Carriage Green at Milford

Carriage Green has been home to Mom for over 4 years and was home to Dad for nearly 3 years up to his passing. I am very pleased with the resident care and community engagement provided by many experienced and dedicated team members at Carriage Green. The nursing and personal care staff are professional, helpful and safety focused. Jose and the dining staff consistently provide great food for daily dining and special events for residents and family members. Tonianne and her recreation team arrange for varied and engaging daily activities which are listed at the beginning of the week for orderly planning. Church activities are included. The friendly and efficient front desk team are excellent with questions, deliveries, scheduling transportation, etc. The capital repairs and improvements over the last 18 months (interior and exterior) are much appreciated.

When my husband’s father passed away unexpectedly last year, we had to make the difficult decision to move his mom from Massachusetts to Connecticut. She was in the late stages of Alzheimer’s, and finding the right place for her was not something we took lightly. After extensive research, we found Carriage Green in Milford, and from our very first conversation with Lindsay, who patiently answered our many, many questions, we felt a sense of reassurance. Touring the Memory Care wing, The Harbor Neighborhood, and seeing that it was intentionally designed for just 25 residents to receive the highest level of care, it sealed it for us. It felt warm. It felt personal. It felt right. But what truly set Carriage Green apart was the people. The aides, nurses, and staff in The Harbor Neighborhood are some of the most compassionate, patient, and genuinely loving people we have ever met. These are not just employees doing a job. They are caregivers in the truest sense of the word. They knew our mom. They understood her. They treated her with dignity and kindness every single day. Rose, the director of Memory Care, was always available, always present, always involved, and always responsive. Whether it was a scheduled care meeting or a quick check-in, she made us feel supported and informed every step of the way. And what meant the most to us? As mom declined and we knew her time with us was limited, the level of care did not change. There was no shift in attention or pulling back. If anything, their compassion deepened. When she passed, the outpouring of love from the staff was overwhelming. These were not quick hallway condolences. These were heartfelt, lengthy conversations sharing stories about how much they adored her and how much they appreciated us. It was clear they had formed real connections. Memory care is sacred work. The aides who show up every day to care for residents deserve the highest praise. Carriage Green’s Harbor Neighborhood is filled with very specia

Our mom moved into Carriage Green in 2023 and spent over 20 months there. She was resistant leaving her house of over 50 years but when my Dad passed it was safer for her to be in a place with others. She found a true community, great friends, and people that loved her. The staff is warm and caring. There is live music every week - often twice a week and she loved that. The place was just renovated but what she loved most was looking out into the pretty courtyard where she could enjoy the sunshine or go out to read a book or attend a party. As people age and have limitations it becomes hard, but having people around you that understand is very helpful. I learned people’s life stories and will miss both the residents and staff. I would recommend for your family member too!
