Would choose Carriage House again

Local and regional management are helpful, friendly, and quite competent. Corporate are a pain. Also very penurious. Physical plant is attractive and well kept, as is the large yard with patio and various. I would choose The Carriage House again.

Our Experience

My loved one is currently a resident at The Carriage House and the overall experience has been okay. The cleanliness of the facility and the value for cost are great. The staff and care services are okay, due to staff turnover. The meals are okay, however, the cleanliness is low for food prep. The activities are good.

My Home For The Foreseeable Future.

Food portions are small, but 2nds are available on most items, including desert. Featured items are often a little light on protein, and breakfast meat is only offered twice a week. Soups run from good, to outstanding. Fresh dinner rolls from the in-house bakery are really good. Housekeeping is a little thin, but the housekeepers are also the servers. The servers are very good, helpful, and friendly when they come to work. To their credit, managers pitch in to take up the slack. The apartments are not really apartments as they do not have cooking facilities. I've overcome that with a hotplate and airfryer, and microwave. None of which get much use. Apartments come with a full sized refrigerator. Kitchen sink is quite small, and there is minimal counter space. Television reception and wi-fi are free, but wi-fi reception is not high-speed. Transportation is provided to stores, appointments, and church. Church services are held at an in-house chapel. A podiatrist sees residents on a regular basis. Various 3rd party PAs, nurse practitioners, PT coaches are welcome at the facility. If the prospective resident is fairly active in mind and body, the provided activities are a little thin, but there are lots of them. Management is open to suggestions. I was able to get karaoke started once a week. The management at Carriage House is friendly, helpful, and competent. All 4 managers live in the facility and are available 24/7. There is also a full time Activities Director who organizes interesting trips and regular imported musical programs. There is an actual motion picture theater offering a movie every afternoon and again in the evening. There is a well equipped workout room, pool room, library, and a heated swimming pool. I would recommend it to friends and relatives who are not interested in cooking. Actually, there is a well equipped kitchen and small dining area should a resident wish to have a dinner party. Also, a private dining room is available for larger functions. Having a car is a bonus. Thanks to A Place For Mom (and dad too) for helping me focus my search for a new home. Wishing you success in finding a new home for yourself or a loved one.

Review for The Carriage House

They are extremely friendly and do a great job overall they show great empathy for all their residents. The only thing that I could see improve possibly is the food service which personally I think is OK but all of the ladies complain about that just a little bit. Overall they do an outstanding job. My loved one is happy there.

Mom is extremely happy here

Mom is extremely happy at The Carriage House, I would rate them higher than a 5 if possible. The facility has a lot of activities for the residents who live here. My mom is 90 but she loves to go swimming and the swimming pool is open all the time and she goes twice a day for exercise. They also have a theatre, live entertainment that comes in, etc. The food and the service is top notch as well. I would absolutely recommend Carriage House, it is a great place.

Wonderful experience

I visited The Carriage House and immediately the air you feel and experience when you enter is light and friendly. How true as I got to meet some of the staff and managers. Very friendly and helpful people. I had a meal there and the food was very good and the dining room was alive. I met some of the residents and they were very warm and welcoming. They all had good things to say about the community and its staff. Very impressed and would highly recommend for any senior to improve their life.

Mom is Happy She Moved Here

I would recommend the community and already have to others. The staffing is concerned and conscientious about each resident. They have card, Wii Bowling, heated pool, and more for the residents to participate in.

Feels like a fancy hotel

The Carriage House has been absolutely awesome and I have no complaints. When you walk in it takes your breathe away, it is so beautiful and feels like you are walking into a very nice hotel. I am in an efficiency apartment and I have so much room I don't even know what to do with it. The food is terrific, they have 3 chefs and all the meals are fresh. There is a big formal dining room as well. My favorite part about it so far is peace and quiet. I would highly recommend.

The person that we were to meet was busy with another person so we were shown around by another individual. Since we had been through [removed] already we had fewer questions. They are sister facilities. Nice facility. We are only at the beginning of our research for my dad.

"The Carriage House", Oxford is in Our Future!!

My experience with "The Carriage House" was nothing short of excellent. John and Jeniffer are professionals as the management team. We dealt mostly with Jeniffer and we could not have found a most charming, caring and compassionate young lady to help us in our time of need.

Mom's New Home

I went with my Mother to visit several independent and assisted living facilities and then made a second trip back to her three favorites. The Carriage House won hands down. The facility was very clean, offered 3 meals, had a lot of activities to offer plus transportation to the doctors, shopping and outings and had the friendliest people. I helped my Mom move in and ate there numerous meals and spoke with the residence and not one resident had anything bad to say about the facility. The staff is wonderful and very helpful. She has only been there a few weeks but loves her new place and the new friends she has met. I live far away so this is a great comfort to me.

Rest Easy

It took only one look to know this is where my Mom belonged. It took her less time to make up her mind to move at 88 years old . The staff that runs Cariage House is the best I have seen in this field. They when above and beyond what was needed to help move her within a week. I rest better knowing she is now happy, safe and healthy in this new environment .

Heard very good things!

My loved one really seems to be enjoying himself here! He toured quite a few in the area and this was his favorite by far. He has already made a few friends, and he has had good things to say about both the food and the variety of activities they offer!

Great place to stay, for you or for your parents

The staff at the Carriage House could not have been nicer. They were very helpful and went out of their way to make my parents feel at home. We would highly suggest that anyone that is looking for an independent living community, put The Carriage House on the top of your list.

This facility tops all of my visits! Studio costs $1955/mo vs. Steeplechases $1895. I can live with the difference. Very clean and no odors! My tour guide Robin was excellent! Studio costs $400 more than Marion, but offers so much more...looking at the entire package. Still 25 miles from doctors office and Marion just 13.5 All in all Carriage was a touch better than Steeplechase...although Steeplechase offered the best views!

Like part of the family

They are friendly but they care for everyone there like they were part of the family. The different amenities stand out, they have a Movie Theater, game room and provided 3 set meals a day. They were close to us. We noticed that the management were actually concerned for the people there. I would say the cost could have been reduced. Maybe deduct the meal plan, for an option of either a 2 or 3 meal plan. My mother is only taking 2 of the 3 meals provided.

One of The Best

My sister seems happy at the Carriage House. I believe the various activities are good for her well-being. I would recommend it to others seeking a good placement for their loved ones.
