The level of commitment and care from the top-down from this organization is by far head and shoulders above everybody else.

I met the amazing staff at a car show/vendor event they put on at Gardens of Carleton. What a FUN experience to say the least! You can tell they really care about their residents! They seem to engage in a lot of fun activities to keep up the spirits of their residents. I was a vendor; among others, and we got to enjoy a DJ, Classic cars, a dance performance by the “Pink Ladies” and interact with so many kind, friendly people. Thank you for caring!
