The Memory Care Residences at Cottage Grove

The Memory Care Residences at Cottage Grove is a spirited assisted living community in North Chili, New York. It is within bright and cheery Monroe County which is part of the Empire State.

We provide a loving and joyful environment where Elders are cared for as family and can experience wellbeing while living life to its fullest. We believe it is our obligation to accommodate the health and personal care needs of our Elders and equally important to nurture their human spirit. Through our mindful and compassionate approach, we inspire our residents to live a happy and dignified life.

Elders residing within our 4 assisted living homes at Cottage Grove are accepted and loved as “family.” We celebrate each Elder’s unique history and emphasize their gifts. Our mission is  to assure that each Elder feels a sense of belonging and experiences love, growth and fulfillment.

We care for persons living with memory loss at varying stages. While we accommodate needs associated with dementia, we focus on each individual’s strengths and develop wellness plans that address personal care needs but also nurture the human spirit.

As an Eden Alternative community, we strive to offer our Elders a way of life that is engaging and meaningful.  It is our goal to alleviate loneliness through genuine relationships, eliminate helplessness through useful roles and reduce boredom by encouraging variety and spontaneity within our homes. 

We recognize that many forms of dementia are progressive. It is our goal to meet the needs of each Elder within our family when possible.

Enhanced memory care is offered in Alice’s House at Cottage Grove for Elders needing more support and assistance.

Enhanced care is exactly that – an enhanced level of care within our Assisted Living Residence. Elders are able to “age in place” and avoid expensive medical care provided in a nursing home.

At Cottage Grove, our Elders become part of an Eden family where their needs are accommodated and their quality of life and dignity are preserves.

We provide Enhanced Care to Elders living with advanced dementia within our Memory Care Residence for the Elders who do not have a cognitive impairment but require assistance with mobility and personal care.

We firmly believe that it is our  obligation to, not only, care for the health and personal care needs of our Elders but equally important, it is our mission to make their lives meaningful and fulfilling.  We work tirelessly to nurture the human spirit and alleviate the plagues of loneliness, helplessness and boredom.

At each of our three Eden Alternative residences, we offer leisure activities tailored to the unique needs and preferences of each Eden family. A primary goal is to foster meaningful relationships and create a shared experience of joy.

Elders may assist with the care of our pets or may participate in helpful roles within the household. Some enjoy working in our gardens and others take pride in giving the  blessing at meals.  These “family roles” provide purpose and alleviate the feelings of helplessness.

Our Enrichment Guides plan a daily calendar of activities focused on nurturing physical, social and spiritual well-being. Our chaplain offers 1:1 pastoral visits as well as worship services at the Homestead and Cottage Grove.
