Formerly Westminster Pines, Cottages of Bradenton is an assisted living facility and Alzheimer's / Dementia center with apartments and rooms available for senior living as an alternative to nursing homes.
When you first approach Cottages of Bradenton after leaving busy 53rd Avenue, you get the impression of a well-kept country retreat set back in the woods. There are six separate buildings on this six-acre property, which is located close to shopping, restaurants and medical facilities. The western-most building, called The Elms, features a screened porch across the back overlooking a serene pond and water fountain.
The owner of Cottages of Bradenton, Robert Lowry of Lowry Group Properties, operates ALFs in Sebring and Miami as well as this location. The hallmark of Lowry's facilities is their home-like atmosphere: the staff dresses casually (no uniforms); most residents dine at their chosen times, selecting from a menu of items; housekeeping and personal care is provided at the resident's convenience; and there are many planned activities.
