What You Should Know About The Carriages of Bloomington
Since opening in March 2018, we have become a well-respected senior living community in the Bloomington-Normal area, offering Independent/Assisted Living and Memory Care services. Our exceptional care is led by a Team of compassionate people who regard our residents as family. Our campus features a "Main Street" design with all resident-use common areas lining the central corridor of the community. Along Main Street you will find a beauty salon; a large multi-purpose room; an inviting theater; a chapel; a bistro where residents gather for socializing by the fireplace; a library; a billiards room; two beautifully landscaped courtyards; and a dining room with large windows that look onto a back patio. Truly, at Carriage Crossing Senior Living in Bloomington, we want to provide you with a warm, welcoming environment where you can continue to Live the Life You Love!
As you plan for the future, we appreciate having the opportunity to share information about what sets our community apart from others you may be considering. At Carriage Crossing, we have nursing services that are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Whether it be a registered nurse, licensed practical nurse or certified nursing assistant, there is always a member of our qualified team to assist with care needs. Also, each staff member also participates in a structured dementia-specific orientation prior to working with any resident in the community, regardless of the role they are filling. We want everyone to have the ability to best communicate and care for those who cannot care for themselves! We also offer made-from-scratch, restaurant-style dining; a fulfilling life enrichment program with opportunities for those with many interests; housekeeping & laundry services; and complimentary transportation for medical and personal needs in the Bloomington-Normal area. EmpowerMe Wellness is also on-site to assist our residents - providing therapy services (Physical, Occupational, and/or Speech Therapy). We also partner with Erin Ruud, In-Home Medical Group - providing on-site nurse practitioner services for those residents interested.
