Carriage Green at Milford

Carriage Green at Milford sits at 77 Plains Rd in Milford, Connecticut, in a quiet neighborhood near Route 1, I-95, and the Merritt Parkway, making it easy to get to from both Fairfield and New Haven, and the building's painted yellow with mature trees and tidy gardens all around, which gives the place kind of a settled feel, and residents have privacy and comfort in studios, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom suites, with some rooms made specially for memory care, including companion suites, and there are kitchenettes, walk-in closets, and private bathrooms or wheelchair-accessible showers, so folks can pick what works best for them, and there are emergency call systems in the rooms for peace of mind. The community has several care levels, so some people come for independent living, others need a bit more support in assisted living, while those with dementia have memory care options with staff trained to help them, and higher skilled nursing care's available too, all on the same campus if someone's needs change. There are plenty of shared spaces to spend time in, like the big dining room with restaurant-style service, private dining or party rooms for celebrations, cozy living rooms with fireplaces, card and game rooms, a movie room or theater, a cafe/bistro, a library, and even a computer room, and outside you'll see patios with grills and tables for eating, raised garden beds, walking paths, a courtyard, and garden areas for pets or people to enjoy some sun, and indoor walking paths for when it's cold or wet. Residents can get chef-prepared meals with vegan, vegetarian, and special diet options, and there are cooking demos for those who like to watch, and there's a beauty salon and barber shop onsite, plus meditation and worship space, with services for Catholic and Protestant faiths both on and offsite. Staff help with bathing, dressing, medication, transportation to appointments, and therapy services like physical therapy or pet therapy, with laundry, linen, housekeeping, trash, and groundskeeping handled as well, and there's room service if folks want to eat in their rooms. There's always staff on site with controlled access to the building for safety, and amenities like Wi-Fi, a fitness center, elevators, and resident parking, and you'll find the place well set-up for wheelchair access. There's a full schedule of activities for social, educational, and entertainment-think arts and crafts, piano concerts, games, light therapy, and things to keep the mind active especially for memory care residents. Carriage Green welcomes pets, offers respite care, hospice, and aging in place, so people don't have to move if their needs change, and social life's busy with group meals, events, and outdoor spaces to gather, all in a friendly, welcoming environment people seem glad to call home.
