Review for The Cottages at Martin Lake

The personalized care that she receives is only available to residents that can afford that level of care privately. Residents receiving Medicaid benefits are not accepted. A full financial disclosure precedes admission. Evaluation of the resident's care needs can not exceed the ability of the care team. In such an event the resident will not be considered eligible for admission regardless of financial circumstances. This facility is small in scale. There is very limited availability. The entire establishment (2 buildings) only accommodate a total of 12 residents. 6 in assisted living, 6 in memory care. The facility is located in a rural environment and may be out of the way for some families. We are from the area and it fits our needs very well. We are very fortunate to have the support of this team to help us through the complexities inherent with AD.

The Cottages at Martin Lake

About the facility

The Cottages at Martin Lake is a privately owned by a RN who lives next door. It was designed and is run to be a home she would feel comfortable placing her own father. After a life time of work and service, seniors deserve to have the very best and that is what this home provides! The small setting of only 6 residents allows for individualized care/support and the amenities promote families to want to visit often. The home is located in Newaygo County on Martin Lake which is a small private lake fed by Artesian Wells, and stocked with fish. We are conveniently located near shopping, churches, and Spectrum Health Gerber Memorial Hospital while being situated in a beautiful natural setting teamed with wildlife. All of the private suites have a wheelchair friendly full bathroom, individual climate control, radiant floor heat, Cable/Dish hook up/WIFI, and a view of the lake.
Residents can enjoy the many activities that are planned or enjoy the outdoors by bird watching or tinkering in the raised garden beds. Homecooked meals are provided three times a day with snacks offered midafternoon and in the evening. Assistance with medication management and personal care is provided.

Grateful for The Cottages!

The Cottages was a wonderful place for my mom til her passing last May... very caring ownership and staff. We would highly recommend it! They were truly angels in caring for my dear mom, even through her last days with Hospice. I cannot say enough about the superlative care Mom received-- they treated her with utmost respect, kindness and love.

Review for The Cottages at Martin Lake

Many factors were involved in choosing this facility. Proximity, availability, cost, phone interview and follow up. Commitment on the part of administrative staff. Medical care qualification. The smaller scale of the facility and more personalized living environment.My mother's care requires a combination of training, patience and experience. I was willing to pay a premium in order to find an environment that could offer an elevated quality of care.

Professional , compassionate, home like care for loved one

The Cottages are a wonderful, caring home-like environment for a loved one! The caregivers are genuinely caring and work as a team, providing a "family" structure. We are so very happy to have our dear mom loved and cared for by these professional and compassionate people! No where on earth better for my precious mother! Love from them and love and gratitude from her and us her family! My mom is now in Hospice care at The Cottages and they treat her with such dignity, compassion and kindness. We couldn't be more blessed by the experience! (Hospice is great too!)

The Cottages are actually better than a home away from home. It can be home. Every detail and creature comfort has been thought out and provided. And best of all, the scenery on the lake, during every season, is breathtaking. [Name removed] is personally involved with each family. She has thought outside the box and created a place that is second to none. Her background, personal touch, expertise, and knowledge has culminated in The Cottages.
