Beautiful and welcoming community! All of the staff are wonderful and very attentive. Lots of daily activities and no complaints about the food! I appreciated how honest the Carriage Inn staff was about their pricing. No "hidden cost" :)

Carriage Inn at Lake Jackson was very good. I was pleased with it. I liked the atmosphere. The residents seemed to be in good spirits and happy. Everything was clean and well kept. The services seemed to be working well. They seemed to be well managed. I was shown some one- and two-bedrooms with plenty of space. They offered several different levels of care. The housekeeping was taken care of, and there was an in-house beauty shop. The staff was attentive with the residents.

Carriage Inn was very elegant. It was very nice. It was like a very fancy hotel. They have a limousine that carries the people around town to do their shopping. The staff was very cooperative and extremely friendly. I have worked with the afterschool program and every Christmas we take our children there to sing and to do a little play for the residents when they come to eat their meals. We have been doing that so long, they know us very well. The apartments were kind of an open concept, bright and cheery with built-ins. I have not eaten there, but I have observed what they get there and it's very nice. Whenever we come, the kitchen always provides cookies and treats for the children and that's very nice. It is all homemade, not store bought. The dining area was like sort of going to a cafeteria with round tables. It was like an open concept. They can see out the back windows to the back gardens and they can see out the front windows to the street. There is a fireplace that they can see from where they're sitting. I would love to eat there. They have activities probably more than anybody can handle. They play games and they have special speakers come and give program. I would definitely recommend this place to others.

My mother has been a resident of the Carriage Inn for several years now. I have eaten there and spent the night there. I have met several of the workers there. The workers are clean and well dressed and they help my mother stay clean and well dressed. They also make sure she gets the correct medicine and on time. The grounds are well groomed and cleaned regularly. The food is tasty and of sufficient calorie content to be nutritious. The people who work there are friendly and personablle. The clients are offered plenty of activities and the place has a social atmosphere.My mother seems to enjoy living there and seldom wants to leave. I can't think of any negative experiences there.
