My visit was delightful. The facility was attractive. The suite I saw was very comfortable and light filled (important to me). There was a range of activities going on. I was very pleased and impressed.

Carlisle Ivy

The Carlisle itself is an inviting well-kept building. The apartments that I saw were spacious and interesting--in previous years owners made changes that worked for them so not cookie cutter. [name removed], the marketing director is very good at his job.

Great Place for loved one

The staff is absolutely wonderful. They make you feel welcomed, at home and included in the community. The residents are really supportive and friendly. My loved one has made a number of friends, in a short period of time.

I would recommend

We chose The Carlisle because of the location, the quality of the facility, and the friendliness of the staff members. They were very easy to work with from the get go. Residents have all been very welcoming. The apartment sizes are good, she has a 1 bedroom and it is good size with a big closet. It is a very nice facility, but they did just increase the rent about $500 a month which is a big change. Overall I would recommend to others looking as long as you are able to afford it.

Good Move

I would tell others that it is a very nice, friendly community to move into. It was a good move for me. They have games, lectures, exercise classes, take you on walks, movies, and other activities for the residents to choose from.
