Overview of Drumlin Reserve

Drumlin Reserve is an active-aging community administered by Chiara Housing and Services Inc. in Cottage Grove, Wisconsin, offering independent living, assisted living, and memory care. Licensed in April 2025 with 70 beds, the community provides older adults in Dane County with a full continuum of care and robust lifestyle programming. Notably, the community was awarded the Best of Cottage Grove in 2025 for senior independent living, assisted living, and memory care, highlighting exceptional quality in its early operational phase.

With 26 of 70 beds occupied, the community currently operates at approximately 37% occupancy rate, which can be attributed to it being newly opened. This is also ideal for those seeking immediate placement without waitlist delays, allowing for flexibility in planning. The community has also undergone one standard inspection and one complaint-initiated visit, which is a good indicator of compliance for a recently opened community. Additionally, the most recent complaint-initiated investigation on October 29, 2025, concluded with zero findings.

Highlighting the community’s philosophy centered on active living, a well-structured lifestyle programming that encompasses social engagement and resident vitality is also provided. The community’s three-tier care model, ranging from independent living to memory care, also allows residents to stay even when their needs progress. Additionally, an events calendar is also conducted for residents’ social and physical well-being.

For a newly established community in the Madison area, Drumlin Reserve has a clean compliance record and broad availability, which appeals to those seeking flexibility in long-term planning. The community’s full continuum of care also ensures older adults can age in place and couples can stay together despite different levels of care. Its active and lively setting is also ideal for those who value social engagement without sacrificing quality. The community has also been locally recognized through the Best of Cottage Grove awards, suggesting exceptional operational standards.
