Carriage Square Living & Rehab Center in Saint Joseph offers an assisted-living setting that is backed by a full suite of medical services. Residents have access to skilled nursing, hospice oversight, pain management, diabetic monitoring, and medication management. The center’s comprehensive rehabilitation program delivers physical, occupational, and speech therapies on site, and therapists also address mild dementia conditions through targeted memory-care exercises. Staff can assist with bathing and dressing when some physical help is required, while eating and toileting remain resident-directed whenever possible. Walker and wheelchair transfers are accommodated.
Around-the-clock support is built into the daily routine. Registered and licensed practical nurses are on staff, with an RN available by phone at any hour, and an awake night shift maintains continuous monitoring. Pull-cord call systems in resident rooms alert staff immediately, and 24-hour security personnel are present throughout the property. All employees pass background checks before hire. In addition to direct care, the community provides resident and family counseling, routine laundry and dry-cleaning service, and scheduled memory-care programs.
Rooms can include a kitchenette, independent temperature controls, cable service, and the option to paint or decorate the space, although not every accommodation offers every feature. Housekeeping is provided on a regular schedule to keep living areas clean and orderly.
Dining options start with a set menu that meets nutritional guidelines, but residents also may order alternative selections at mealtime. Snacks are available between meals to support individual dietary needs and preferences.
Shared amenities include wheelchair-accessible common areas, an activities room, internet access, on-site religious services, and a community laundry service. A shuttle is available for medical appointments only.
