Community First Expands Presence in Mason with New Senior Living Acquisition

Community First Solutions has announced its fourth senior living acquisition in under two years, strengthening its role as a leader in Southwest Ohio’s nonprofit aging services sector. The organization has acquired BrightStar of Mason, which will now operate as The Cottage of Mason, an assisted living and memory care community offering a residential, home-like environment for older adults.

This move deepens Community First’s footprint in the Mason/Deerfield area and complements its existing Montage Mason property. With its regional headquarters nearby, the organization is well-positioned to support the new location with established leadership and proven care practices.

“This is about creating a continuum of care that meets people where they are,” said Brett Kirkpatrick, President & CEO. “We’re excited to welcome The Cottage of Mason into our network and continue expanding the services we offer families in this region.”

Founded in 1918 and headquartered in Hamilton, Community First Solutions provides a broad network of services that includes senior living, behavioral health, pharmacy, and post-acute care.
