Our visit to Chestnut Cottage and Carriage House at The Elms was nice. We got to meet the owner and also the director, I believe, of the facility. They were very informative and they told us about all of their services and everything. The staff was very nice. We saw quite a few of them, because at the time they were playing bingo with the residents, and everybody was very pleasant, and very engaged with the residents that were there. What was nice about it was it was small, so the residents were always visible no matter where you went. You could always see them, especially when they were in the community rooms, so that made it nice. It was cozy there. They have the same amenities as all of them, they provide laundry service, activities during the day, meals, and snacks. They also offer pet therapy, which is nice, and they also take them out on outings twice a week, and then every other Saturday.

I went to Chestnut Cottage and Carriage House at The Elms. I met with the executive director, and he was very knowledgeable and very personable. The place was homey and very comfortable. The biggest issue was there were very few private rooms available, so the question is whether dads gonna be able to get a private room or whether it would have to be semi-private, so that's one issue. They also have a fair amount of up front fees, community fee, and security deposit, so anybody that's not ready to write a $15,000 to $20,000 check right upfront, you're not gonna get in the door. That's a little bit frustrating, but it's a nice place, and I'm still considering it. They have other levels of care in the main house, but not at Chestnut Cottage and Carriage House. The activities were pretty individualized. They've got board games, arts and crafts, music, and field trips. The facility was nice, but it's 12-13 years old, so that's a factor.

Provider Response

As always, we value this feedback. With having two assisted living, memory care communities on our campus, we are usually able to accommodate a preference for either a private or semi-private apartment for new residents. Considering the fact that our monthly memory care rates are all-inclusive of how much care or how much time our staff spends assisting each resident (level of care), and the quality of service we are known for, our fees are highly competitive within our market. We do offer a 30-day Trial Stay with no Community Fee or Security Deposit at the start of residency to help alleviate concerns about upfront expenses. Being privately owned and operated since 1985, we have the well-established stability of staff and the experience of having earned the trust of thousands of residents and their family and friends.

I visited this facility

I visited Chestnut Cottage & Carriage House at around 9:30 in the morning. I thought what was nice was that they had an optional time for breakfast. I also liked the fact that their rooms were furnished. Outdoors, their garden was very small. So, I would say that would be my favorite spot. Evidently, they took the residents on walks and, again, I felt the sidewalks were kind of narrow, and also you always needed someone with you while in the other place, you could be in the garden all by yourself. I thought the place was quite clean. They do not have a neuropsychologist available right. They were looking to replace someone, and that I thought was a disadvantage at that time. You also had to bring your furniture.

Provider Response

We appreciate this positive feedback and wish to clarify a couple points. Chestnut Cottage and Carriage House are both secure, memory care communities and all residents are 100% supervised indoors and outdoors at all times. Unlike a skilled nursing facility, we are an assisted living provider and Residents are free to choose their own outside medical professionals, such as a Neurologist, and we can assist with referrals when desired. For our residents' and families' convenience, we have the support of a visiting Primary Care Physician, Podiatrist, and a newly identified Neurologist. Also, Chestnut Cottage apartments are furnished with a bed, nightstand and lamp, and residents are welcome to personalize with a favorite chair, pictures and wall decor, etc. Carriage House residents move their own furnishings in, so we have both options to suit individual preferences and situations.
