Description of The Brook

Built around two landscaped courtyards, Columbia Cottage is a stately senior living community specially designed and furnished to represent some of the best of southern living. When residents step inside our front door, they feel like they've come home. Nestled in a quiet neighborhood on the outskirts of Birmingham, our community is conveniently located close to shopping, parks and medical facilities.

Columbia Cottage is managed by Cottage Senior Living, a family owned and operated provider of senior living. Cottage Senior Living is dedicated to helping residents maintain their dignity, independence and choice.

Featured Amenities

Our deluxe accommodations are available in a selection of 12 unique floor plans to suit a variety of lifestyle needs. All apartments feature picture windows, in-suite climate control, kitchenettes, sound proofing and an emergency call system for added peace of mind. Select homes also come with French doors, crown molding and nine-foot ceilings.

When not relaxing in the shade of our gleaming front porch or enjoying a tasty snack in our country kitchen, our residents may participate in one of the many activities held daily at our community. From exercise classes and Bible study to movie screenings and Bingo games, there is always something fun happening at Columbia Cottage.

Available Services

At the heart of our service is our personalized CareSteps program. Our community offers residents 24-hour attention from a nurse-supervised staff. We are always on hand to provide assistance with life's daily activities such as bathing, dressing, managing medications and performing home maintenance.

As an added benefit, our staff also take care of the housekeeping, including a daily tidy-up service, laundry, transportation and meal preparation. Three home-style meals are served daily and guests are always welcome to join us at mealtime.

Columbia Cottage offers everything seniors need to enjoy a happy and healthy retirement.
