At Columbia Cottage Assisted Living, we offer a comprehensive 10-level care system designed to provide the right amount of support for each resident’s individual needs. Prior to admission, our dedicated nursing team completes a thorough assessment to determine the appropriate level of care, ensuring a smooth transition into our community with personalized support from the very beginning. Following this assessment, we develop a person-centered support plan tailored to each resident’s unique needs, preferences, and goals, helping to promote independence, dignity, and quality of life. To ensure care remains appropriate and responsive, we also conduct reassessments on a quarterly basis, as well as whenever there is a significant change in a resident’s condition. This ongoing review process allows us to thoughtfully adjust care plans as needed, ensuring each resident continues to receive the right level of support at every stage of their journey.
