Carnegie Village Senior Living Community

Ritchey

Carnegie Village Senior Living Community is a smaller environment. I toured the assisted living, and we saw a studio apartment that was going to be redone and would be the apartment that my mom would rent. We saw the dining rooms on the third floor as well as the first floor. It was clean and the person who took us around, Markey, was very, very nice.

We went to Carnegie Village Senior Living Community. I think the staff was very friendly, the facilities were clean, and the price seemed to be a little better than the others. The residents we met seemed to be fine. I know they have a gardening section that is available for the residents to tend, and that's a plus, and they have other activities that they do with their tenants.

I toured Carnegie Village. It was like an apartment complex. The person who assisted me was very positive. They were informative and nice. They introduced my mother and aunt to people as we went by. They have a library, and they have two restaurants inside. There's a deli and a regular sit-down restaurant that people can use. They serve free continental breakfast. They have shuttle services that will take people to the grocery store every week and to regular shopping. Once a week they have an activity where they can go to a movie, go down to casinos, or wherever the people sign up to go. They have lots of games, a walking club, a quilting area, and sewing machines. We saw the 1-bedroom, the 2-bedroom, and the penthouse, which is like a 3-bedroom with larger living quarters. They were very nice, well-carpeted, very clean, and a good size for any bedrooms. Even the studio was good.

Carnegie Village has all the different activities and events for the residents to do. The people were really great. The apartments are very nice, with lots of room, they are very clean, and the residents can have just about anything they want in their rooms. They're very personable. It's a great location and it's all very well-kept. The staff member was very informative, friendly, and seemed very caring. The place was very clean.

We visited Carnegie Village. The independent living was good, but I didn't care for the assisted living. The independent living was lovely and very nice and the people that lived there seemed very happy. Some residents had dogs, which was awesome, but the assisted living did not seem as well-kept and the staff didn't seem as engaged. I was disappointed. They have several amenities like a salon, and some social areas for guests (like if your family were going to come visit). They also have activities and there's even an activities director that promotes things residents can do throughout the week.

Carnegie Village does a good job, does good service, and is very friendly, and the staff is exceptional. My parents' apartment is very clean, well-kept up, had a great kitchen area, and before they moved in, they had brand new carpet and was repainted. It's a nice and good place. They're not perfect, like a Taj Mahal place, but there's always room for improvement.

Carnegie Village Senior Living Community would probably be where we'll put our parents. The place was very good, nice, and clean. We had a very good tour. The people seemed like they were well taken care of and looked happy. They had three different dining areas and the food looked appealing for just about any type of person. They had bingo nights, outings and day tours, shopping once a week, and dances every now and then. They had a library and a TV in their room if they want.

We had a full tour of Carnegie Village. It’s very nice. They seemed to take good care of their residents. The dining room area was very nice, not brand new, but it looked good. They were expanding garages and parking areas when we were visiting because they had a lot of people, I guess, that still drive in that area, which is what we were looking for. However, we’re not sure if we’re going to move to that area, but if we move there, that’s probably where we would go.

We chose Carnegie Village for my friend. It is wonderful! The staff is the best. Everybody that we've met there is friendly. They've gone out of their way to make her feel comfortable and get things set up for her. It has a bright feeling. She has been invited by the residents to join activities, of which there's always something going on. Every night they have games or activities of some sort. They have a full dining room in the evening, and the food is wonderful with specials for the residents.

Carnegie Village Senior Living Community was beautiful. Everybody was very friendly and very helpful, but it was way overpriced. The apartments were awesome. They were very clean. I really liked the fact that there were washers and dryers within each apartment in the independent living side. They were very spacious. They had activities like dancing, card playing, bingo, and day trips.

I spent one day at Carnegie Village, and I was impressed by the facility and the amenities. It was clean and well-organized. They have several rooms, and I settled for a two bedroom unit. Their rooms are sizable and comparable to a regular home or apartment. All the staff I encountered were friendly. I will be moving there this July. They have three meals a day plus snacks throughout the day.

I like Carneigie Village. The apartments were very spacious with full kitchen. The overall facility was very clean and organized. They have a washer and dryer in their apartment. You can buy meals or not. It was very good. The only thing is that it didn’t have a pool. I was very impressed.

It looked very nice. The staff was very pleasant, and the people that live there seemed to be very happy. They were very helpful. The rooms were fine. They have a bus that takes the people places. They have a car service that take you to the doctors if you need it. It looked very secure. My main problem was the expense. I would recommend Carnegie Village if they can afford it, and I do have an acquaintance that lives there.

We're moving into the Carnegie Village on the 25th. We liked it. The rooms were very nice. We had lunch there, and it was very good. The dining area was more like a restaurant. They had cards and canasta, and they have an exercise room. There is a big pool table and a couple of men were playing.

Carnegie Village is beautiful and very nice. She is living in a studio apartment, and it is excellent. She has a small kitchen, a washer and dryer. It is a nice little place. Now this is all independent living, but the reason we chose it is because they have a nursing staff on duty. They take them out to theaters or different functions. I think they can take her to the doctor if she needs it. We are right here, so we just take her. They take her to anything that is coming up that she likes to go to. They have a big library. They have birthday party once a month for whoever's birthday is that month. It's been excellent, and I've been very happy with it. We went to a few other facilities, but once we found this, it's like we stopped looking.

They have a great facility at Carnegie Village. The apartments were big enough for two people, and I think their advantage is they have assisted living connected to independent living. So you could stay there longer and if you weren't as independent, you could just move on to assisted living as you needed to. And, their executive director is excellent. I liked the size of the apartments and the friendly employees that I met. I think they were very caring people and were very supportive of the people coming in.

I chose Carnegie Village for my mom, and she absolutely loves it. The staff there is super wonderful. The lady who is the general manager is wonderful. I live in another state, and every time I call her, she is accessible and immediately responds to me. My mother enjoys the dining room a lot. She goes to the dining room to eat most nights. She feels like she has excellent care. What she really loves, too, is that there is security. The people are not wandering in and out day and night. It is comfortable, and it is beautifully decorated. It is also right in the town where she has lived for the last 40 years. So that's where her church and all of her friends are located. They provide transportation for her doctor's appointments. They have a van that goes to the grocery store every week.

Mom is now at Carnegie Village. This is an excellent facility. They are conveniently close by, but mostly their nursing care is excellent. Everything is very wonderful and new. They put in new carpeting and paint before she went into her room. They have activities, and my mom just went on one of their field trips.

My husband and I are all set to go to Carnegie Village. Aside from the fact that we don't have to buy our meals when we're there, I also like that there is an assisted living and a nursing home facility attach to this place. My mother is 95 and so we can have her with us. Plus, should we need some respite from her, we could just place her in their respite care wing right down the hall. Regarding accommodation, we will have a spacious two-bedroom apartment, which is on the first floor. We have a bay window there. We don't have a patio-type of thing but since we are right next to the outside door, that's not a big issue for us. We have a small dog, so we are able to take her out. During our visit, we actually went into a little cafe that they have there and it was very good. We had lunch and the food was good as well.

Carnegie Village is a nice environment. It was friendly, it was clean, and they offer a lot of activities. Price-wise, it was best.

My wife stayed at Carnegie Village. It was a clean and modern facility. The atmosphere was light and cheerful. The staff treated my wife with care. I was really happy with the service.

The hallways smelled of urine each time I visited, and there were several residents in wheelchairs, who were alone in the halls, and unable to move themselves around.

Carnegie Villages have beautiful rooms and wonderful staff. It was truly a village. Everything you need is right there. We went over there several times and it was always lovely. The staff was incredibly generous with time and they were very friendly and outgoing. The rooms were spacious and lovely. Lots of sitting areas and different gathering areas. I would recommend this facility. My dad didn't end up moving there because it was expensive.

We placed my mother-in-law in Carnegie Village several years ago. This facility stood above the others in a variety of ways. The apartments were less institutationalized than most facilities. She has a full kitchen: range, microwave, dishwasher, full size refrigerator, and lots of kitchen storage. The dining facilities are very pleasant, and offer residents options regarding when they eat, and what they eat. There is a formal dining room, and "retro" diner for lunch. The rates at the facility are comparable to other homes in the area. There is a huge plantation style veranda on the back of the main building overlooking the city park. This is a place I could live when the time comes.

My mother lived at Carnegie Village for about 17 months, until a couple of weeks before her death. She previously lived at another facility, which was located in my home town, for about 7 years. The staff consistently dealt with her admittedly difficult personality with patience, encouragement, and good cheer. Transportation was available to doctor appointments and grocery stores, but my mother was confined to a scooter, so a van with a lift would have worked better. The meal plan, in which all meals were purchased, worked well for my mother. Facilities were kept clean, and the housekeeping staff was very helpful and friendly. The kitchen staff was also helpful and meals were good (I ate there several times). The physical plant was attractive; the facility backs up to a public park with many trees and is set well back from the busy street in front. Repairs were always accomplished promptly, and the staff willingly did extra chores for my mother, who had trouble remembering how to work her TV remote, etc. Carnegie was a good experience for my mother.
