Wendy K (Daughter)

My mother has been living in the Memory Care side of The Carlisle for a little over a year and is living her best life. She is always smiling, participates in all the activities, and genuinely seems happy. The staff are fantastic people who obviously care and really put my mind at ease.

Over the past year, there have been some positive changes that make me even happier with The Carlisle. Every 2 weeks, they bring in dolls that look very much like babies and pass them around for all to hold. It’s been very popular. They also take residents who are interested in venturing out for ice cream or various other thoughtful activities that provide stimulation in a safe way.

One of the best additions over the last 6 months or so is a support group for those who have loved ones at The Carlisle. We meet virtually each month to discuss various topics, share any struggles and provide guidance to each other. There is nothing like talking with others who know exactly what you are going through and have their loved one living in the same facility. There are so many emotions for those who care for someone with dementia…sadness, guilt, love, fear, anger, etc….meeting with this support group is very validating of all those emotions and has truly made a difference for me.

There is no doubt in my mind that my mother is at the very best place for her and that is all that matters.
