Pineview Cottage sits in Harbor Springs, Michigan, and serves as a senior care community offering both assisted living and memory care in a cottage resort setting that feels pretty homey to most folks who move in, and you can really see that sense of comfort when you first step in the front door and get a warm welcome from the residents and staff, who do have a way of making newcomers feel at ease right away. Open since 2018 and spread across 35,000 square feet, the community contains 40 private suites, where each apartment has its own bedroom, sitting area, and a spacious, ADA-accessible bathroom. Pineview Cottage divides its apartments between 20 designated for assisted living and 20 for enhanced memory care, all focused on helping seniors live as independently as possible, but with care staff available around the clock to help with daily needs, medical care, and even cleaning, making the burdens a little lighter for everyone.
Residents at Pineview Cottage can join in on a lot of different activities, like crafts, puzzles, movies, music therapy, and social gatherings in shared spaces that include a living room, private dining room, beauty shop, on-site bar, pub, and a library, along with some unique spaces like a "This and That" room and even a canoe nearby, which brings a bit of that Northern Michigan cottage feeling. There's a real effort here to keep folks feeling comfortable, active, and social, with programs that include social, recreational, and educational activities, as well as a personalized Wellness Program that adapts to changing needs. For those who want to decorate, residents can bring their own favorite furnishings to make each suite feel more like home, and the dining options here have earned a good amount of praise for rivaling those in local restaurants.
Pineview Cottage doesn't allow pets, but does offer plenty of comfort and thoughtful details for folks needing assisted living or those with Alzheimer's disease, dementia, or other memory loss, with memory care apartments designed to address their unique needs through personalized care plans and specialized support, including help with behavioral and emotional needs. Hospice and transitional care coordination are available, and there's access to devotional services offsite. The staff, described as compassionate and dedicated, treat residents much like family, following a "Dignity in Life" mission that's visible in how they support each person's individuality and design a therapeutic environment centered on each resident. Residents, guests, and newcomers can find local visitor information on dining, shopping, attractions, Petoskey Stones, local events, and even links to area webcams. Pineview Cottage follows State License AH240389978 and stays active in the wider community through local events, business programming, and support services, quietly working to create a setting where seniors can find comfort, connection, and support as they age.
