Living Options and Care Levels

Carleton Place Terrace supports residents across several stages of aging, making it possible for many people to stay in one place even as their needs change over time. Independent Living is designed for seniors who want the freedom to live life on their own terms while enjoying the social and practical benefits of a retirement community. Residents have their own private suite and access to shared spaces, activities, and dining, all without the responsibilities of maintaining a home. Assisted Living provides personalized, day-to-day support for those who need a little extra help with routines such as bathing, dressing, medication reminders, or meal preparation. Care is available around the clock, delivered by a professional team that treats every resident with kindness and respect. Residents can choose the level of support that fits their situation, and that support can be adjusted as needs evolve. Memory Care offers a safe, structured environment for seniors living with Alzheimer’s disease or other forms of dementia. The setting is calm and secure, and the approach is personalized to honour each resident as an individual. Staff are experienced in dementia care, and programming includes cognitive enrichment activities designed to support mental engagement and emotional well-being. Respite Care provides short-term stays for seniors who are recovering after a hospital visit or surgery, whose regular caregiver needs a break, or who simply want to experience community life before making a longer-term decision. During a respite stay, guests enjoy the same meals, programs, and warm atmosphere as long-term residents.
