping the residents occupied and busy. My mom was so very lonely after we lost my dad, but she has a whole new cottage of great friends who have become like family to her and to us as well. The sweet staff loves and cares for my mom as if she is their very own mother. We are so very blessed to be a part of the Columbia Cottage family!!

My sister moved in last year. I asked her last week how she liked it. Her answer was “I really like it here. The caregivers are so good to me and I’m getting good care.” That was all I needed to hear. Columbia Cottage is clean, the rooms are large and the staff is loving. I’m thankful my sister is there and more importantly happy!”

My mother absolutely enjoyed living at the cottages but it was the staff she loved so much that made the difference and I appreciated so much the love and care they each showed her from the day she arrived until the day she left for her eternal home they were by her side. I will never forget them and will forever be grateful for The Cottages. ??

My Mom has been a resident at the cottage for 3 years and I can't say enough good things about it. It truly is as close to home and family environment you can find. I definitely recommend if you are looking for a assisted living for your loved one.

I give them 5 stars for the care my loved one has and is receiving. If I ever have a concern, they are very attentive and work with us to resolve any issue.

My Mom has resided st Columbia Cottage for several years, and has loved it. She never complains about anything, and frequently brags on the staff. They are so sweet to her, and she feels like she is part of the "family." And they proactively work with me to find solutions whenever necessary to ensure my Mom continues to love residing there. I highly recommend considering Columbia Cottage for your loved one!

How blessed we've been to happen on this quaint, homey care facility.. it draws you in when you first walk in with its comfy and cozy furnishings.. But what makes The Cottages really stand out are the caring Executive staff and support staff that truly love the residents and are always watching out for there wellbeing.. They are professional, responsive and ready to listen to residents and their families. They have truly been a blessing to our loved one and us.

My Aunt [name removed] loved it there. They do all kinds of outings, music, crafts. The employees at Columbia cottage are wonderful people. They take such good care of all their tenants. I have recommended this place to alot of people with older parents. When you are there you are never lonely. They keep the sweet people that are there busy all the time. This is a wonderful place for Mom or Dad.

The staff was so helpful with transitioning my aunt from rehab to her apartment at the cottages. Everyone was kind and attentive. The food was excellent.
