KindredHearts of Cottage Grove

KindredHearts of Cottage Grove sits in a small, intimate setting and has more than 35 years of experience in senior care, offering assisted living, memory care, independent living, and short-term respite stays. The community's focus stays on helping people keep their independence but giving support when it's needed, like medication reminders and personal assistance or help with moving around. Trained dementia care specialists give special attention in the secured memory care area, and they work with residents who may have major behavior challenges from Alzheimer's or dementia, with alarm bracelets and computerized alerts for safety. Staff remains onsite at all hours to give personalized care, even including nurse oversight, and can provide mechanical lift transfers and different levels of mobility assistance-like one- or two-person help-so folks can remain in familiar surroundings as their needs change. Rooms come sized for comfort, with wall-to-wall carpet, kitchenettes with sinks and microwaves, full tubs and walk-in, grab-bar showers; every space remains wheelchair friendly, and handrails run throughout the building for extra support. Sprinkler systems, emergency pull cords, alarmed exterior doors, and a full fire safety system help keep everyone secure. Community spaces include a family room with a fireplace, indoor and outdoor common areas, full-screen TV lounge, and a dining room that serves a range of meals, including vegetarian choices. There's a beauty/barber shop, onsite beautician, devotional services, and activities designed for people with memory loss to help keep folks engaged, with transportation and parking for those who still drive or go out. The patio, BBQ area, raised gardening beds, and designated smoking sections give people spots to enjoy the outdoors. Custom care plans and fees fit each person's needs, and KindredHearts's small house style makes it easier for people to get to know each other, creating a warm, family-like feel. The focus always remains on letting residents live how they want each day while making sure the needed help is always at hand.
