What this means for your family
This facility is an excellent choice for families seeking a way to keep spouses together through the early stages of dementia due to their unique transitional care model. However, you should closely vet their policies regarding billing and move-out procedures during bereavement, as some families have found their financial practices insensitive during difficult times.

Key Review Excerpts
“One of the reasons we chose the Carlton over others was that they offer a transitional model of care for dementia residents…which means that our mom (who has dementia) can actually live with my dad (who doesn’t) in the regular area”
“The staff seem to know how to defuse each occasional difficult situation without infringing on the residents' dignity.”
“I was prepared to not like this place. In fact I was ready to really, really not like this place. But as we wandered around, every one of the folks whom we met, either resident or employee, said 'I hope that you decide to live here.'”
