Carriage House On West Garden Lane sits in Snowflake, Arizona, out in the White Mountains, where it's been offering senior care for a good number of years, and it's really set up to meet a lot of different care needs all under one roof. The place is licensed as an Assisted Living Center, with license number #AL1054C, and it can care for up to 32 residents at a time, giving each person a private bedroom with its own bathroom, and there are also independent living apartments with kitchenettes and living areas for those who want a bit more space. Residents at Carriage House get help with daily tasks like bathing, dressing, and managing their medicine, and there's a flat monthly fee with no surprise charges tacked on at the end of the month, which is something people seem to appreciate since a lot of other places charge extra for every little thing.
Memory care is available for people living with Alzheimer's or dementia, and the staff is trained in geriatric care, so they know what to do and can provide different levels of discreet care depending on what each person needs. They also handle more complex medical situations, including catheter and colostomy care, diabetes support, incontinence care, and hospice if needed, and they offer occupational, physical, and speech therapy on-site, plus restorative care for those who need help getting back on their feet after an illness or injury. If somebody needs medication managed, that's included, and the care team puts together personal care plans, checking in around the clock.
There are two courtyards and a duck pond where folks can sit and get some fresh air or watch the ducks glide around-a nice touch you don't always find, and inside, there's a beauty salon, a library, and a big community space for things like games, activities, fitness, and parties. Meals are home-cooked three times a day, laundry and housekeeping are done regularly, and there's scheduled transportation for shopping and appointments, so residents don't have to worry about getting where they need to go. Smoking's permitted, which some residents like, and the building is equipped with security systems, emergency call buttons, secure entry, and on-site staff 24 hours a day.
Payment options include private pay, cash, check, and military or VA benefits. The community puts an emphasis on comfort, safety, and helping people feel like they belong, focusing on wellness programs, regular health checks, and developing enriching spaces where people can take part in social or educational events, relax, or just enjoy a quiet afternoon. There are several floor plans, and residents or their families can ask what's available. Carriage House On West Garden Lane isn't new, but it has earned a reputation in Snowflake for being steady, caring, and helpful to both seniors and their families.
