Warmth & Comfort

The Cottage at St. Katharine Drexel welcomes and values residents of all faiths. We support and celebrte our residents whose lives are affected by cognitive changes.

Significant life changes can alter a person’s vision, hearing and sense of smell and touch. We have designed our community to encourage feelings of familiarity and security for all residents. Design features include open sight-lines, special lighting and uniquely designed program spaces to help residents feel at home. The home-like atmosphere is further enhanced through specially selected color schemes to evoke comfort and pleasure. Outside each resident’s door, an enclosed shadow box is mounted to display favorite family pictures and other items of meaning in the resident’s life.
