Assisted Living in Litchfield, CT
The Help That Makes All The Difference
Personal Care That Respects Your Preferences
Some residents need help with morning routines. Others prefer assistance only with medications. We create care plans around what you actually need, not what a checklist says you should need.
Meals Worth Looking Forward To
Homemade food that tastes like someone cares about it. Shared meals that feel like gathering with friends, not institutional dining.
Days Filled with Choice
Join activities that interest you. Skip the ones that don't. Your schedule is yours to make.
Family Peace of Mind
Your family can visit knowing you're supported, safe, and genuinely cared for by people who see you as an individual, not just another resident.
Our Assisted Living Support Services
The Support You Need, When You Need It
Some days you feel like doing everything yourself. Other days, a little help makes all the difference. At The Cottage, we're here for both kinds of days.
Personal Care That Honors Your Dignity
Help getting dressed when buttons feel difficult, or choosing an outfit that makes you feel confident. Assistance with bathing that respects your privacy and preferences. Support with your personal care so you always look and feel your best.
Health and Safety You Can Count On
Medication management and gentle reminders so you never have to worry about missing a dose. Continence care is provided with discretion and compassion. An emergency response system that means help is always just a button press away.
The Daily Comforts That Matter
Enjoy fresh housekeeping and linen services to keep your space always clean and welcoming. Escorts to meals and activities when you'd like company walking there. Scheduled transportation to appointments so you never miss what's important.
