Welcome to Irvine Cottages
Irvine Cottages’ caring approach starts from the heart. We are dedicated to serve and care for each resident as a family member. That means kind, loving and professional care in a warm and comfortable home. Every detail of our care, the staff, our homes, the food, medication supervision, activities and more is based on this caring approach.
To enhance this approach, all of our residential care is based on the most current research in Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease and other gerontological research findings, making our practices state-of-the-art when it comes to caregiving.
What Sets Irvine Cottages Apart?
By providing excellent care, we decrease your levels of stress and time spent worrying! You will be able to relax because you know your loved ones are in highly-skilled and compassionate hands. You will be able to enjoy quality visits with your family members, rather than doing the myriad of caregiving tasks on your “To Do” list. That’s what we’re here for — to make your life easier and your caregiving journey smoother from now on!
How We Make Life Easier for You
Our capable and compassionate care starts from the top! Jacqueline Dupont, Founder of Irvine Cottages, is a gerontologist with over 20 years of experience in the field of aging. She is a hands-on owner, and you will often see her at your loved ones’ cottages making sure all is going smoothly for our residents. Her commitment, caring and compassion are extraordinary, and these qualities are reflected in her entire staff.
We know taking your loved ones to medical appointments can be a time-consuming challenge, and at Irvine Cottages all medical services come to the patient! We have an on-site physician, psychiatric director, home health care staff, pharmacy delivery, X-ray and laboratory services, hospice care, occupational and physical therapists who come to the Cottages on a regularly-scheduled and/or on an as-needed basis.
Irvine Cottages offer a unique approach to patient protection with full-facility camera coverage. Dr. Dupont was a pioneer in creating this resource for residents, their families and caregivers. Currently all cottages have camera monitoring systems in all rooms. Residents are closely observed, as well as any lost items found. The staff loves the cameras due to the protection they provide and the added benefit their great work being monitored remotely! It is a win-win for everyone. Currently, we have the only camera monitoring program in the United States.
Your loved ones will enjoy a full schedule of patient activities in every one of our Cottages. Our philosophy is that all residents deserve the highest quality of life, no matter what their cognitive abilities are. Arts & crafts, music, games, outings and parties are just a few of the usual activities your loved ones will participate in and get joy from at Irvine Cottages.
