4 state citations (1 serious, 3 minor) and 1 verified complaint across 8 inspections since 2021. The verified complaint, investigated in December 2025, alleged staff struck a resident and used inappropriate language; the state found the allegations unsubstantiated after interviewing the administrator, staff, residents, and family members, with no visible signs of injury and multiple witnesses contradicting the claims. The serious citation and 3 minor citations were issued through routine annual inspections over the facility's operating history. Annual inspections in 2023, 2024, and September 2025 documented generally compliant conditions, including proper infection control practices, functional safety equipment, adequate food supplies, and no obstruction of exits. The facility operates at 6 beds and has held hospice waiver approval for non-ambulatory residents since at least 2024.
Whittier Cottage II is a 6-bed assisted living home in Whittier that takes a family-first approach to residential care. The facility provides comprehensive daily living assistance including personal care, nutritious meals with special diet accommodations, housekeeping, medication management, incontinence care, and memory care for residents with Alzheimer's and other forms of dementia.
WiFi and entertainment are provided in each resident's room.
Memory care in an intimate setting
Whittier Cottage provides Alzheimer's and dementia care in a 6-bed environment. For families who want their loved one in a small, familiar setting rather than a large memory care wing, this combination of specialization and scale is compelling.
Commitment to preserving residents' interests and identity
The facility explicitly focuses on helping residents continue activities related to their hobbies and interests. This isn't just about meeting medical needs — it's about maintaining the things that make your loved one who they are.
In-room WiFi and entertainment for every resident
Each room comes equipped with TV/movies and WiFi. Personal entertainment access matters for quality of life, especially for residents who enjoy staying connected with family through video calls or watching favorite shows.
4 years of operation
Licensed since mid-2021, this facility is still relatively young. Ask about resident turnover, staff stability, and how the home has evolved since opening.
Part of a multi-location operation
The 'II' designation suggests this is the second Whittier Cottage location. Verify which location you're evaluating and understand any differences in staffing or services between the two.
