Hickory Senior Living

My sister moved in last year. I asked her last week how she liked it. Her answer was “I really like it here. The caregivers are so good to me and I’m getting good care.” That was all I needed to hear. Columbia Cottage is clean, the rooms are large and the staff is loving. I’m thankful my sister is there and more importantly happy!”

My mother absolutely enjoyed living at the cottages but it was the staff she loved so much that made the difference and I appreciated so much the love and care they each showed her from the day she arrived until the day she left for her eternal home they were by her side. I will never forget them and will forever be grateful for The Cottages. ??

My Mom has been a resident at the cottage for 3 years and I can't say enough good things about it. It truly is as close to home and family environment you can find. I definitely recommend if you are looking for a assisted living for your loved one.

I give them 5 stars for the care my loved one has and is receiving. If I ever have a concern, they are very attentive and work with us to resolve any issue.

My Mom has resided st Columbia Cottage for several years, and has loved it. She never complains about anything, and frequently brags on the staff. They are so sweet to her, and she feels like she is part of the "family." And they proactively work with me to find solutions whenever necessary to ensure my Mom continues to love residing there. I highly recommend considering Columbia Cottage for your loved one!

How blessed we've been to happen on this quaint, homey care facility.. it draws you in when you first walk in with its comfy and cozy furnishings.. But what makes The Cottages really stand out are the caring Executive staff and support staff that truly love the residents and are always watching out for there wellbeing.. They are professional, responsive and ready to listen to residents and their families. They have truly been a blessing to our loved one and us.

My Aunt [name removed] loved it there. They do all kinds of outings, music, crafts. The employees at Columbia cottage are wonderful people. They take such good care of all their tenants. I have recommended this place to alot of people with older parents. When you are there you are never lonely. They keep the sweet people that are there busy all the time. This is a wonderful place for Mom or Dad.

The staff was so helpful with transitioning my aunt from rehab to her apartment at the cottages. Everyone was kind and attentive. The food was excellent.

We had a very good experience at Columbia Cottage. Many loving and caring people there. A nice facility. My mother loved everyone.

Mom has been at CC in Florence for 3 1/2 years and loves being there. I do not worry about her since she has been there. The staff and Care Ladies are caring and considerate of older residents.

Having my mom at Columbia Cottage has been life changing for both of us. I have peace that she is loved and well taken care of. My mom has come out of her shell and made friends. She enjoys the activities that the cottage provides. We love the staff that care for her. I feel very blessed that we found Columbia Cottage.

My mom’s experience at Columbia Cottage has been exceptional for many reasons but the relationships she has made and the copious variety of activities offered are top of the list. The staff is fun and positive and she has made friends she loves dearly. From holiday parties, to exercise, crafts and music, the activities are always a celebration and family is included often. So grateful for Columbia Cottage for not only caring for my mom’s personal needs but her social ones as well.

With both parents just coming out of rehabilitation and one of them needing handicap facilities, Columbia Cottage was the answer to their needs. The genuine love, kindness and compassion from the staff was remarkable! Communication about their needs was always a phone call away. Such a blessing when family can’t always be onsite. We are thankful for the 3 years that Columbia Cottage of Florence's staff so graciously cared for our parents! The Simmons Family

Columbia Cottage is an outstanding assisted-living facility. The staff is professional and caring with the residents. I am pleased with the care my mother receives and would highly recommend Columbia Cottage.

My father-in-law moved to the Cottages about a month after his wife of 65 years died. They had moved often so moving was easy for him but he had never moved alone. Everyone, including the other residents gave him the assurance that he would be fine. They encouraged him to attend the scheduled activities and to spend his time in the common areas. He immediately did not feel alone and felt a part of a new kind of family. Cottages continues to make sure that we are adjusting to his new environment as well. The administrators have checked on us and given reports even before and after hours. Whenever we call or visit they take time to answer questions or fill our needs. When we visit all members of the staff call the residents by name and seem very observant of the residents activities. Having the PT & NP visit them in their apartments gives them the privacy they need without leaving their home for appts. It’s been a great experience for all of us.

Helpful, assuring, caring, and responsive are all words I'd use to describe the Cottage staff and management. Thank you all and everyone. Overall a five, maybe a slight improvement could be made in the meals. Thank you again!!!

My mom is really enjoying her first month at the Cottage . Everyone has made her feel at home and she enjoys the activities. [name removed], [name removed] and [name removed] have all be so helpful. The entire staff seems to care about the well being of each person live there.. We are truly relieved that our mom is in good hands, safe and making new friends

From the first time I entered the doors for a tour everyone has been so welcoming and friendly. My mother did not want to leave her house but after many falls and slight dementia she was no longer able to be alone. She has loved living at the cottage and is very content.

3 yrs ago our mom passed away unexpectedly. She was the primary caretaker for our disabled dad. We realized quickly that the 5 of us adult kids couldn’t do all she did for dad. We spent nearly 6 mos searching for the ‘right’ place, looking at every facility between 2 states and 5 counties. The first visit to Columbia Cottage we knew this was it! Since moving there he has THRIVED! His health and mental/emotional state have improved and we’re back to just being his kids. I can’t say enough good things about Columbia Cottage. It has that feel of a southern home with the big covered porch, he loves sitting out there talking with his new friends. It offers privacy with him having his own apartment yet he has access to 24hr/day care and support. Wonderful meals, weekly apartment deep cleaning, on site beauty/barber services and tons of awesome activities are just a few of the great benefits. This place was truly heaven sent for our family. [name removed], [name removed], [name removed]and all staff are amazing!

Our family had an in person tour and it was a great experience the staff were very nice
