The Cottage of Spring Branch

My mom was at The Cottages for 6 months before she passed away last July. We couldn’t have found a better place for her. She had advanced dementia that my father and I had been dealing with for about two years. She was in a wheelchair after breaking bone in her hip. The Cottages became like a second home for all of us. Excellent care 24 hours a day 7 days a week. It was always clean and sanitary, they were always having activities for all the folks there. They also have a beautiful place outside with a pond and lots of flowers and trees. Food was excellent and any help my mom needed they were there for her. My highest recommendation for the Cottages.

This is a unique community with a special mission. The operation is designed to accommodate the needs of residents with different levels of cognitive impairments. Rather than blending them all together, they separate them by acuity and provide them with activities to offer the highest quality of life. Even with the great programs and mission, nothing happens without the incredible staff. From the moment you come in for your first tour, you understand what this community is all about. I feel very comfortable sharing this community with families in need of a caring, loving and understanding environment.

Our time at The Cottage will be forever cherished. The Executive Director worked with us on creating a personalized Care Plan for my father, including a drug reduction program and facility directed rehabilitation. The staff was well trained and able to be very attentive to my father’s unique needs and changing condition. But, more than that, The Cottage staff gave us the gift of recognizing the special qualities in my father’s personality and cognition that still existed. It’s easy to focus on what’s missing, or diminished, when interacting with an elderly loved one with dementia, which can be frustrating, sad and even depressing. The culture of The Cottage is different. They have the remarkable ability to focus on what is still present and engage their residents “right where they are”, with dignity, respect and even admiration. The staff and environment offer many ways for residents to participate, on whatever level is appropriate, as part of a real community. And, very important, my father enjoyed the food! It didn’t take long for him to call it home. What a gift for my father and our family. When evaluating The Cottage of Spring Branch, you should know the building was purchased and renovated in 2018 by Golden Care Cottage Group LLC. It’s now updated and under totally new leadership of [name removed]. Much of the information on 3rd party websites is not current and accurate. As a result, we almost missed out on this gem. I’m glad we did a site visit to meet the staff and see it for ourselves. Thank you for everything!

My husband, who has Alzheimer's, has lived at The Cottage for almost 3 years. They are very attentive to his needs making adjustments as his level of care changes. When he fell and broke his hip, a staff member accompanied him to the hospital. Their going with him allowed me to stay at home so that I would not have to leave my children alone at night. They stayed with him until he was admitted to the hospital at 3 AM. They came again early the next morning to check on him and right after his surgery and again early the next morning. This level of attention away from the facility was above and beyond what I expected. Also the meals are delicious. The accommodations are excellent. Beds and linens are included in the monthly rent. This is a great place!

This is such an amazing facility for my elder mother who has dementia. Not only is the staff super caring and attentive, they go above and beyond to make sure my sweet mother has everything she needs. From company to well prepared meals, even listening to music from her youth to bring back those special memories...it is these little details that makes Golden Care Assisted Living such a star in my book! Great job to all the staff!
