- Track record — Over 21.5 years of licensure, this small six-bed home has accumulated 4 Type A and 7 Type B (administrative, paperwork-type) citations, but the trajectory has shifted clearly toward the positive in recent years.
- Recent 3 years — The last three inspections, spanning 2023 through January 2026, show zero Type A or Type B citations and no substantiated complaints, indicating the earlier findings are not part of a current or ongoing pattern.
- Complaints — Only one complaint investigation has occurred in the entire licensed period, and neither allegation raised was substantiated.
- Operating tenure — More than two decades of continuous licensure gives this record real weight — the recent clean stretch reflects sustained, not incidental, performance for a small home of this size.

AI review summary
Families consistently praise the attentive, personalized care and homelike setting at Carriage Care, but should ask about activity offerings and current staffing levels given its small size.
Read Full SummaryRead less
- Staff & care — Reviewers repeatedly describe staff, especially caregivers like Erlinda, as loving, attentive, and responsive to residents' needs and requests.
- Atmosphere & grounds — The small, homelike setting with private rooms and a family-style environment is frequently highlighted as a comforting alternative to larger facilities.
- Daily life & dignity — Families note that residents are treated with warmth and personal attention, with staff catering to individual preferences and desires.
- Activities — Multiple reviewers mention limited mental stimulation and infrequent group activities like bingo or music, so families should ask about the current activity schedule.
- Communication — One reviewer noted a quiet atmosphere with little visible interaction among residents, so it's worth asking how many residents are currently there and their engagement levels.
- Financial transparency — Pricing appears to depend on an individual care assessment, so families should confirm current rates and how costs adjust as care needs change.
