The Carriage House in Oxford, FL, is an independent living community that keeps on-site clinical resources close at hand. Residents have access to routine visits from occupational, physical, and massage therapists, and a podiatrist comes in to address foot and ankle health. Medication management is handled by trained staff who coordinate with each resident’s prescribing professionals, while hospice care can be arranged for those who need end-of-life support. These services are delivered on campus to limit outside travel and to maintain consistent oversight of each person’s care plan.
Beyond the medical services, the community organizes regular health assessments and schedules therapy sessions based on individual goals. Staff monitor chronic conditions, assist with appointment logistics, and document progress so that families and physicians stay informed. Emergency response systems are in place throughout the property, and care managers remain on duty around the clock to address urgent needs or unexpected changes in condition.
Apartments and suites are available in several floor plans, each designed to support aging in place. Features may include wheelchair-accessible showers, kitchenettes, high-speed internet, cable or satellite TV, air conditioning, and private balconies, terraces, or patios. Select residences offer pet-friendly policies, outdoor deck access, and views of the central fireplace or piano lounge; however, not every unit includes every feature, so prospective residents should verify specific details during a tour.
Dining is handled by a professional chef who prepares three daily meals with restaurant-style service, plus lighter options through the community’s all-day dining program. Menus can accommodate vegetarian preferences, low- or no-sodium requirements, and other physician-directed modifications. Guest meals are available for visiting family and friends, and residents may choose to take meals in the main dining room or request carry-out for private enjoyment.
Daily life is supported by an activity center, a library and computer lounge, and a schedule that ranges from yoga and chair yoga classes to live music, karaoke, dances, and birthday celebrations. Fitness programs use both the indoor facilities and the outdoor swimming pool, while raised garden beds encourage hands-on horticulture. Residents can join clubs, participate in intergenerational programs, attend happy hour, or head off-site for planned social outings. Outdoor areas are always accessible for those who simply want fresh air.
