Insider reviews & perspectives
Comfort Life Review
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.

I attended Toronto's Humber College and I am an experienced sales and marketing executive. I have over 10 years of experience working in the senior care industry in sales and marketing. I have a background in Client and Relationship Management, Communications and Person-Centred Elder Care.
In my free time, I enjoy spending time with my children and being a hockey dad. I also never pass up a chance to get to the mountains.
