Carriage Glen is a senior living community in Lincoln, Nebraska, designed for older adults who want independent living or assisted living, and you'll notice it's got a remodeled feel, fresh amenities, and a staff that aims to be friendly and attentive whether you want a studio, a single room, or a two-bedroom apartment, with sizes between 703 and 1,542 square feet, and most places come with a kitchen or kitchenette, one or two bathrooms, washers and dryers, and maintenance services included in the monthly rate, which starts at about $2,580 and runs up to $8,000, based on apartment type. You'll find both indoor and outdoor common areas to relax or meet friends, and with the safety features like a sprinkler system, handicap accessibility, and guest parking, seniors can feel comfortable knowing help is there for walking and wheelchair assistance or personal care when they need it. Meals are provided and are mostly nutritious, and the dining room is a lively place to gather, but residents also have the chance to cook for themselves if they want using their own kitchens, and you can take part in housekeeping and laundry services too.
Carriage Glen offers a full schedule of on-site and off-site activities, so people can take part in arts and crafts, games, educational classes, health and wellness programs, or devotional gatherings for spiritual connection, and there's always something happening in the fitness center, the game room, or out on the shuffleboard court, bocce court, or putting green, so you won't find it hard to keep busy or make new friends. Meals and snacks are offered daily, and you'll have access to personal care assistants, healthcare services including diabetic and non-ambulatory care, and even long-term care insurance options, which helps families find a setup that's right for them. Residents use WiFi and cable TV, and transportation services help them get to nearby restaurants, shopping, Holmes Lake Park, or the local golf course at Firethorn, making it easier for people to stay active and connected in the community.
The facility runs Monday to Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., and the partnership with Transforming Age, a nonprofit group, signals a commitment to quality and resident happiness, with core values like integrity, grace, respect, innovation, teamwork, accountability, and fun carried out in daily routines. Carriage Glen's focus is on letting seniors keep their independence as much as possible, giving choices about care and encouraging everyone to join in the social gatherings, pursue hobbies, or simply enjoy a peaceful maintenance-free lifestyle. The staff has been trained to assist respectfully while allowing residents plenty of freedom to shape their own days, so there's a mix of social events, personal care, and practical help that gives people a comfortable and safe place to live as they get older and want a little less to worry about.
