Arvis Tanton
Mr. Tanton was appointed Administrator of Carriage House Manor in July 1992 and retired from that position in 2018. Prior to becoming a nursing home administrator, Mr. Tanton worked for State agencies having regulatory authority over nursing homes. Early in his career he fell in love with nursing home residents and developed a deep interest in their care. In October of 2000, Arvis and his wife Sheila purchased Carriage House Manor. Carriage House has grown to be the number one rehab and long term care facility in Sulphur Springs. In 2012 a dream came true when we opened the cottages. The Tantons were the first independent owners in Texas to build small home-like nursing and rehab facilities. “We are proud to offer Sulphur Springs such a unique long term care setting,” Mr. Tanton says. “We are grateful for everyone we have had the privilege to care for. Carriage House Manor has been a blessing to our family, and we hope it has been to those who have stayed with us, or may stay with us in the future.”

Dora Saldivar
Dora Saldivar joined the Carriage House family in 2009 following her move from North Carolina to Sulphur Springs. Her family of five has now made Sulphur Springs their home. Dora’s conscientious and thorough work helped her advance from a laundry employee at Carriage House to Housekeeping/Laundry Supervisor in 2013. Dora is particular in cleaning her own house so she is driven to provide the same cleanliness for our residents in their home. She said, “The residents make me laugh a lot and help me forget my troubles every day. It’s a joy to work with them.” When Dora first started working here, she could not speak English. However, she was determined to interact with the residents and learned English to do so. We believe that is a testament to her caring heart.
