At Columbia Cottage in Mountain Brook, the cost of care starts at $3,760. This rate is paired with a customized personal care plan called CareSteps. After an assessment by our Cottage staff, your loved one will receive a care plan that is specific to his or her individual needs. This plan is revisited every three months or with any significant change, so if your loved one moves in and becomes more independent, his or her cost for care would decrease. If he or she has a decline, the cost of care would increase with the additional staff attention your loved one would require.
The Cottage also offers these additional monthly services:
- Second Occupant: $1,185
- Cable Television: Included
- Phone starting at $22
- Internet: Included
