Carlton Hollow Senior Apartments sits at 2000 Carlton Way in Ballston Spa, NY, and offers a living space for adults age 55 and older who want a place with a good mix of freedom, comfort, and activities, and with the option to bring pets if they like, dogs and cats are both allowed, though some rules may apply. The apartments come with nine-foot ceilings, private balconies, open floor plans, central air and heat, in-unit washer and dryer, granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, and breakfast bars, and the kitchenpantries offer decent food storage, so each unit feels bright and practical, with sizes from 990 to 1,241 square feet and layouts for one or two bedrooms, including The Springs (1 bed, 1 bath), The Putnam (2 beds, 1 bath), and The Ballston (2 beds, 2 baths), and up to four people can live in a two-bedroom unit, which works well for couples or those who want to share with a friend or family member.
Residents stay active with the indoor saltwater pool, a two-story indoor pickleball court, a fitness center, and a sauna, so there's plenty to do indoors year-round, especially in the colder months, and the community rooms include a library, billiards room, movie theater, games room, lounge, and a clubhouse for gatherings. Outside, there's an outdoor covered patio that looks over a picnic and barbecue area, giving folks a space for cookouts or just relaxing in the fresh air, and parking is available for residents, with transportation offered for a fee. The apartments are designed for people who are generally independent and healthy, but the community offers different levels of care, like medication management, respite care for short stays, and other support, so help is there if you need it even if most people live pretty freely.
The place is managed by Sunrise Management & Consulting, and staff help with review verification and also offer free advice to families trying to pick the right living option, and while prices aren't public, information comes by email if you reach out on their website. Carlton Hollow sits near Saratoga Springs and popular places like the Spa State Park, the Performing Arts Center, the Casino Hotel, and the National Museum of Dance, so you can get to local spots without much trouble for extra trips or entertainment. The planned activities and holiday parties help with socializing, and the staff speak several languages, including English, making it easier for everyone to get settled. Seniors looking for a balance of independence, social opportunities, and a safe, modern place to live might find what they want here, and since there are independent and assisted living, memory care, home care, respite care, adult day services, long-term care, skilled nursing, and hospice care also listed as services, you can get the support you need as things change, or stay as active and private as you like, without much fuss. The doors are open on weekdays from 08:30 to 17:00, and tours are by appointment for those thinking about moving in, and there's no pressure since the whole thing is meant to be easy, flexible, and based on whatever level of support makes the most sense for each person.
