I am a friend or relative of a current/past resident
We were leary to move our mother who has alzheimers from the facility that she had resided in for the past 4 years. When we arrived at the Memory Lane Cottages our fears melted away as our mother was welcomed into a bright well layed out room with an adjoining bathroom which was large and well equipped to meet her needs. The staff was warm, attentive and cheerful. The activities director engages the residents in bingo on the shaded patio. Light filters into the comfortable dining area and residents can move about freely from inside to the outside fenced backyard. The food is very appetizing and cooked right on site. This is the kind of place that a family can be proud to place their loved one!

I visited this facility
Memory Lane Cottage is awesome! The building itself is so spacious, warm and comfortable. The activity program seems outstanding. And, the walking trails and courtyard are so large, that the residents can wander day and night and not be confined to the inside of a building. They were preparing food while I was there; the kitchen is open so the smells for the residents were fabulous. The operators have really brought an amazing program to our community!

I visited this facility
Toured the facility and was very pleased with the staff and the look of the building. I must say this was the first memory building I visited and felted welcomed by the staff. They treated me as if my mother was already a resident there. They food being served was something I would have mind sitting down and enjoying myself. I would like to thank the staff for making me feel so welcomed and I look forward to moving my mother in real soon.
