  • 3Could you tell us more about the dining experience and how much input residents have regarding the daily menus?
  • 4What is the protocol for handling medical emergencies or sudden changes in health during the night?

Key Review Excerpts

The love and attention she received from the care partners, medication techs, other staff and leadership team far exceeded my expectations.

They took great care of him while he was alive, and when the time came they bent over backwards to makeensure we could be by his side the whole time.

Family of a deceased resident · 2023★★★★★

My mom moved into the Oak Ave. Carlton Memory Care wing in Aug 2022 and she passed away one year ago today peacefully in her sleep, surrounded by the campus's majestic oak trees and under the compassionate care of the entire Carlton organization.
