Hickory Senior Living

My mom’s experience at Columbia Cottage has been exceptional for many reasons but the relationships she has made and the copious variety of activities offered are top of the list. The staff is fun and positive and she has made friends she loves dearly. From holiday parties, to exercise, crafts and music, the activities are always a celebration and family is included often. So grateful for Columbia Cottage for not only caring for my mom’s personal needs but her social ones as well.

With both parents just coming out of rehabilitation and one of them needing handicap facilities, Columbia Cottage was the answer to their needs. The genuine love, kindness and compassion from the staff was remarkable! Communication about their needs was always a phone call away. Such a blessing when family can’t always be onsite. We are thankful for the 3 years that Columbia Cottage of Florence's staff so graciously cared for our parents! The Simmons Family

Columbia Cottage is an outstanding assisted-living facility. The staff is professional and caring with the residents. I am pleased with the care my mother receives and would highly recommend Columbia Cottage.

My father-in-law moved to the Cottages about a month after his wife of 65 years died. They had moved often so moving was easy for him but he had never moved alone. Everyone, including the other residents gave him the assurance that he would be fine. They encouraged him to attend the scheduled activities and to spend his time in the common areas. He immediately did not feel alone and felt a part of a new kind of family. Cottages continues to make sure that we are adjusting to his new environment as well. The administrators have checked on us and given reports even before and after hours. Whenever we call or visit they take time to answer questions or fill our needs. When we visit all members of the staff call the residents by name and seem very observant of the residents activities. Having the PT & NP visit them in their apartments gives them the privacy they need without leaving their home for appts. It’s been a great experience for all of us.

Helpful, assuring, caring, and responsive are all words I'd use to describe the Cottage staff and management. Thank you all and everyone. Overall a five, maybe a slight improvement could be made in the meals. Thank you again!!!

My mom is really enjoying her first month at the Cottage . Everyone has made her feel at home and she enjoys the activities. [name removed], [name removed] and [name removed] have all be so helpful. The entire staff seems to care about the well being of each person live there.. We are truly relieved that our mom is in good hands, safe and making new friends

From the first time I entered the doors for a tour everyone has been so welcoming and friendly. My mother did not want to leave her house but after many falls and slight dementia she was no longer able to be alone. She has loved living at the cottage and is very content.

3 yrs ago our mom passed away unexpectedly. She was the primary caretaker for our disabled dad. We realized quickly that the 5 of us adult kids couldn’t do all she did for dad. We spent nearly 6 mos searching for the ‘right’ place, looking at every facility between 2 states and 5 counties. The first visit to Columbia Cottage we knew this was it! Since moving there he has THRIVED! His health and mental/emotional state have improved and we’re back to just being his kids. I can’t say enough good things about Columbia Cottage. It has that feel of a southern home with the big covered porch, he loves sitting out there talking with his new friends. It offers privacy with him having his own apartment yet he has access to 24hr/day care and support. Wonderful meals, weekly apartment deep cleaning, on site beauty/barber services and tons of awesome activities are just a few of the great benefits. This place was truly heaven sent for our family.

Our family had an in person tour and it was a great experience the staff were very nice

We've experienced nothing but good things and great help. The care seems to be top notch, and the staff are lovely They serve plentiful food, three meals a day and snacks. And it's a very safe place for my elderly relative to be.

Dogwood is a good place. we've been very pleased. we especially appreciate a few people, [name removed], the attendant/aide - she is so sweet and good to my mother. she holds her accountable, but does it in a way that my mom is so complaint with her. she is so kind and caring and does things the right way. [name removed], the director - she is all over it and she is really good with folks. she runs a tight ship, but she is so compassionate and she makes sure things are done right. [name removed], the nurse, she's the same as the director. they are an incredibly good team, they do everything they can to make sure every single resident is taken care of and cared or. they make sure they tailor their care to each persons needs. we also really like that its small. my mom doesn't have a lot of stamina so its small enough to where she can get anywhere she needs to go without having to stop and rest. there's only about 21-22 residents total and we really like that. its not flashy, its very tasteful and it fits our family really well. all the residents know each other so its a good community.

This is a very nice place and I think they are doing a very good job at this community. They have activities and a form posted with things for the residents to do and my loved one participates sometimes in the activities that they have available. I have been very happy with the staff and anytime I have said anything to them about anything it has been resolved and my loved one has been taken care of.

The director and staff at the Lawrenceburg Cottage was and remains extremely helpful in transitioning my loved one to their facility. Information was detailed and thorough, recommendations were clear. Questions were answered timely and professionally. Maintenance was instrumental in preparing her room. I have entered the facility on at least an every other day basis for three weeks now. The staff members are kind, considerate and polite. The seem eager to care for their patients, are respectful and polite to each other. This is by no measures an easy transition for patients and their families. I could not have asked for greater cooperation than what we have been given. Thank you Lawrenceburg Cottage director and staff. [name removed] has been extremely helpful.

Virtual tour, good but didn't like the location. The woman who helped us was great.

I would recommend the community as my loved one loves it here. The staff are nice and my loved one enjoys the food. Some of the activities available include arts and crafts, and more for the residents to choose from.

I would recommend it to others. Everybody there is very friendly. The facility is clean. It seems like a really nice place. And I feel like the cost is reasonable.

This community was good but my loved one was a bit combative so it was hard to find a community that would be willing to accept her. We had to go with a different community due to her needs and her background.
