This is not a call center. You work directly with me.
- I meet families in person — at their home if needed
- I personally tour communities with you
- I pre-vet every option before recommending it
- I help you avoid costly mistakes, including moving twice
- I advocate and negotiate on your behalf
- You get one trusted guide from start to finish
Most services hand you off to someone else. I don’t.
When families typically call me
A parent can no longer safely live at home
You need clear options quickly, without guessing.
Hospital or rehab discharge is approaching
Timing matters, and the next move needs to be right.
You live outside the DFW area
You need someone local you can trust on the ground.
You feel overwhelmed and do not know where to start
I simplify the process and walk with you through it.

Led by experience — not guesswork
I’m David Karnes, owner and operator of Cottage Village Senior Living. With over 16 years in senior living operations, I’ve worked directly with families, staff, and residents — giving me a practical understanding of what truly matters.
I don’t just recommend communities — I understand how they actually operate.
Let’s make the right decision the first time
This process can feel overwhelming, but it doesn’t have to. I’ll walk with you every step of the way.
