My 93 year old mom absolutely loves Carriage Oaks. Very convenient and it keeps her active. She loves happy hour and the opportunity to interact with others.

Carriage Oaks is a wonderful place to call home!! It is a very warm, friendly atmosphere with the other residents happy to be here also. Carriage Oaks provides and promotes many and varied activities (both here and outside opportunities) in which the residents can participate or not. Breakfast on the week days is another opportunity for residents to be together over varied and nutritous breakfast choices. Also, the dinner choices ( for additional cost) during the week are an asset to living at Carriage Oaks as well.

Nice place for senior living. They are currently undergoing renovations which seem to be taking much longer than needed.

This place is home! My parents and their caregiver moved into Carriage Oaks two years ago and were welcomed into a beautiful, shiny new and clean two bedroom apartment. Cheryl and Denny, the managers of the facility are simply extraordinary and they do so much for the residents that it is mind boggling. Residents can become involved with the facility with gardening, games, exercise classes, craft groups, movies and many artistic presentations. Rides are arranged for local doctor appointments as well as for group shopping to different local stores. During the pandemic the management went above and beyond to not only keep the residents safe but to keep them happy and active. Cheryl and Denny actually picked up local meal orders and delivered each one daily when communal dining room gathering was not safe for such a long time. My father was in failing health and every single person there was wonderful to him as well as my mother. Mom has had snacks and a glass of happy hour wine and dinner delivered to her apartment door and has an endless stack of lovely notes from residents when my father died of cancer last year. The residents and management are ALL so kind and friendly and genuine and they welcome and involve newcomers. We feel so lucky that we were able to get my parents in to such an exceptional residence.
