What makes Cottage Grove Place different from other retirement communities?

Cottage Grove Place is the only lifecare retirement community in the Cedar Rapids area. Lifecare is the highest form of continuing care because unlimited assisted living and nursing care are included in the comprehensive service package.

What can I expect in terms of health care?

Our philosophy revolves around helping residents live happy and healthy lives. However, it's reassuring to know that if you need nursing care in the future, those services are available at the minimal cost of two extra meals per day. Professional and caring staff accommodate your needs at The Oaks, a state-of-the-art health center where recuperative care, certified assisted living, skilled care and long-term cares services are provided.

Why should I consider moving when I am still able to care for my home and myself?

The best time to consider moving to a lifecare retirement community is when you are feeling good about your life and can take advantage of all that our community has to offer. Many people put off the decision until it's nearly too late - usually because of declining health. Most of our residents say it is one of the best moves they've ever made because of their newfound freedom, enhanced security and expanded options for activities and engagement.

What kind of assurance do I have about the stability of Cottage Grove Place?

Since its opening in 1996, Cottage Grove Place has provided active older adults a rewarding retirement lifestyle. This not-for-profit community is operated by a local Board of Trustees. There is also the added assurance of management by Life Care Services, LLC (LCS) based in Des Moines, Iowa. LCS is recognized as the nation's leader in the management and development of continuing care and life care communities. LCS is the largest, employee-owed company in the retirement living industry, and has been actively involved in the planning, development or management of over 180 senior communities nationwide.

What potential tax savings are available?

Cottage Grove Place residents pay no property tax, and because Cottage Grove Place is a lifecare retirement community, residents may deduct from their income tax a substantial portion of the entrance fee as a medical expense. In addition, residents may also deduct from their income tax a substantial portion of the monthly fee each year as a medical expense.
