About Us

Cottingham is a part of the Deaconess Communities, a non-profit organization, and we’re proud to have all the benefits that go along with it.

As a non-profit senior community, we are focused on you and not making huge profits. We’re comfortable placing all our effort on our residents and hiring a highly qualified staff. Cottingham Retirement Community offers everything under one roof for independent lifestyles, assisted living, rehabilitation, long term care, and memory care. You’ll have peace of mind knowing that you will not have to move when your needs change.

Cottingham Retirement Community was established in 1984.  We are non-denominational and welcome those who are 65 years and older. There is no endowment fee, only a one-time community fee.  You’ll have everything you could dream of needing and people that care about you.

 

Steady U Cottingham Retirement Community is a Proud Sponsor of Steady U

Steady U Ohio is a statewide collaborative falls prevention initiative, supported by Ohio government and state businesses (including Cottingham), to ensure every Ohioan knows how they can prevent falls, one step at a time.

About us

Location

Cottingham Retirement Community is conveniently located within minutes of several major freeways- I-275, I-75, and I-71. We are located in a thriving metropolitan area that offers many resources close by such as: shopping malls, Horseshoe Casino, Taft Theater, beautiful parks, activities and dining on the Ohio Riverfront, The Great American Ballpark-home to the Cincinnati Reds, and more. You might be tempted to sneak out at night for a few laughs!

About us

Financial Planning

Cottingham rates are very affordable; you might say we are the best kept secret in town! There is a one-time minor community fee then your monthly rent. Expenses at a retirement community encompass everything you need and can possibly be less than your current home expenses once you do the math. Utilities, phone, cable TV, weekly housekeeping, and weekly linen changes are included. You won’t find those perks at home! If you require financial assistance, come and talk to us. We can offer several resources that may be able to help. Please contact our retirement counselor for more information, email, or call us.
