Our Perspective
When committing your loved one to long-term care, you want to be assured that the people watching over them will provide compassionate, diligent, professional care. Expect exactly that from Agecare Carlton. It’s a community with a tradition of hiring and training excellent staff. You’ll also find the facilities here to be very modern.
AgeCare Carlton underwent a major renovation in 2012, under the previous ownership. This renovation resulted in very modern, updated amenity spaces, including lounges, ideal for seniors to share with visiting families and friends. It’s a very modern space, which helps seniors here feel daily rejuvenation, and the addition of fully contemporary accessibility features (like handrails, etc.) as well as extra-wide hallways puts the building above other long-term care communities in the area. There’s also a lovely outdoor space for people to take in some fresh air. In the summer of 2022, the building was sold to AgeCare, a company that generates positive reviews at other communities throughout Canada.
The best thing about AgeCare Carlton is the staff. Families credit them with treating each and every resident with respect, empathy, and compassion. Families form a special bond with staff members. Residents also praise staff, right down to the housekeepers, who go above and beyond the call of duty. The COVID crisis of 2020 was a litmus test for long-term care communities. During this time, AgeCare was singled out by families for the community’s diligence in communication and keeping seniors safe.

"My mom has been here since 2017. As her health deteriorates we have seen nothing but empathy and kindness from the staff. Communication between the care home and our family (siblings included) on our mom’s health is extremely important. The staff has done an excellent job. My sisters and I cannot thank the staff enough with their efforts to keep everyone safe during these difficult times. It is reassuring to know that our mom is being taken care with knowledgeable and kind-hearted staff.
