The Carriages of Marietta

The Carriages of Marietta sits at 1345 Milford Church Rd SW in Marietta, GA, and offers assisted living, memory care, respite care, hospice care, and even home care, so there's a fair bit of support for those who need help each day, whether it's bathing, eating, dressing, or managing medication, and the staff gets state certification and ethics training, plus they're around all day and all night in case anyone needs something. They've got both private and semi-private apartments-some accept pets-and there's cable and internet in some rooms, so you can settle in with your own things, and the place is one story, which keeps things simple for getting around. There's a courtyard with lots of greenery in the middle, outdoor patios and walking paths, and places to garden, plus a community bistro dining room, a media lounge, a library, a recreation room, and an arts and crafts area for folks who want to join in clubs, book talks, and cooking or music groups. There's a gym with exercise programs like Tai Chi, and scheduled visits from occupational and physical therapists, and they work together to provide rehab and support for folks with medical needs. There's a separate Memory Care wing for people living with dementia or Alzheimer's, where activities are planned just for them, with help from staff focused on safety and schedules. The building is set up for accessibility, they've got free and paid transportation, and a Director of Community Data keeps an eye on the information for everyone, so things stay organized. Meals are chef-driven and served in a restaurant setting, utilities are paid, and concierge services help with laundry, housekeeping, and appointments, so daily life can be pretty smooth. There's extra attention to well-being, including weekly staff checks, on-site pharmacy, skilled nursing, regular blood work, assistance with continence and diabetes, and hospice when it's needed. Residents can gather for game nights, story times, social and church events, and there are beauty salon and barber services on site, along with a computer area and a library for quiet time. The Carriages of Marietta is a Continuing Care Retirement Community, which means people can stay as their needs change, and they try to make things as home-like and welcoming as possible, focusing on individual needs with a personal approach. The place gets a high community score of 9.8 based on one review, but there isn't much else reported about the grounds or parking, and no flashy extras like pools or gated entry, just solid, steady support and a simple, friendly space.
