I take my 91 year old dad out every day for a run-a-round. Today, I just wanted to simply "introduce" him in his wheelchair to the lobby of the Carlton. I had mentioned plans to do so to him the day before. He didn't want to tour. However he was OK with me just letting him see the lobby area. I signed in at the front desk. The woman at the desk asked if I set up a tour with the sales department. I said no and that I just wanted to take him around the entrance briefly. She said I couldn't. I replied so that my dad could hear that I am not signing up for a tour with the sales dept! I asked if I could just take him around here, (pointing to the lobby area). She replied no. That was unfortunate as this was my dad's first intro. with a senior living residence. I understand the need for resident's safety and guests checking in and etc. However, possibly allowing a 1-2 minute lobby tour, leaving ID or? would be a mutually beneficial idea.

My grandmother lived at Carlton for just over four years, at first living fairly independently and eventually needing the support of Memory Care. I visited often and was consistently impressed with the care my grandma received. The staff here truly seem to care about the residents. They have fun activities all the time, from field trips to crafts to movie nights to cooking demonstrations. The food is great, too. Grandma used to say it was like taking a cruise without the ocean. Toward the end of grandma’s life, her health was failing and the staff worked so hard encouraging her, bringing her meals to her room, bringing her to join in activities she could do, monitoring her health around the clock, etc. We couldn’t have asked for a better team than Memory Care these past few months. I know Grandma was happy and well cared for during her time at Carlton. It isn’t cheap, but you get what you pay for! I recommend Carlton to any senior citizen looking for a safe, beautiful, and fun place to live.

I met the team at a resource fair way back and enjoyed the resources and conversation. Ms. Dixon knows her stuff and was quite charming.
