Well Sue our new Activities Director has come onboard with a blast. Sue is just what we needed she is full of joy, and it spills over to the residences. She is always trying to get everyone involved in the activities and to make sure that they are fun for all. Most of the time you will see Sue come through the door first every day of the work week. Sue is always helping out at mealtime making sure everyone has everything they need. Once again, I want to welcome Sue onboard and say thanks for everything she does.

This facility is so clean and welcoming. My husband was there for 3 months and received excellent care from Melissa Zegers, Mary Mausbach and Amber Wilson. They always made sure he was clean and comfortable. They treated him like family. We appreciated the help and care when we needed it the most. Great place to have your loved one live.

Visited Cottonwood recently. Tammy Barker gave my mom and I a tour. She took the time to get to know my mom and make her fill comfortable during our visit. Studio rooms are nice. Received a lot of information to take home and review. Thanks for taking the time on a Sunday to give the tour.

I've visited Cottonwood on a number of occasions. I'm always greeted when I step in the front door with a smile. The facility is pleasantly decorated and clean. While in the halls if I see a staff they always have a smile and a "hello"

Our dad lives here and he loves it and so do we!! The staff is very attentive and always respond quickly to his call light with care and dignity and professionalism! It is always very clean everywhere. He loves the food and the service. In addition the staff are joyful and seem happy to be there, and we always see the same faces which is important to him because they know him well. His room has enough space for his stuff and has a huge walk in closet, he is very comfortable in his room. The administration is very good at communicating with us about any of his physical, or medical needs. We would highly recommend Cottonwood for anyone needing excellent assisted living care in Columbus!

My brother and I were lucky enough to be able to place my mother here after a terminal diagnosis and a nightmare experience at another "nursing home". Cottonwood Place is a home that allows people to age (and yes, die) with dignity. The people living there range from those needing assisted living to skilled nursing to hospice. The management and staff is incredibly caring. While the apartments are small, they are also bright, clean, and comfortable. The shared areas are well thought out and beautiful. This is a home for you or your loved one. Cottonwood Place is even welcoming to a tenant's family and guests. My husband and I both hope that we can find a place like this when we need the type of service Cottonwood Place provides.
