The Carleton is a senior living community for folks 55 and older, set in a lively neighborhood close to shops, places to eat, and fun spots, and it's got some nice, modern touches if you're looking for comfort and a bit of style without fuss. The apartments come in one, two, and three-bedroom layouts, all with roomy floor plans-sizes run from 933 to 1,957 square feet-so there's a fair amount of space, and you get high-end finishes and materials through the rooms, with large closets, washer and dryer hookups, private balconies, and fireplaces in select units. Some apartments even have screened porches where you can sit and enjoy the view. If you have pets, you're allowed up to two, cats or dogs, as long as they're between 25 and 35 pounds, and there's a pet fee that's non-refundable-$400 for one, $600 for two, with some breed rules.
The Carleton offers a mix of care types, including independent living, assisted living, and memory care, so people dealing with Alzheimer's or other dementias have support and special programs for their needs. There's also home care with trained aides, and the community's set up to help people stay independent, safe, and comfortable. Meals get planned by chefs with focus on healthy, good-tasting ingredients, and residents eat in a dedicated dining room under a chandelier if they want.
There are plenty of amenities aimed at making life, as they say, "lifestyle-enhancing," so folks have a swimming pool, fitness area, community clubroom, salon and spa services right there, and communal spaces to gather and socialize. Each week brings coffees, bingo Tuesdays, a Friday night social once a month, and special luncheons for holidays. Living here means you've got the basics covered too-housekeeping and maintenance, two elevators, covered parking in a gated community, basic cable, front door garbage pickup twice a week, 24-hour emergency on-call service, and a courtesy consultant around for help or answers. They also offer transportation for getting out and about. The Carleton allows residents to have some independence, but there's always someone available if issues arise, and the friendly, helpful staff are known for their kindness. The grounds stay well-tended, and residents can enjoy scenic patio and balcony views. The Carleton keeps things clean, comfortable, and feels welcoming for both residents and their visitors, without trying to be overly fancy-just focused on comfort, safety, and convenience in a modern space.
