Carlton Village 4

Carlton Village 4 sits at 4179 North Garden View Circle in Tucson and is part of a group of small homes called Carlton Village 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, and 8, all meant for ten people at a time, so folks here never feel crowded and there's a sense that everyone kind of knows each other, and while it doesn't go by any fancy terms for their rooms, staff, or programs, the place does what it promises. Residents get help with daily things like bathing, dressing, taking medicine, and getting meals ready-meals come with options for people who have diabetes or need other special diets. The building's easy for folks to get around since it's wheelchair accessible and even pets are welcome, which some people really like. For people who have Alzheimer's or dementia, there's a special memory care area that tries to keep things calm and prevent anyone from wandering off, and that can put families' minds at ease. Residents get furnished rooms, cable TV, Wi-Fi, and there's a garden with outdoor space for fresh air, and things like housekeeping and laundry are covered so no one has to worry about chores. Staff are around to help with transfers if someone needs help moving from a chair to a bed or getting in the shower, and there's always someone to work with health care providers, set up transportation to and from medical appointments, and make sure everyone's medicine is managed right. Folks get some scheduled activities-things to keep busy, keep minds working, and meet neighbors. There's also help coordinating the move-in and teamwork to make the change smooth for new residents. The place supports temporary stays for people who need short-term care and helps out primary caregivers with respite care. Even though it doesn't get top marks, with a 4.9 out of 10, Carlton Village 4 does cover many basic needs for seniors by offering a safe, steady environment that focuses on comfort, support, and keeping residents as independent as they can be.
