We are not a nursing home.
The Cottage was founded on the sole belief that all seniors have something left to give. Our home is a place where your loved one may continue to flourish alongside their peers.
Karen Mondini, CEO
Karen grew up in Orange County, CA and soon moved to East Texas (Athens) in 1995 with her husband, Dr. Gregory Mondini, and two sons, Alex and Max. She spent much of her free time volunteering for Meals on Wheels in Henderson County, building deep relationships with the elderly within the community. This ultimately lead her to educate herself upon the existing options available to the senior community and their families.
In 2001, Karen founded a senior care business - Caring Companions - Athens. Over the course of the past 22 years in business, she has become increasingly aware of the frustrations many families face when considering traditional nursing homes and assisted living facilities.
Through tireless research and discovery, Karen concluded that residential care homes, like The Cottage, are the answer to providing the highest quality, personalized care possible to our aging population.
She is eager to begin this new journey in providing seniors and their families with a happier alternative to traditional nursing and assisted living homes. Karen hopes your family will join her in this adventure toward a more comfortable option for our elderly loved ones.
