Welcome to Fairways Cottage Retirement Living — where experience, compassion, and community come together to support seniors and their families during one of life’s most meaningful chapters.
At Fairways Cottage, we believe that aging should be a joyful, empowered journey, filled with dignity, independence, and connection.
Our goal is simple:
To offer trusted guidance, heartfelt inspiration, and practical resources to help seniors and caregivers navigate the beautiful, complex world of retirement living.
Who We Are
Fairways Cottage Retirement Living is a small, intimate online community created by retirees, for retirees.
We understand first-hand the opportunities and challenges that come with transitioning into retirement, because we’ve lived it ourselves.
Our site was founded by Margaret Grace, a certified Geriatric Care Manager and long-time senior advocate.
With over 30 years of experience in retirement home management, senior wellness programs, and caregiving support, Margaret brings a warm, deeply personal perspective to every piece of advice we share.
Margaret’s philosophy is simple:
“Retirement isn’t the end of the road — it’s the start of a beautiful new chapter. Every senior deserves to feel valued, supported, and fully alive.”
Fairways Cottage reflects this vision, offering readers real-world experience, practical tools, and a compassionate voice they can trust.
