Our mom was there and the staff was wonderful! They were caring, and willing to really spend time with the residents. The staff works very hard- it is not an easy job caring for dementia patients- as a nurse, I am very aware of how hard it is. Kudos to the management team as well!

My mother in law was here in the memory care cottage. We loved the care and attention given to each individual at ElderCare Cottages. Plenty of activities that everyone that can, is encouraged to participate in. Whenever there was an issue, they communicated with us right away. When she passed away recently, staff came in late at night to be with us and they had a hospice nurse that sat with her in a private room while they waited for us to arrive and until she was taken by the funeral home. They were very caring and understanding throughout her time there. This place was much better than any other assisted living/memory care facilities she was at.
The loving caregivers became family as we cared for Mom in her final days with dementia. I love the cozy, small cottages and we got to know those who lovingly took care of Mom. I love these people ❤️
My brother has become a recent resident of Elder Care Cottages in Waterford. About 10 months ago my brother literally ended up homeless. During that time he ended up at the Salvation Army and then was taken by ambulance to the hospital for a medical emergency. During that time the Salvation Army threw out all his belongings including his eye glasses AND wallet with all his personal forms of identification. Totally inexcusable if you ask me. After being discharged from the hospital he was placed in Aria Nursing Home in Waukesha for some recovery. I looked forward to the day he would leave that poor excuse for a nursing home as the level of care was akin to being homeless. Fortunately he was placed at Elder Care Cottages and he has recovered nicely. Warm bed to sleep in, three meals a day, medical care, numerous activities he has learned to partake in. Without Elder Care Cottages we are convinced he would be living under a bridge somewhere. It may not be what everyone in this world would want for themselves, but we know he is safe and taken care of.
Elder Care Cottages has allowed my mother to be the very best she can be in this season of her life. The day-to-day caregivers are dedicated, hardworking, sensitive and willing to adapt to the individual needs of their residents. It wasn’t easy to find a facility that accepted Family Care Medicaid funding without first being private pay for years. Another feature that was not available at other facilities was the secure locked buildings. This works both ways, to keep residents safe from wandering and for staff to be aware of who is visiting. We always feel welcome. It is truly a home for the residents and families as well. The residents’ rooms are bright and clean and can be decorated to suit each person. The new Community Room was wonderful for our family to use recently to celebrate a birthday without having to take Mom somewhere that would not be familiar to her. We were able to use the kitchen and bring in our own homemade food. There were tables and chairs in a beautiful, comfortable setting. Even a big screen TV that we could play music on! This room is also used for music programs and other special occasion group activities that the dedicated activity director organizes. My father lives across the driveway in the Fields of Waterford independent apartments and this makes it very safe and convenient for him to visit Mom. The residents of the apartments are also invited for special programs. My parents enjoy these very much and it gives them a place to participate in an activity together. I would highly recommend Elder Care Cottages for assisted living and memory care needs.
