How do I select a community that is right for me?
Finding the community that meets your personal needs or that of a loved one is not to be taken lightly. Prior to making the decision, a tour should be taken to meet the staff and see how they operate. The physical appearance is an additional consideration and the community should be clean and free of odors. Looking for a community that offers quality care, with experienced management and friendly staff are areas that should also be explored. At Carlton Senior Living, we pride ourselves on having a track record for providing exceptional service. In 2008, the Assisted Living Federation of America (ALFA) awarded Carlton Senior Living it’s “Best of the Best” award, a national recognition reserved for the nation’s most innovative and effective business practices in the senior living industry and was profiled in the June issue of Assisted Living Executive.

Can you prevent residents from falling?
Unfortunately, no. It is extremely important to know that no community or even nursing home can prevent a resident from falling. With the aging process there is a heightened risk of falls. Our team of professionals at Carlton Senior Living decided to take a proactive approach knowing that so many seniors face this risk every day. As a result of their efforts, they were recognized for their Fall Awareness Program, which was developed by physical therapist Karen Beernink-Engle, the spouse of Carlton Senior Living owner Don Engle. As part of the new program, all current residents underwent risk assessments, including medications analysis and fall histories, and received individualized action plans that feature goals and strategies for achieving them. Each Carlton Senior Living community was examined for environmental hazards that needed to be eliminated or reduced.
