Carriage Hill Assisted Living sits at 306 Knox Marsh Road in Madbury, NH, right near bus lines and close to different community spots, so it's easy for friends and family to visit, and folks don't feel cut off. The facility's pretty small, with just 24 residents, which helps everyone get to know each other and lets staff give each person real attention, almost as if everyone's part of a big family, and you can feel that warmth when you walk in. Family owns and manages the place, and they try to keep that home-like feeling going every day, making sure to talk straight with everyone and not hide anything about how things get run or what kind of care you're getting.
This community opened in December 2015, so it's got the benefit of being modern while still staying quaint and cozy, and everything tends to stay pretty clean, which folks notice right away. There's help with all the things people need day-to-day, like meals, snacks, personal care, housekeeping, laundry, phone, TV, and internet access, so residents don't feel like they're missing out on anything folks have come to expect at home, and the staff takes care with case management and building care plans with nurses when that's needed.
Carriage Hill offers a lot of medical and supportive services, like assisted living for folks who need an extra hand each day, rehabilitation to help after illness or injury, hospice care for serious health issues, and respite care so caregivers can take a break or residents can recover for a short time, and they let people age in place if that works best. People get services like housekeeping, laundry, and transportation available if they need to get somewhere for a fee, along with guest meals if friends or family come to visit. There's a professional chef making meals with Anytime Dining, so meals can work around different schedules, and they also provide special diets for those who need gluten-free or low/no salt or sugar, there's even private dining for special occasions.
The place isn't short on activities, with a regular monthly calendar that lets residents pick what they want to join, from social and educational things to fun and more relaxing times, which helps people make friends or just stay busy, and, for those who want to, there are religious services-Protestant, Jewish, and Catholic, with a chaplain coming by as needed. If folks like to take walks or enjoy sitting outside, there are walking paths both inside and out, outdoor garden patio seating, and a library for quiet reading, plus a game room, TV lounge, and meeting room for when people want company. Beautician services, a barber shop, and a beauty salon are onsite, and residents can have room service if they don't feel up to the dining room.
There's free high-speed internet and Wi-Fi everywhere, so folks stay in touch with loved ones, and residents get their own parking space if they still drive. Staff at Carriage Hill stays attentive and friendly, and they work hard to make sure everyone feels at home, whether they need a little supervision or more hands-on care, and the owners want residents to feel cared for both physically and emotionally, treating each person as part of the Carriage Hill family.
