The Cottages of Payette’s history is fascinating! The Cottages Assisted Living and Memory Care was founded in 2001 in the rural town of Emmett, Idaho. The community was so welcoming and in need of what The Cottages had to offer, that they opened another location in the town of Weiser just one year later. It became obvious that the surrounding communities, especially the rural towns, were in need of assisted living and memory care that was provided in a personalized way.
The Cottages of Payette’s History
Once The Cottages of Weiser was built, the owners, Garold and Mark Maxfield, set their eyes on a community not too far from Weiser. In fact, it was only fourteen miles away. The next Cottages senior living would be The Cottages of Payette, which is located at 1481 7th Avenue North.
The Cottages of Payette was built in 2002 and consists of one home for 16 residents. The Payette Cottages provides assisted living, memory care, respite, and adult daycare. The caring and competent staff and homelike environment create a unique and healthy environment for the residents. The Cottages of Payette very quickly built a strong reputation for providing exceptional care, especially for those who suffer from dementia, and they continue to hold this positive reputation today.
