Having recently moved in, my husband and I have been very happy with our decision and pleased with how quickly we are<br>finding it to feel at home. It is comfortable and both the staff and fellow residents have been friendly and helpful. Still finding out about the opportunities and activities but very happy with the decision.

The Springs Assisted Living facility at Carmen Oaks is a remarkable place. I just spent Thanksgiving there with my special (almost 105 years old) cousin. It felt like home. The round table was set aside for us with a festive centerpiece, table cloth and napkins. All so nice. There were several courses leading up to the entry plate which was really, really good. The turkey was moist and tender and came with all the trimmings you could expect at home including green bean casserole. We all enjoyed the meal. I am grateful to Blair, the manager, for welcoming me and also allowing me to spend the nights there. She could know the value of this gesture as she did not hear my cousin say over and over, “I’m so glad you are here”. I am grateful to all the staff for their friendliness to me and for their commitment to our families. Thank you Blair, JoJo, Nancy, Charlie and many others whose names I do not recall…I appreciate all of you.

My mom was living at another Memory Care facility and when it was time to find a new place, there was a lot to consider since she had been in care for many years. We found The Springs at Carman Oaks through a neighbor's referral, and it has been perfect for her at this stage in her dementia journey. The staff is loving, thoughtful, thorough, and always checking in with us to ensure she has everything she needs to remain happy and comfortable. They gave us numerous ways to get a hold of them even when we're not there visiting, and it has really given us peace of mind during a big move. We're so grateful for their care of my mom and concern for our family.
