Lawrenceburg, TN - Assisted Living

Community size: Large (26-100)

Country Cottage - Lawrenceburg is a charming assisted living community in Lawrenceburg, Tennessee. It is within bright and cheery Lawrence County which is part of the Volunteer State.

At The Cottage, you’ll find a cozy, Southern community that offers both physical support and a welcoming and active environment for your loved one. With regular opportunities to challenge the mind and nurture the heart, our mission is to offer our residents the ability to achieve their desired quality of life.

Assisted Living is often viewed as the best of both worlds. Residents have as much independence as they want with the knowledge that personal care and support services are available if they need them. Assisted Living communities are designed to provide residents with assistance with basic ADL’s (activities of daily living) such as bathing, grooming, dressing, and more.

The Cottage offers a unique assisted living community for seniors who need help with these daily tasks, all in the comfort of a private, homelike apartment. At the Cottage, the small size and cozy design of our buildings, the intense emphasis on our CareSteps individualized care program, the careful selection and training of management and homemaker staff, and an ongoing desire for resident and family feedback are key to achieving our mission: to help our residents maintain their independence, dignity and choice!

Our dedicated caregiver staff provides attention and assistance as needed to residents, 24-hours a day. In addition, residents enjoy three delicious home-style meals, planned on- and off-site recreation, weekly housekeeping and daily tidy up, personal laundry service, our MedAssure medication assistance program, and so much more. We make daily life easier for our residents by offering the desired services and individualized care they need.

At the Cottage, we know that home is more than just a place to live—it’s a feeling of warmth and comfort. That’s why the Cottage designed its community around the premise of cozy common areas for friends to gather and a family-style dining room to enjoy during meal times. With different sizes and styles of apartments and the customized CareSteps service program that’s tailored to suit the needs of each resident, the Cottage is a unique assisted living community that offers the attention, care, and home-like environment your loved one deserves. Whether with a little assistance or a great deal of hands-on-care, we can help.

Our private apartment comes equipped with a private bathroom, spacious closet and emergency alert system. Each apartment is also cable TV and telephone ready. At your convenience, we are happy to set up a time to tour one of our cozy Cottage apartments and discuss how the Cottage can help your family.

It takes a very large heart with a great deal of compassion and patience to serve people suffering from dementia with the care they deserve. At The Cottages, we have many of those incredible hearts. Our staff’s average tenure is three years. When compared to the annual turnover rate for nurses in long-term care which is about 70%, and two out of three long-term care workers leave their jobs in a year, our staff is committed to the care of Alzheimer’s and dementia residents. No wonder residents who have had difficulty in other specialty care residences do so well at The Cottages.

Although research supports the idea that people suffering from Alzheimer’s or other dementia benefit from being around other people, research also strongly shows that too much of a good thing, especially other people with needs, is upsetting and frightening for folks with dementia. With the guarantee that only 15 other people will ever be neighbors, residents enjoy just the right amount of companionship to meet each of their needs to stay involved and connected.

Advice from such noted consumer and research organizations such as the Alzheimer’s Association, Alzheimer’s Foundation and Caregivers Foundation strongly recommend the Keep It Simple approach to dementia care. Because all paths at The Cottage lead directly to our warm, cozy living room and the neighboring courtyard, residents learn their way around quickly, with our help. The confidence that comes from this knowledge is priceless.

The longest distance a resident travels from a bed-sitting room to the living room is 29 steps. Like the simplicity of the building, this modest distance encourages residents to stay physically active, which in turn helps with minimizing the agitation, sun downing and other distressing symptoms of dementia.
