My grandmother was at [Carleton Place Terrace] for a couple of years before having to move into long-term care. It was an excellent experience for her, she was very isolated on her own in her home prior and we were shocked at how social she became, eating her meals with new friends and participating in activities especially arts and crafts.

My parents recently moved into the Terrace and were welcomed from day one with open arms. They have been treated with respect and dignity and seem to be very attentive. They have a lovely suite with ample room to move around with walkers. There are enough social activities to get them out of their room during this lock down times and keep them engaged. The protocols for visitors with the pandemic are stricter than some other residences it seems, but it's keeping them all safe so I appreciate the extra effort the staff are putting in. All in all a positive experience so far.

My mom has been here for a few years now. The staff are all friendly and caring. It hit me hard when I dropped my mom back at the residence after being in the hospital for 2 weeks. Everyone was soooo excited to see her, my mom has been a difficult client at times, so I was surprised at the outpouring of love! I would recommend the Terrace for your loved ones!

My mother has been living at the Carleton Place Terrace for a few months now. It was a hard decision, but it was made so much easier by the kind and caring staff. They have been so helpful with the whole process, and have made things so easy and seamless. I know that my Mom is safe and is being so well-cared for. She raves about the food and she loves all of the opportunities to listen to music. She enjoys her daily walks in the courtyard and speaks often of Angel, the resident pup! Her room is lovely and she is very comfortable there.

I am grateful for the care that my parents are receiving at The Terrace in Carleton Place. Staying in the community where they have resided for many years was important to them. The staff are attentive and compassionate and have gone 'over and above' especially during this difficult season. Many have made great personal sacrifices to keep residents of The Terrace comfortable. I know that my parents are safe and cared for.
