More for the Money

The square footage for the money was very good and the best for us. The size of the apartment living is great. It is lovely and decorating is very nice as well. I highly recommend the community to others for their loved ones, and have already recommended the community in the past to friends. The portion size of meals could be a bit larger. Most of the meals are pretty good. It would be nice to see the consistency of items offered to all the residents and to make sure they have enough quantity of items.

Centrally Located

This is very economical compared to another community I was at in the past. Everyone has been very friendly and helpful. I have really enjoyed it here. The meal service has been very good. They have anytime dining. They only serve until 5:30 in the evening. The menu has choices for the residents to choose from. There is variety to the meals. There are three meals included. The apartment has a washer and dryer in the unit. There is a full kitchen minus the dishwasher in the unit as well.

They Do Very Good

I would recommend the place. First of all, it's new. The apartments look fine. With the exception of the guy who is supposed to help people set up TVs and computers, everybody else on staff is very, very nice. And the kitchen people can apparently deliver food to the rooms quite efficiently for those people who can't make it to the dining room for whatever reason.

My Review of The Carlstone Independent Senior Living

The facility is very clean and well maintained. My apartment is spacious and I love the layout. The food is healthy and delicious. The kitchen and dining staff are the best. They take time to make our plates look appealing as well as tasting great. Our management and staff are great and our residents are all fun and thoughtful and kind. I love living here.

Since living here, staff has met request consistently well. They are excellent communication. Meals are excellent and again if a different request is made, it is met. Facility is always clean & activities are planned & information given freely.

my review of The Carlstone Independent Senior Living

I moved in [date removed]. I enjoy living here very much. The staff is fantastic and I would recommend this apartment complex. Three meals daily and eat anytime. I am able to receive transportation even though I am still able to drive. Housekeeping once a week and plenty of activities daily for seniors.

Highly recommend

The place is amazing and we absolutely love it. I would give it more than a 5 if I could. I have eaten the food and it is wonderful, better than any restaurant around here. They are chef prepared meals and I would tell others if they get the chance to try their carrot cake. I have really gotten to know the staff they are incredible, they make everything so easy. The facility itself is always clean. I would recommend it 100 times over, I have nothing bad to say about them.

The staff here is great. They go above and beyond to make this place great. The food here is VERY good. Rooms are very nice. And being that it's new, they are in great shape. They have lots of things to do. And once a month they put on a very special meal.
