Daily meals are prepared by our staff who take special measures to incorporate ingredients which are both fresh and in season. This helps us to provide our residents with a more satisfying experience, overall.
Can residents furnish and decorate their own rooms?
We encourage individuals to bring their own artwork, family photographs and mementos if they would like to. Personalizing one’s space and making oneself feel right at home is always supported and encouraged.
The private rooms come with basic tasteful furnishings. If a resident wants to bring a cherished piece of furniture or other belongings into their rooms we must first ensure that Cobbdale’s health and hygiene standards are met. We evaluate all requests on a case-by-case basis and make every effort to accommodate residents wishes whenever possible.
What is the Policy for Visitation from Family and Friends?
Although we do not offer accommodations for overnight guests, a resident’s family and friends are always welcome at Cobbdale for visiting and enjoying meals together. We love when family and friends are able to participate in some of our outings, events, and recreational activities at Cobbdale.
