Overview of Carson Valley Senior Living

Carson Valley Senior Living provides assisted living and memory care in Gardnerville, Nevada. Assisted living includes help with daily tasks such as dressing, bathing, and medication while the resident keeps a private room. Memory care provides a secured setting with supervision for someone who may be at risk of wandering, and having both levels of care in one community may suit a resident whose needs grow over time.

In the Gardnerville Ranchos neighborhood, the community offers private rooms, giving each resident a single personal living space. The starting price is $5,200, which gives families an initial budgeting figure before the applicable care level is identified. Carson Valley Senior Living opened in 2024, and Tamra Marie Tsanos serves as director.

Pets are allowed, so a resident can continue living with a pet. Residents can use the on site salon and spa, senior fitness center open around the clock, upper level outdoor terrace, and fully fenced dog park. Scheduled local transportation supports travel to errands or appointments without arranging an independent ride, while dining includes curated menu options and programs include Elevate dining, Vibrant Life activities, Generations memory care, and Just Getting Started.
