Cottonwood feels like home. Everyone is so kind and helpful, and the food is incredible. The nurses and CNAs are professional, but also take time to make you feel welcome.

Rollie & Richard Butler

My husband has been at Cottonwood for 6 weeks. Thanks to the excellent nursing care, p.t.’s, OTs, kitchen cooks & staff, cleaning staff & everyone, he has progressed & improved so he can return home. We are thankful & appreciative of every one of you who are so committed & kind.

Lynn Wynn

I do not have family residing at Cottonwood. I visit a few people through a Summit Church ministry. What I notice most is the cleanliness of the facility—no medicinal or urine odor as with some residences. The staff seems friendly and helpful. A very positive experience. The people I visit have expressed a high level of satisfaction with Cottonwood.
