Carriage Crossing Senior Living Bloomington sits in Bloomington, close to local attractions and medical centers, and offers several types of living options like independent living, assisted living, and memory care, so people can get the care they need while staying as independent as possible; there are many suite choices including studios, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom apartments, and even a private suite called INSPYRE, with each space having climate control, Wi-Fi, cable, big closets, and private bathrooms, which makes it easier for residents to make their apartment feel like home. The community sits on one floor with no stairs, and there's a no smoking policy, which some people find important, plus residents can bring pets or have pets visit, and staff help with some of the pet care needs, while groundskeepers look after the outdoor courtyard and all outside areas, which lets people relax or visit outdoors safely.
The staff at Carriage Crossing focus on providing care that adjusts for each person's needs, with licensed team members and a staff-to-resident ratio that meets state rules, and they handle memory care services tailored for people with Alzheimer's and other kinds of dementia, including memory therapies and secure areas so everyone stays safe, and for those needing more support, there's help available around the clock for tasks like bathing, dressing, grooming, medication management, feeding, toileting, and cueing, and the community offers both short-term and long-term respite care along with on-site hospice care. On top of that, there's adult day care during the day for folks who need some supervision so caregivers get a break, and the staff work closely with families and physicians, with a healthcare suite that offers medication reminders, lab services, podiatry, immunizations, pharmacy services, psychiatric care, and support for those who need help with daily medical needs.
Residents get access to a lot of on-site amenities, including a restaurant-style dining area and a little al fresco café for eating outside when the weather's nice, plus a beauty salon and nail spa, a fitness center, computer rooms, plenty of indoor seating areas and recreation rooms for games, crafts, music, or group activities, and transportation services available for outings or medical appointments, so folks have practical support in daily life. The staff run a wide range of events and activities, like arts and crafts, music, educational programs, games, spiritual activities, and social gatherings, which means there's something for just about everybody, and there's a focus on keeping people engaged and active, no matter their level of ability. Cleaning staff handle housekeeping, laundry, linen service, bed making, pest control, and trash removal, while building maintenance staff take care of repairs and groundskeeping, so residents can spend more time doing things they enjoy instead of house chores.
People can relax in the open common areas or outdoor spaces, visit with friends and family during flexible visiting hours, and get therapies like physical, speech, and occupational therapy if they need them, with staff trained in dementia care and all team members having in-person interviews before hiring, which some families may find reassuring. There are several safety features in place, including emergency response systems, security systems, and medical alert buttons, so help is always available quickly in case of an emergency. Residents pay an entry fee, and the community accepts private pay, long-term care insurance, and VA benefits, but it doesn't take Medicaid. Carriage Crossing Senior Living Bloomington has earned high review scores and holds a current state license under number 5106387, and many people say it has a welcoming feel and a focus on compassionate, individualized care, with enough room and resources so everyone can settle in and feel like they belong.
