What Is Cottage-Style Memory Care?
Many families hesitate when considering memory care, fearing that their loved one will feel lost in a large, impersonal facility. Cottage-style memory care is a different approach. Instead of long hallways and dozens of residents, Maple Cottage Memory Care offers an intimate residence with just seventeen private suites, comfortable common areas and familiar routines.
One family wrote in a Google review that they love that Maple Cottage is small and that all of the rooms open into a common area. That layout makes it easier for caregivers to keep an eye on everyone’s safety and to provide individualized care.

Participation is always by choice. Residents who prefer a quiet moment with a favorite TV show, knitting or a jigsaw puzzle are supported just the same.
