LifeCare Versus Rental Living

At Cottage Grove Place, residents can choose the path that best fits their lifestyle and financial goals. LifeCare requires a one-time entrance fee but provides lasting peace of mind—offering predictable monthly costs, priority access to higher levels of care, and potential tax benefits. It’s designed for those who want to plan ahead with confidence.

For those seeking more flexibility, rental living provides the opportunity to enjoy our community, amenities, and services without an entrance fee. Some residents choose rentals as a way to “try out” Cottage Grove Place, with the option to transition into LifeCare later once they’ve experienced the benefits firsthand.

Whatever way you decide, you’ll enjoy the same welcoming community, compassionate support, and hospitality-driven lifestyle that make Cottage Grove Place feel like home.
