The Cottages of Carmel

Cottages of Carmel was a wonderful place for my mother to spend her final 3 years. The care and compassion starts at the top with Julie and Gina, and filter all the way down to the med techs, the dining personnel and even the cleaning staff. My mother enjoyed a warm and caring relationship with many of the staff members and had close friendships with other residents. The food was excellent and she enjoyed the group exercise classes and the daily walks and excursions. Beyond the outstanding facilities, the true caring nature of every person she encountered at Cottages make it a very special and unique place to call home. I am extremely grateful for the excellent care she received and highly recommend it.

The Cottages of Carmel is still new. It has one level. Tony likes that he has a nice shower and bathroom, because that’s really important for him. It has nice and decent-sized closets. The light really comes through the windows, so it’s warm and inviting. The staff are great. They have great piano players that come in. Today when I left, they had two singers doing Christmas songs. Their food is phenomenal. They do exercises, pilates, and they bring in all kinds of musical instruments. They have lots of good activities. There’s a nurse on staff. If he needs something, he just pulls the cord or push the button on his little pendant necklace; and he’s safe at any time of the day or night, which was a great relief. It has a memory care too, so you can just transfer if things get worse. I would recommend this facility to other people looking for the same kind of care. It is in a good location; there are stores all around.

I was impressed with the person I spoke to because she was lovely, very knowledgeable, and very experienced. I would have nothing negative to say about The Cottages at all. The one unit that was available for me to see that day was small. I saw a one and a two-bedroom, and they provide a weekly room service. They have a lot of activities that I would be interested in engaging in. The place is immaculate. The location was very tempting for me because you are free to walk out the door. You could go across to a charming and small shopping center. The food here is lovely. I would recommend it. I would say that it is the best that we have to offer here in the Carmel-Monterey area.
