Carriage Manor looks more like a bed and breakfast than a nursing home or personal care home. The staff is very caring but right now, they're understaffed. They have either single rooms or double rooms. They've got a front porch and a rear porch you can sit out on. We moved my mother to another place because she needs more care, but for somebody that needs assisted living, this place is a good value. Since they are understaffed right now, they don't want to take out time to do the activities. It's not that the people are not cared for, because they are. But I don't think they got the time or…
Carriage Manor looks more like a bed and breakfast than a nursing home or personal care home. The staff is very caring but right now, they're understaffed. They have either single rooms or double rooms. They've got a front porch and a rear porch you can sit out on. We moved my mother to another place because she needs more care, but for somebody that needs assisted living, this place is a good value. Since they are understaffed right now, they don't want to take out time to do the activities. It's not that the people are not cared for, because they are. But I don't think they got the time or the staff to do the extra things like the activities and such.
Different from the rest. Individually owned. Old Post Office. Steady staff. Just not as nice as the rest.
Carriage Court (Formerly Carriage Manor) is really nice. My mother's accommodations look like a regular bedroom. They have church twice on Sundays, and the laundry is included with the fee. The dining area is nice, big, homey, and has regular tables. The food is really good.
The people at Carriage Court are great as far as being personal, but there's just not too much being offered there in terms of stimulation. We've had a few problems there too, but we've worked those out. She's staying there for respite. The majority of people there are really "not there" as they have dementia problems, are elderly, or physically challenged. I don't think the person I'm taking care of will be able to make friends there, which is important if you're in a community. They have planned activities and she plays bingo. The size and layout of her room are fine, and she uses her furniture. The bathroom is very nice and large. The dining area is very cheerful, big, and open.
My mother was a resident of Carriage Court. It used to be called Carriage Manor. It was a beautiful place, but once the new owners took over it went downhill, and we pulled our mom out of there. All the staff interacted with the patients and they sat around and talked, so I can't complain about the staff. With the new management, they took the common areas and made them into bedrooms so when you came to visit you had nowhere to go to get a little bit of privacy. They had a really good activities director but they got rid of her. They said that my mom needed to be on a pureed diet. We had various tests that said she didn't have to be in it, but they still said she had to be on it. It got to the point where all the residents just had their heads down and were sleeping all the time.
Was used as a b&b before and is an older building. That being said, clean, caring, considerate, and very helpful in an extremely tough times for families. My sister is currently there and is doing better. The costs were 1/2 of other facilities.
After touring this place, we found it to be awful! The outside is beautiful, but the inside is not. The halls are very narrow, the rooms are very small, and there are lots of stairs. The building looks very old as well. The residents seemed to be happy and content, but I wouldn't even seriously consider this place for my loved one to reside. The only things that made me consider it was the price.
I toured this community for care that would be offered. The staff seemed to be good and answer the questions that we asked. The food seems to need improvements. They have offered activities. The rooms seemed to be dark. I would not recommend that care from this community.
