The Cottages Senior Living

What The Cottages Senior Living does

The Cottages Senior Living is a private, family-owned operator of state-certified assisted living residences specializing exclusively in memory care for individuals with Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's, Lewy Body dementia, vascular dementia, and other memory disorders. Founded in 1997 and headquartered in Frisco, Texas, the company operates four residences across Texas: The Cottages at Chapel Creek (Frisco/Dallas), Chandler Creek (Round Rock/Austin), Clear Lake (League City/Houston), and Quail Creek (Amarillo), with most locations offering two cottages each and the newest facilities built in 2015 and 2021. The underlying care model is built on a Mayo Clinic-inspired cottage floor plan, with each cottage housing 12-16 residents in a small, home-like environment of 2-4 townhomes with 8-12 private apartments, color-coded wayfinding, and the proprietary Vigil Dementia System (motion sensors and wireless access for resident safety and monitoring). The company staffs 24-hour qualified caregivers, certified dementia practitioners, licensed vocational nurses, certified medication aides, and on-site chefs with registered dietician oversight, and offers quarterly pharmacy consultant reviews, mobile lab and x-ray services, and respite care. Revenue is generated through an all-inclusive subscription-style monthly fee per resident that covers accommodation, dining, activities, housekeeping, laundry, medication management, 24-hour staffing, and all levels of personalized care with no level-of-care add-on charges, allowing residents to age in place as dementia progresses. Go-to-market is sales-led and direct: families reach the operator via phone, online inquiry forms, scheduled in-person or virtual tours at each location, and increasingly through the A Place for Mom referral network; supporting channels include a Feedspot-recognized blog, location-specific Facebook pages, X/Twitter, email newsletter, organic SEO, and participation in Alzheimer's Association events such as Walk to End Alzheimer's. Ownership is concentrated with founder Trent D. Quinn (Managing Principal, President and CEO since 2002) and Mandy Quinn (Principal and EVP of Brand Marketing), with no disclosed institutional investor or PE backing.
