The Cottages of Renton

Overview of The Cottages of Renton

The Cottages of Renton is a memory care and respite care community in Renton, WA. Memory care provides a secure setting with supervision for residents living with Alzheimer’s disease or another form of dementia who may be at risk of wandering, while medication management helps with prescribed medicines. Respite care offers a short stay for a family whose usual caregiver needs to travel or recover.

The community has 60 beds across three cottages, with each cottage accommodating up to 20 residents. A resident’s immediate living setting is therefore one cottage group rather than the full community.

Secure courtyards and safe walking paths give residents an outdoor area for walks, while gardening opportunities and outdoor entertainment provide activities outside the cottages. Social events are also available, and on-site physician visits allow those visits to take place at the community. Rehabilitation services are available as part of the care offered.

The area has a Walk Score of 47 / 100, placing it in a car-dependent setting where most errands require a car or a ride. The Cottages of Renton may be a good fit for someone who needs a secure, supervised memory care setting or for a family seeking short-term respite support.
