I visited this facility

I was taken by the beauty. I applied and was offered two cottages-the least expensive buy ins. Though assets covered buy in and fees, I was denied at the last minute as I am 76 and they consider the worst case scenario--endless nursing and assisted living/underage. I was deeply mislead by the Sales Director. In other words, while 5x assets seems sufficient, do not waste your time at my age unless you have 3 million plus. I am hurt, wasted months of time and deeply disappointed.

If your relatives need nursing care look elsewhere. No reason to pay CWV prices for the poorly run and understaffed nursing unit at Carleton Willard.

I like the reputation, the staff, and the residents of Carleton-Willard Village, but they don't have a room available for Mom. The food is great, and the dining area is lovely. The staff is superb.

I visited this facility

Carleton Willard rooms and grounds were excellent. It’s very attractive and comfortable. My husband and I found it very warm. The woman we talked to was very friendly and accommodating. I have been in this place often and found that a lot of people who went to my church were living there. When we asked her what her waiting list looked like, she said the wait would be between one and three years. It’s in a nice town surrounded by places to walk, which is quite nice. There are little paths. I particularly liked that …
