So far this place has worked well and has treated my Grandmother very well. Taylor the Admin Director is also wonderful and took the time to thoroughly answer all the questions my husband and I asked. Day one, my grandmother was happy and that makes all the difference.

I had no idea where and how to start the process of getting my Mom moved from a nursing home in Virginia to Alabama, where I live. I stopped in and talked to Taylor Evans who was in charge of admissions at Cottage of the Shoals. Taylor made it so simple. He took the time to answer all my questions and to take me around to look at the facility. His knowledge of how to get the process going was what moved me to choose Cottage of the Shoals, although I had looked at two other places. Taylor has continued showing attention to details, and making a special effort to communicate with my mother who has dementia. I have been so impressed with the staff who have made an amazing effort to make my Mom feel welcome. Moving her to a new place at 99 years of age has been a challenge, but I can see how she is quickly adapting because of everyone's help and attention.

I have just had to put my father in long term care. It was such a hard and heart wrenching decision. The staff of nurses and aids have been so good to my dad. I know he’s safe and well cared for there. Taylor Evans has been my personal life saver. He has walked me through every step along the way and continues to 24/7. Thank you Taylor, and staff for taking such good care of us. It’s truly a great place.
