Comfort Life Reviews: Cottonwood Village

This provides seniors with a modern place, perfectly suited to the person you are at this time of life. The community (and Claresholm, in which it is located) encourage a friendly atmosphere. Daily inconveniences (everything from grass-cutting to some personal health care concerns) are taken care of by other people. This really does encourage people to spend more time with friends and family, and renew your love for daily living.

An ideal bungalow community

Cottonwood Village combines all the best in innovative contemporary senior living with a wonderful location in the Alberta foothills, comfortable driving distance from Calgary. As you drive up to and into this community, you realize this is a very unique take on independent living. We immediately get the feel of a small town, where everybody looks out for each other. From our experience with similar villages across Canada, we know that bungalow living in a village layout facilitates a tight-knit community. Bonds form fast and strong.

For seniors interested in moving to an ideal-sized place to live that still feels very much like a private home, this will fit the bill. Suites are still very new, with appealingly modern interiors focused on the needs of people in this age range. Bungalow living is ideal for people who want to manage back and joint trouble.
