The Cottage Painesville, LLC

My sister is at The Cottage Painesville, LLC. It's an old cottage, but it's well-maintained and it's a home-like atmosphere. There are only about 12 residents, so it makes it more personable. The aid workers there are very knowledgeable, very kind, and willing to help. There's a television in their rooms or the living room area. There's a small library, an outdoor patio with umbrella-like tables, and they can do crafts. There's a small garden that they can work in with vegetables. They're pretty much able to leave the facility to visit loved ones or friends any time they want. They arranged for doctors to come in-house to do their checkups. They cook very good with homestyle meals. However, they will assist you if you have special food needs. They help dress you and help you in the shower and the toilet, and things whenever necessary. I viewed other places, and this one is much more on board with helping and assisting you with your needs. The overall social environment is very strong. They also have everything they need there. It's probably good value.

The Cottage Painesville was very homey, very personal, and very quaint. The owners were very nice and accommodating. It's not like those big places that are only out for your money. The price is very reasonable. They're running it like a home, not a business like these bigger places, and they were not pushy at all like the other people were. They have a small library, they have activities, and they have a very nice fenced-in yard that has a nice patio and you can have cookouts with your family. You can sit in their living area, no TV, just a fireplace if you want to read. They accommodate your meals because they're a smaller facility. There are only like 12 people there, so they don't cook all the same food that you see at the nursing home. They have somebody that will come in and cut your hair, color your hair, and paint your nails. They have a lot of services. They have a bus that takes you to a senior center. They have a lot of staff, and the price is well worth it.

Starkey Place was very homey and very clean; it reminds you of a little bread cottage. The staff has been wonderful, they were very welcoming and caring. It’s a small community; I think only 10 people are there. They have absolutely wonderful food; they make all of their food every day.
