I am a friend or relative of a resident My grandmother is at The Cottages at Brushy Creek. That's where she is doing her rehab. Her experience has been good, but we have had some issues with them as well, so I'm not 100% with them. It just seemed like they have more turnover, and there needs to be more nurses because I think that they're spread too thin. However, the facility itself is clean and nice, and they are friendly, but I just think that maybe they're spread too thin.

I am/was a resident of this facility I went there for 3 weeks after a double knee replacement. I was anxious about going there after seeing all the bad and so-so reviews for The Cottages, but that was not my experience at all! I thought they took excellent care of me! Anytime I ran the buzzer, someone was there within 5 minutes or less, and I felt like the staff really did care about the patients. People need to realize that no place is going to be like home. I've visited elderly people in other places, and was often appalle... read more

I am a friend or relative of a resident Nice new buildings make up the Cottages at Brushy Creek which is something uncommon in my area. Many older nursing homes are still around. The facilities at the Cottages are top-notch. They have nice furniture, a nice wide screen television and even a fireplace though I think it may have just been for looks. They have a kitchen area where patients can walk up, tell the cook what they want and pretty much get what food they want to eat every time (within reason of course). Since the bui... read more

I am a friend or relative of a resident Overall I was disappointed with my father's experience at the Cottages. The facility itself was lovely. As the name suggests, there are 10 or so cottages on a small campus, each housing 10-12 residents each. The buildings were newly built in a lovely Arts and Crafts style.The staff I dealt with seemed overall to be willing to help but unable due to strict rules about their authority. On one occasion while visiting my father, I felt sure he was suffering from a UTI. (I had cared for him... read more

I am a friend or relative of a current/past resident My mother-in-law has dementia and has been a resident for at least 2-3 years, since her stay we can never get anyone to answer the phone so we can check on her. We live about five hours away from the center so we can't visit as often as we would like to.

I am a friend or relative of a current/past resident My mom was at Brushy Creek due to weakness and immobility related to lung and kidney disease. I would never recommend this facility. They are severely understaffed. Mom waited for 2 hours to be assisted to the bathroom. Family ended up driving down at 9pm to assist her. Several staff are decent and trying to do a good job under the working convictions. Others are rude and hateful and would not assist with simple requests mom made. The food was good the first couple of days... read more

I am a friend or relative of a current/past resident My husband was there after going to the ER where they discovered Left hip arthritis, bone on bone, and incontinence due to immobility. The food was substandard. They never got my husband up for rehabilitation exercises but charged the insurance companies. There was no hospital bed ordered for my husband upon discharge which made his care harder for me changing sheets and bathing in bed at home. An understaffed facility was a good way to describe this facility.

I am a friend or relative of a current/past resident If you are considering Brushy Creek for a loved one, turn and run the other way. My arrived one day following surgery. He did not receive any medication until the next day. He only got a shower 2 days a week. A discharge planning meeting was planned for the next week. ONE DAY after being notified of the meeting I received a phone call from the Social Worker ( on Thursday) saying your husband will be discharged on Sunday. He could not walk. Had no wheelchair, no equipment. ... read more
