My aunt was at Columbia Cottage Hershey, which was an acute care community, and was top of the line. It was fantastic and the staff was really nice. The setting and facilities are really well done; they're one of the best in the area. It's an odd-shaped building, but there were facilities around it. I liked the size of the rooms, there were bathing facilities in each room, there was a dining area, and activities area. They have a hair salon there, and even the personnel there were really nice when I was there. I was in the dining room when they were serving meals to my aunt and it looked like it was restaurant quality.

My mom is living in Columbia Cottage Hershey, and it is wonderful and perfect. I love the staff; they're very caring. There are a lot of activities like Bingo, getting their nails done, and exercising. The rooms are adequate.

I am very happy my dad agreed to Columbia Cottage. He was accepted while he was still basically independent, but the manager promised that increased attention would be provided as he declined, as was anticipated. He received excellent care as he deteriorated, and I was surprised how attentive the staff was as he became increasingly difficult.

We are eternally grateful for the kind and professional care which my mother received for the past 3+ years while at Columbia Cottage Hershey. The care given here was of the highest quality and the programs and food were perfectly designed and delivered for the precise needs of the residents. The leadership is outstanding, including the main office personnel who visit frequently, and we believe the Managing Director sets the marvelous tone for the caring attitude that is displayed by every single one of the staff. We never saw even a single deviation from that caring attitude and professionalism.
We will happily endorse Columbia Cottage Hershey to all our associates and friends as the best assisted living facility we have ever encountered. It is easy and a natural joy to speak so highly of such excellence.

I visited this facility
Columbia Cottage seemed a fine facility, but it’s just a matter of what we can afford and what we can't. The one who gave us the tour was very knowledgeable. We saw one room and it was very nice. The room is very spacious. From my memory, the dining room was nicely laid out. I think they need to have more activities for the people. They need a television room or activity room.

Our mother’s last 2 ½ years were so much better because of each and every one of the staff, from housekeeping, to food services, to all involved with her medicines and medical needs. We are proud to sing the praises of Columbia Cottage to everyone we know. Up until the last few months, mom loved to crochet. I hope you will find pleasure in some of her handy work. We will miss our visits to Columbia Cottage. Thanks to all of you, we had mom 2 ½ years longer than we expected to. A sincere thanks from our family.

The first thing you'd probably notice about the place was that it was decorated with a country feel. It did not have a nursing home feel to it. There was carpet, not linoleum. They even had rocking chairs on the porch. That was a nice touch. There weren't people in wheelchairs sitting in the hallways moaning and talking to themselves like in a nursing home. Mealtime was served in a dining room, not in their rooms. They had assistants who would come to her room every night to make sure that she took her pills and to help her with anything that she needed. They also did their laundry for them. That was probably the only complaint. There were times when they didn't return some of her items or returned something to her that wasn't hers. Around holidays (even Valentines Day) they had family parties. The residents could invite family members. It always made my grandma so happy when we came to those functions. It was sad to see the people though who didn't have family members show up. I believe they also had activities for the residents although I don't believe my grandma ever participated in those. My grandma always said the food was pretty good there. The food we ate at the parties was pretty good too. It's in a good location, easy to get to, and not in a noisy area. My family felt very comfortable having my grandma there.

They make it their home, with very comfortable sitting areas and a good staff. Plenty of activities for residents and different events they host.
