My mom is a resident in memory care at Carleton Gardens. I moved her there from another facility. They are AMAZING people. The love, attention. and care the caregivers provide my mom is second to none. The level of engagement everyone (caretakers, kitchen staff, housekeeping, administration) give to the residents is wonderful. They have a great group of people that are passionate about helping the residents and families navigate through this sometime difficult journey. The wellness director helped me through getting my mom into hospice, which I would not have known anything about were it not for her. Nikki is an wealth of knowledge and always available to share it. The housekeeping staff is always around cleaning rooms or doing laundry. The facility is impeccable. All the meals are homemade. No pre-made food just heated up. I would recommend this facility and group of people to anyone contemplating assisted living for yourself or a loved one.

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!
