FAQs
Let’s Talk About Assisted Living
What’s the difference between assisted living and a nursing home?
Assisted living supports daily living, like bathing, dressing, grooming and medication management, so your loved one can stay active and engaged in their own apartment-home. Nursing homes provide around-the-clock skilled nursing care for those with chronic medical needs.
What services are available for assisted living residents at Cottage Grove Place?
Common support includes:
- personalized help with bathing, dressing, grooming
- medication management
- consultations with registered nurses and dietitians
- social work services
- weekly housekeeping and linen service
- personal laundry
- scheduled transportation
While some senior living communities include caps on hours or limits on the number of tasks residents can request each week, our assisted living team works with residents to create a holistic, balanced support plan that ensures their well-being.
What kinds of apartment-homes are available for assisted living?
We offer a variety of one- and two-bedroom assisted living floor plans, with layouts ranging up to 1,200 square feet. All are built with aging residents in mind, with features such as easily navigable kitchenettes, oversized bathrooms with ADA fixtures, and generous closets. Each residence can be customized to reflect your family’s style and preferences, so you can create a home they’ll love. See our layouts and openings.
Do you offer any ways to try out assisted living before a move?
We know caring for a loved one can be some of life’s most demanding work, which is why we offer a respite care option for those interested in trialing a move to Cottage Grove Place. We provide caregivers with a much-needed break, while allowing future residents to experience our hospitality difference themselves.
How do families pay for assisted living?
If your loved one is a member of LifeCare at Cottage Grove Place, you’re covered with guaranteed access to assisted living and a predictable, stable monthly fee.
Families moving to our assisted living neighborhood from outside Cottage Grove Place often utilize resources like long-term care insurance, proceeds from a home sale, life insurance, a reverse mortgage, bridge loans, or annuities. Talk with our team and your financial advisor to explore all the options available to your family.
How can you help me transition from my home, including downsizing?
Making a move to assisted living can feel overwhelming, but our dedicated transition experts are here to guide your family every step of the way. We’ll help you plan, organize, and simplify the process—from downsizing and deciding what to bring, to arranging movers and setting up your new home.

Conversations With Cottage Grove: Insights Into Our Assisted Living Offerings
Kayla Duggan knows a thing or two about senior assisted living and how it provides older adults with just the right amount of support they need to keep doing…
Hear From Our Families
“My mother in law has been living at CGP for several years. A year and a half ago she moved to assisted living. We have been so pleased by the staff, the apartments and the rest of the facilities. I really believe that having social activities, nutritious food, friends to share meals with, and having people around to check on you is vitally important to keeping seniors healthy and happy. Thank you CGP!”
– Sandra“I moved back to cedar Rapids from California and into Cottage Grove Place 6 years ago so I could be close to my family. It was a great decision. CPG is the best deal in town, especially with LifeCare—meaning I don’t have to leave my friends—just move within the community to a different level of care. And my kids didn’t have to take care of me after recent surgery.”
