Review of The Carillon at Boulder Creek

My grandparents moved into the Carillon from their condo in Miami almost a year ago, now. They are super happy, in fact I've never seen my grandfather smiling so much.

Also the staff cares about the residents and know them all by name and learn about everyone. In fact, my grandmother recently returned from the hospital, and the staff checked in on her every few hours to make certain all was well, even though they knew there were are givers dropping in, as well as family. That demonstrates a mentality where the well being of the residents takes priority, and isn't something you find everywhere.

Also, the event calendar is packed with a ton of activities, and they're well attended, too. There's often a wait list because the community here is very active.

My grandparents are constantly going out to shows and concerts, which they didn't do often before, even though they lived close to the theatre, because of terrible traffic and night driving.

The units are beautiful, spacious and smartly laid out. Internet hookups are available, and service has been very reliable for both tv and computer.

There's also a great selection of fitness and balance classes, and there's also classes and groups headed up by other residents. Apparently they also have monthly meetings with the residents where they listen to all the feedback and find out what might need improvement.

Having dealt with other retirement communities, both for my other grandmother as well as when scouting and info gathering this round, I can't recommend the Carillon highly enough.

One piece of advice - if you're interested, get on the waitlist now. It took about a year for the right sized unit to become available.
