Cottage Grove Place is a wonderful community. The staff is always friendly, polite, and helpful. The housing is clean and kept up to date with wonderful options to help you feel at home. The food is excellent with lots of different options and the having their grill plus dining room is so convenient. The activities and fun events make for a welcoming environment to meet new people. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a great place to live!

After a very difficult experience with another memory care facility, my family found ourselves needing to move my mom into a new community on fairly short notice. We were overwhelmed, exhausted, and worried about finding the right place for her. From the moment we contacted Cottage Grove Place, the staff treated us with kindness, compassion, and professionalism. They understood the urgency of our situation and went above and beyond to help facilitate a smooth and timely transition for my mom. Their willingness to work with us every step of the way made an incredibly stressful situation so much more manageable. What has impressed us most is the attentiveness of the caregivers and staff. They genuinely care about the residents and take the time to get to know them as individuals. My mom has been treated with dignity, respect, and patience, which has given our family tremendous peace of mind. The entire team has been responsive, organized, and supportive throughout the process. After our previous experience, we were understandably cautious, but Cottage Grove Place has restored our confidence and trust in memory care. We are deeply grateful for the exceptional care, kindness, and professionalism they have shown our family. I would highly recommend Cottage Grove Place to anyone seeking memory care for a loved one.

In late January, I spent 8 days in St. Luke's. I knew I was going to need short-term rehab and regular doctor visits following discharge. The discharge planner at St. Luke's gave me a list of 10 or 15 rehab facilities they routinely use. One facility was Cottage Grove Place (CGP). Google said it was only 1.5 miles up 1st Ave and had a rating of 4.7 stars. I'm so grateful that they had an opening and that I was accepted! The hand off between St. Luke's and the rehab unit was perfect! The nursing and personal care staff were wonderful - competent and caring - ditto for the therapy staff. The food and food service, med management and housekeeping staff - all top of the line. After a couple of weeks it was time for me to move toward independence. I was going to need ongoing physical and occupational therapy and wound care. Fortunately, CGP happened to have an apartment that we could rent on a short-term basis. The therapy staff came over to independent living and continued providing services. The transition from rehab to the apartment was well coordinated; nothing fell through the cracks. My wound is now healed, I'm walking without assistance and I've regained strength. We plan to return home, sell our place and move back here becoming permanent Cottage Grove Place residents. It's the right time for us; and CGP is the right place.

There is a magic in this place. I had a lucky moment in life, when I was fortunate enough to be able to experience this magic. It changed me. Made me want to do better, be better. This magic is now a part of me. Guides me in everything I do. I am grateful beyond measure.

It was following my husband’s stroke in 2009 that we chose Cottage Grove Place for retirement living. Among the many appealing features were the wide range of floor plans, dining options, maintenance-free living, local transportation, healthcare facilities, activities, and most important of all - LifeCare security. Dean recovered from his stroke, and spent more than 10 enjoyable years in independent living before his health began to decline. He moved to skilled nursing, assisted living, and finally long term care, while I stayed in our apartment, all on the campus of Cottage Grove Place. I, as well as my three children, have been most grateful for the excellent care and support offered here at Cottage Grove Place during COVID-19, the derecho in August, and Dean’s last days. It has been the best!

What a Delightful Day at Cottage Grove Place! Today I had the honor of being invited to Cottage Grove Place to participate in a panel”and I’m so glad I was invited! I learned so much about the community that I didn’t know before. There are so many wonderful features and benefits that I think people often overlook. One thing that truly stood out to me was how happy everyone seemed”both the residents and the staff. There’s a genuine sense of warmth and community, and the people who work there are absolutely delightful. As a bonus, I was treated to lunch, and let me just say: the creamy pesto chicken pasta was absolutely delicious! If you’re considering a move to a senior living community, I definitely recommend putting Cottage Grove Place on your list. It has so much to offer, and I came away truly impressed.

I have had the pleasure of visiting Cottage Grove Place hundreds of times over the past 8 years, and I must say, it exceeded all of my expectations. From the moment I walked through the doors, it was evident that this community is not just a place to live”it's a place to thrive. The staff at Cottage Grove Place are truly exceptional. They go above and beyond in every way to ensure that the residents feel comfortable, cared for, and valued. Whether it’s the friendly greetings, the attentive care, or the genuine smiles, you can tell that the staff here really care about each and every resident. It's not just a job for them; it’s a calling. The facilities are top-notch, offering a wide range of activities and amenities that cater to all interests and needs. Whether it's joining a fitness class, attending a social event, or simply enjoying the beautifully landscaped grounds, there's something for everyone here. The community has a warm and welcoming atmosphere that makes it easy to make friends and feel at home. One of the things that really stood out to me was the emphasis on personalized care. The staff take the time to get to know each resident, their preferences, and their needs. This individualized attention ensures that everyone receives the care and support they need, while still maintaining their independence and dignity. I also appreciate how the community fosters a sense of belonging and inclusion. There’s a strong focus on creating a family-like environment where residents feel connected and supported, both by the staff and by each other. It’s clear that Cottage Grove Place is committed to providing not just a place to live, but a place to enjoy life to the fullest. In short, Cottage Grove Place is a wonderful community where residents are truly cared for. If you’re looking for a place where your loved ones will be treated with the utmost respect and compassion, I highly recommend considering this community. It’s a place where care meets compassion, and where residents are treated like family.

Led a group of 7 string quartet members from the Cedar Rapids Community Orchestra to share a few baroque and many more patriotic music selections for an hour of lively entertainment. What a joy to hear so many well tuned voices in response to our music! We shared Sedlacek Hall with them and the decor/acoustics were both just perfect. Gracious thanks to Kirsten and her team in coordinating the event and turnout for us. Looking forward to visiting again!

My mother in law lived at Cottage Grove Place in skilled care, Assisted Living Plus, and the health center. Staff everywhere were professional, patient, and kind as her dementia progressed, even when she was difficult to deal with. Many staff members have worked there for several years, which speaks to the friendly, caring environment at CGP. I would highly recommend Cottage Grove to anyone seeking professional, compassionate care for themselves or a family member.

I moved back to cedar Rapids from California and into Cottage Grove Place 6 years ago so I could be close to my family. It was a great decision. CPG is the best deal in town, especially with LifeCare--meaning I don't have to leave my friends--just move within the community to a different level of care. And my kids didn't have to take care of me after recent surgery. The staff here are helpful and caring. I'm very happy to be living at Cottage Grove Place.

My husband and I moved to Cottage Grove Place (CGP) six years ago. As we were in our late sixties at the time, our children’s first reaction was surprise, commenting that we were too young. But we have always been long-term planners, and we were ready to shed the tasks of maintaining our large home. Moreover, we wanted to mitigate the financial risks of long-term care, and CGP (alone in Cedar Rapids) offers lifecare. After payment of an entrance fee (much of which was deductible as prepaid long term care), we are now assured that any future care we may require (assisted living, skilled nursing, or memory care) will be available to us at just a minimal increase in cost each month right here in a highly-rated Medicare community. With the security that comes with this guarantee, we rest easy about whatever care needs may arise in the future. In the meantime, we are enjoying living independently (free to travel, socialize with friends, volunteer) in a community that offers security, stimulating activities, housekeeping services, meals, etc. There is even transportation at no added cost to church services, doctor’s and other appointments, entertainment events, etc. For so many people, growing older and aging in place means isolation and increasing loneliness. Here we are part of a supportive, even loving, community. The employees here are friends in so many ways. We know we have freed our children from the burden of caring for us or frantically searching for and settling for whatever care center has space available should the need arise at some future date. My husband and I and our two dogs are truly living a good life here at Cottage Grove Place. Terry Boyden

We came to Cottage Grove Place to live where we can have a full continuum of care from Independent Living to a Health Center and Memory Unit. There are many pluses, too many to put into a short review, and we have found this to be a wonderful home to replace our home. All of the benefits and only a few of the responsibilities that we have learned to enjoy. Fine accommodations, excellent food, sensational friends (mostly new, but some old ones, too), The LifeCare package gives peace of mind to anyone that takes advantage of its wide spectrum of benefits. We have been here for three and a half years and can't wait for the sun to come up and start another new day at Cottage Grove Place. Oh yes, and I am a second generation resident of this "home away from home". My parents lived here.

My parents lived in Cottage Grove Place independent living happily for years. However, once moved to long term care, things deteriorated. Most seriously, my mother has received incorrect medications on THREE separate occassions. Luckily she was coherent and realized she had been given the wrong cup of pills the first two times. Today she was given,and took, someone elses meds. Needless to say, this will be reported to the IDPH. 6/25/2022

My wife and I moved into Cottage Grove Place about 4 1/2 years ago today and have enjoyed every day of carefree independent living since. We chose Cottage Grove Place over other independent living choices due to the Life Care coverage, which we don't necessarily need now, but you never know what the future may bring. With the recent Derecho event in Cedar Rapids there was considerable damage to the 3rd floor apartments of the Commons Building in which we had an apartment. All residents of the 3rd floor were moved to other apartments in the complex (a new building had recently opened with many apartments available) while water damage repairs are being made to virtually all ceilings and some walls. We were very fortunate that we could move to a "new" apartment with the same floor plan but on the first floor. Cottage Grove staff and "Caring Transitions" did the pack-up and heavy lifting of our furniture and belongings to the "new" apartment. We have the option to move back to the original apartment when repairs are completed or to stay in the "new" apartment. We will stay in the new apartment which has some advantages to the "old" in that it is on the first floor and this provides much easier access to the outdoors when walking our two small dogs. Despite incredible challenges during this storm recovery period, some 35 residents and all their belongings were relocated in just over a week!. While this was an unplanned move for us, it happened in a safe and timely manner with minimal effort on our part and no additional expense to date. Our old neighborhood suffered considerable damage from the storm, with many trees down/damaged and some structural damage to homes. We were glad not to be faced with the expense and the effort of finding and scheduling reputable contractors in a timely fashion, We are in Independent Living and are free to come and go as if we were in our old home (this is our HOME now). In this age of COVID there are common sense rules in place regarding wearing of masks and social distancing with some restrictions on visitors, but this is for the safety of the community in general - most people willingly comply with the guidelines. Stricter rules are in place for the Assisted Living and Health Center areas of the complex for the overall safety of the entire population. My wife is a knitter and spends time knitting sweaters, hats, and such when not reading and participating in volunteer work outside of the Cottage Grove Community. There are several groups of people that gather for knitting or card playing, or reading. I spend considerable time in the Cottage Grove Place Resident's Wood Shop. This is a very well equipped shop with virtually all of the tools (large and small) donated by past/present (and presumably future) residents who enjoy woodworking. We make everything from gift items for sale in the "Corner Store" to furniture items for ourselves and other residents, to making repairs/modifications to resident's furniture to better suit their needs. The shop is self managed by the residents who use it. With a variety of skill levels, it is interesting for us to see and learn new techniques to accomplish the same end solution/goal. My wife and I are both thriving in a true "Community" along with retirees from virtually all occupations (engineers, lawyers, farmers, doctors, teachers, accountants, and you name it). COVID has curtailed the larger group activities, but smaller groups are still able to gather, socially distanced and masked, to play cribbage and other card games. We have a billiards room with three tables that draw the pool players for friendly competitions. We all look forward to returning to outside activities once the virus is controlled/a vaccine becomes available, but in the meantime there is no lack of things to do. In summary, we live in a safe and diverse community where most of the old responsibilities of home ownership are gone, leaving us free to pursue our interests with the support of our new-found friends.

I've lived at Cottage Grove Place since May of 2013. I have never regretted my decision to move here. The staff is excellent and attendant to the needs of all residents. One can always find an activity to participate in ....or a resident with whom to share a cup of cofee. And during the COVID pandemic and the derecho the staff remained calm and composed and successfully saw to it that residents remained safe. The tax benefits of living in a continuing care community -- a definite plus. In summary, without reservation I can recommend Cottage Grove Place. Moving here ranks among one of the best decisions I've made in my life.

COTTAGE GROVE PLACE SOLVED ALL MY PROBLEMS I first learned about the Life-Care retirement concept in 2008. After that I knew I would only live in a Life-Care retirement community. For the past 20 years I had been living in Ft. Myers, Florida. So I carefully researched both life-care communities in that area. Each community had advantages and disadvantages. But each had a disadvantage that I did not think I could live with. One community had no covered parking much less parking convenient and close to your apartment. Florida summer heat, sun, and salt-laden air would quickly damage a vehicle that was not garaged. The other community provided hurricane shelter for residents and their pets in a four-story parking garage that would be enclosed by metal panels when a hurricane warning was issued. Only cots would be provided. Residents must bring linens, food, water, and all other supplies needed to live for several days for themselves and their pets. My son, my only child, has lived in Cedar Rapids for 34 years. He knew the dilemma I faced. He called and suggested I check out retirement communities in Cedar Rapids and sent links to several web sites. When I saw one, Cottage Grove Place, was a life-care community, I made plane reservations to fly to Cedar Rapids. With my son, daughter-in-law, and granddaughter, I met with the Marketing staff, toured the complex, tentatively selected an apartment, reviewed the contract, and enjoyed dinner in the main dining that evening with my family. A couple of residents even stopped by our table to inquire if I was moving into Cottage Grove Place. They told me how much they enjoyed life at Cottage Grove Place. On the plane the next day I carefully read the contract and other documents I had received from Marketing. That evening I compared the contracts for all three communities that I had toured. Satisfied that I was making a well-informed decision, I called Cottage Grove Place the next morning to find out the exact amount of the deposit check to accompany the signed contract which I was mailing that day. Cottage Grove Place had solved my dilemma. Resident parking is in an underground, temperature controlled garage. My space is directly below my first-floor apartment which is next to the stairwell. (You could say I have an attached garage.) In the event of a tornado or severe storm warning, residents shelter in the garage, tunnel, or apartment bathroom with the door closed. Yes, there were some surprises after I moved in--all of them good. Most notable were: Learning that a portion of the entry fee and monthly fee are tax deductible as prepaid long term care insurance; seven days of arranged dinner dates with CGP residents; the life line and other security checks; the swift response to a fall or medical concern; and the friendly attitude of all the staff from the Director on down. Certainly Cottage Grove Place has solved all my problems and concerns for the future. Now, fast forward almost 10 years. The earth is in the waning months of the Carova-19 pandemic. I have moved to the beautiful new assisted living wing. Hopefully the vaccine will be administered here in early spring to our residents and life will return to our programs, card games, Bingo, reading groups, exercise programs, College at the Grove, musical programs, movies, interest groups, special events and on and on. Soon this awful year will just be a memory. And we all will return to our busy calendar of events. Vee Gee McCort Resident since August 15, 2011

My 90-year-old uncle living in a Long Term Care facility (in Arizona) completely shocked me when he said yes to moving to Iowa to be closer to family! I was so excited at the prospect of having him in town but also very overwhelmed with the process of getting him home. I had no idea how to transport my uncle across the country or where he would live. I contacted Cottage Grove Place to see if they had a room, which they did. Jessica-Leigh, with CGP, was FANTASTIC to work with. She recommended that I contact Flying Angels (for medical transportation) and Caring Transitions (to move personal belongings). Jessica-Leigh continued communicating with both companies, the other facility in Arizona, and me to ensure we were all on the same page regarding my uncle’s care. When my uncle arrived, his comment was "I am so glad to be here. Thank you, Jessica-Leigh and team at Cottage Grove Place, for all you did! You are a true blessing!

My first connection with Cottage Grove Place was in 1996 when it first opened. My mother moved in at the time of the opening. The thorough, caring attention she received during her life at Cottage Grove from the staff was impressive to my family and myself. Thus I came to an easy conclusion that I would follow in her footsteps at a future time, and I have never regretted my decision. I have found a wonderful home here due to the efforts of the excellent staff in all departments. All amenities meet my needs, and the activities offered, cover interests in many areas. Making the decision to enter here relieved my family of many responsibilities they might have had to proceed for me. The decision was a relief for them, and my family has expressed definite satisfaction with my life here. They are able to witness how happy I am. And finally, the atmosphere offers a "homey" feeling due to the caring attitude of the staff and residents toward one another. What could be better?

We are pleased and happy to be a part of the Cottage Grove Community. The staff is excellent in being friendly, helpful, desiring to know us and become a part of our lives. The meals are very good and offer a nice variety of menu items. It is wonderful to have The Grille which is available for any food alternative and a great place to gather and socialize. The facilities are wonderful. It feels like home which is one reason we became residents here. We know this is the place we will be as long as we are alive which enables us to be safe and at peace. Our sons are very grateful for this safe place for their parents. Cottage Grove Place is the "place" for us. We are well taken care of here and also very happy. It is top notch!

After living in Colorado for 56 years, it was time to downsize and move out of my large home and closer to my roots. It was one of the most difficult decisions and processes of my life. The process took several years for me and my significant other to think about, discuss and visit in person. After about a dozen facility visits in Iowa communities, we found Cottage Grove Place in Cedar Rapids. It felt "right" for us, plus many family members live nearby. A common expression among seniors is "we're just not quite ready", which we can relate to. After living here for a year, in retrospect, I am glad we didn't postpone the process any longer. We plan to participate more in the variety of things to do here, while maintaining our individuality and privacy. Although a difficult decision and process, we feel confident it was necessary and worth the effort. We both agonized over giving up so many "things" with many memories attached, to a different community and lifestyle. Purging is not easy; nor is leaving the familiarity of home, neighborhood, community, church, friends and much accumulated "stuff". A period of grieving is to be expected, but we are both grateful we chose Cottage Grove Place, where the staff is dedicated and committed to helping us look positively forward to a new way of life. Plus, Coping with Covid-19 and the Derecho has been much more tolerable here.

When my husband Neil and I decided we were going to need some help. We came to COTTAGE GROVE PLACE. and immediately fell in love with this place. Neil had Parkinson's Disease. He was with me for a year and four months before he needed more care. so he went to the care center, where he got very good care. He was there for five and a half years before he passed away. Now I am especially happy I am here. I don't have to spend all my time alone in a lonely home without him. I have many friends here to be with. And I have made friends with a special person I spend most of my time with.
