Life at Our Cottage moves at an easy, comfortable pace — much like home. Mornings begin with the smell of breakfast cooking in the kitchen, caregivers chatting softly as they help Residents start the day. Each person has their own routine — some enjoy coffee and conversation early, while others wake slowly and ease into the morning.
Our homes are small and personal, so life never feels scheduled or institutional. The rhythm of the house follows the Residents, not the other way around.
Meals are freshly prepared each day and designed by a geriatric nutritionist to meet the needs of older adults.
We collaborate with families to accommodate preferences, special diets, and favorite comfort foods — because meals are about more than nourishment; they’re moments of joy and connection.
Our Cottage offers the warmth and reassurance of a licensed assisted living community, thoughtfully designed to feel like home rather than a medical facility. Although we do not provide clinical medical treatment or medical advice, Residents are welcome to maintain relationships with their own physicians and healthcare providers. We carefully coordinate with visiting primary care providers, home health agencies, hospice services, therapy professionals, and mobile diagnostic providers to help ensure seamless support. All medical services are provided by licensed third-party professionals.
Our homes maintain a caregiver-to-Resident ratio of 1:8 or higher at all times. As we operate on a small residential scale, our staffing levels often exceed this minimum depending on individual care needs and time of day. This thoughtful approach allows caregivers to build genuine relationships with each Resident, providing warm, responsive, and highly personalized support in a true home setting.
Our caregivers are all background-checked, trained, CPR-certified, and supervised by our RN. They receive ongoing education in dementia care, emergency preparedness, and medication management.
Many of them stay with us for years and become part of the family — offering companionship, laughter, and stability to our Residents.
We believe engagement is essential to wellbeing. Our Cottage employs a Life Enrichment Coordinator who plans weekly programs that bring variety, creativity, and joy to each home— from art, music, and movement to themed socials, holiday events, and gentle sensory activities.
Throughout the week, our caregiving team continues many of these activities daily, keeping the homes lively and connected.
We also host chair yoga, memory games, and volunteer visits. Most importantly, we follow the natural rhythm of each Resident’s day — offering gentle encouragement, but never pressure. Life here is full of meaning, warmth, and choice.
We offer Private Rooms and Shared Rooms. Availability varies by location. Monthly rates also vary depending on room selection and level of care required.
Here’s our Respite Care pricing with a minimum stay of 5 days:
Respite stays begin at $350 per day for the first five days. For longer visits, daily rates are reduced through structured pricing tiers – such as $325 per day for days 6-10 and $300 per day for days 11-15. Rates continue to adjust for extended stays. A five-day minimum stay is required.
Reservation & Coordination Fee: Up to $3,000. This fee is separate and is not applied toward the first month’s rent.
Respite Documentation Fee: Up to $500, depending on care complexity.
Rates are all-inclusive, covering personal care, meals, housekeeping, activities, and 24-hour support.
At Our Cottage, all-inclusive means families can feel confident knowing the monthly rate covers the essential day-to-day support Residents need, without hidden fees or hourly care charges. This typically includes 24/7 caregiver support, assistance with activities of daily living such as bathing, dressing, grooming, toileting, and mobility, medication assistance in accordance with Texas assisted living regulations, meals and snacks, housekeeping and laundry, utilities, activities and daily engagement, and care coordination with third-party providers.
But beyond the services, all-inclusive at Our Cottage also means compassion, patience, dignity, and genuine human connection – the love and tender attention that make a house feel like home. For Residents who need a higher level of support, such as two-person assist, mechanical lift assistance, or advanced memory care, an Enhanced Care Add-On of up to $3,500 per month provides the added staffing and supervision needed to serve them well.
Yes. Our Cottage homes are licensed by the State of Texas as Type B Assisted Living and also hold specialized Memory Care Certification through HHSC.
This allows us to safely care for Residents with Alzheimer’s or other cognitive conditions who need structured, secure environments.
Our Cottage is not a medical facility or nursing home. We are a licensed residential assisted living community thoughtfully designed to provide personalized daily support in the comfort of a real home environment. We do not offer clinical medical treatment or medical services, and Residents are welcome to retain the physicians and healthcare providers they know and trust. We coordinate closely with visiting third-party professionals – including primary care providers, home health, hospice, therapy services, and mobile diagnostic providers – to help support each Resident’s overall well-being.
Our focus is on meaningful daily assistance, safety, comfort, and dignity – all delivered with warmth, respect, and personal attention in a setting that feels truly like home.
