Frequently Asked Questions
What costs are associated with living in a Cottage or Independent Living apartment?
To become a Member at Sterling Estates you pay a one-time membership fee to rent the cottage of your choice with a percentage of the membership fee being refundable. Moving into the perfect cottage at Sterling Estates does not involve the stresses of a typical real-estate transaction. We also offer lower membership fees that are non-refundable for our independent apartments. Becoming a member at Sterling Estates is much like joining a country club. You pay a one-time membership fee and then pay monthly fees due each month.
Are meals included?
Our Cottages and Independent Living Apartments have fully equipped kitchens and comfortable dining rooms, where residents may prefer cooking their own meals. Alternatively we have varied monthly meal plans offered (and included in your base rent) during the day through our 2 different dining venues during the day.

Are there additional costs for the wellness programs?
Wellness at Sterling Estates is an integral part of our daily lives and we believe our Sterling Strong wellness and preventive health care programs are very effective in helping one improve his or her physical or mental well-being. We believe this is a core value proposition for our residents that sets us apart from other communities and can be a material benefit for residents that take advantage of our person-centric wellness model. There are no additional costs associated with participating in our Sterling Strong wellness programs, using our exercise facilities, or swimming in the pool by yourself or with friends and family.
What if my health needs change?
Should the need arise, all Cottage and Apartment Suite residents are guaranteed priority for an Assisted Living Suite in the Main Residence without the charge of a community fee (one month’s rent). These Suites in the Main Residence were designed to meet both Independent and Assisted Living needs. For couples, when one spouse comes to need assistance, residents only pay for the specific Assisted Living services required. We do have a number of residents who need no assistance living in our Main Residence, just to be close to our Wellness Center and Main Dining venues.
Sterling Estates West Cobb is a wonderful place to live. I’ve been an independent resident since the first day it opened, and I have never been sorry for the decision to move here. There are always activities to participate in, a super staffed Wellness Center, excellent food, and the most caring staff I’ve ever seen. I have taken Sterling sponsored trips to Dollywood, Louisville, Charleston, and Savannah, and a myriad of trips to art museums, history museums, gardens, aquariums, train and boat rides, and a variety of other activities. We can participate in bocce games, shuffleboard, and pool exercises. The opportunities are there, and I am happy that I have them. I knew it was the place for me when I needed to move, and I am even more positive of that after the almost eight years I’ve lived here.
Nobody ever went kicking and screaming to a senior living facility more than me. I had a gorgeous 160 year old, 4700 square foot house. Unfortunately, I have Parkinson’s disease and the upkeep just got to be too much. I moved into a cottage at Sterling Estates and it’s been fabulous. They have a Parkinson’s program in their Wellness Center and their entire staff just spoils me rotten. The meals are great and the servers were kick to pick up “don’t put anything green on my plate”. Everybody is just so nice- the staff and the other residents and the maintenance are always here within an hour on the few times I have had a problem. The grounds are immaculately maintained. The road trips to Atlanta’s best restaurants and live plays have been fabulous. I was initially scared that moving in would curtail my independence, but nothing has been farther from the truth. Obviously I would recommend Sterling Estates West for the BEST in senior living.
