White Pine Advanced Assisted Living of Cottage Grove

My cousin lives in White Pine Advanced Assisted Living of Cottage Grove. I go there and visit her once in a while. I like it, however, I would have to get used to being confined. The people are very nice. Anytime I've been there, there's always somebody in the lobby. If I take her here or there they say, "Oh, you have a nice day!" They check on her also, and I've been in her room when they've come. They're very helpful. They're just wonderful. She had a couple of falls, and she was well taken care of there. My cousin's room is small. She has her kitchen and bathroom. Nothing big. However, I don't care about the living room. It's kind of a big room, and her bed, dresser, and kitchen table with two chairs are in the room. I'm not used to being in such a small place, and I think it would bother me. The place is very nice, though. My cousin says the food is good. Her daughter takes her grocery shopping, and she can make stuff there, too. She has a washer and dryer in her place, which is a plus, too. It's small, but it has what you need. My cousin likes going to church on Sunday, and she likes the minister, so they have that for activities. However, I really don't know what else they have. I think the value for the money is pretty reasonable.

Giving information to others

Memory Care building.Do not send family members to ths place, unless you plan on being there yourself and doing the things they should be doing. They ignore the residents. A lot of the workers they have on staff are not there for the right reasons. They take breaks all at the same time,leaving residents alone for a long time. Even during meal time. Some residents are treated as favorites which leaves the others without much care at all. Witnessed one resident trying to eat and could not but rarely recieved help during my daily visits. This place is clean and the food is fairly good, wihich is the only positive thing I can say.

The services of White Pine Senior Living are incredible. The people are friendly, and the facility is clean. It is a brand new building, and my mother-in-law likes it there.

Location, availability, and cost are the reasons why I chose White Pine Senior Living. According to my father, the food is good. I think the place is nice and clean compared to some of the others than I've been into. The facility is well maintained. It's a smaller facility and I liked that too, but I think they are understaffed. He has an apartment and he thinks the room is too big. I like that they raise the height of the refrigerators because residents who are in their wheelchairs can easily get food from the refrigerator. They also have their own washer and dryer inside the apartment. They had field trips. They also have exercise classes, movie nights, and they have outside entertainment come in.

I visited White Pine Senior Living once. It was clean and did not smell of anything. They had two apartments available at that time but I was not able to participate in the 30-day trial. The dining room was quite big but I was not able to try their food. I thought they could use more help. It was a nice place and I would recommend it, but i was not yet ready to move in because I was independent.
