Our Culture
Carefield was founded on the idea that we could build something different. It began with the desire to apply our past experience with hospitality properties to senior living communities. In applying that experience, we discovered that it's not the physical spaces that define a true community but the connections that form between the people that call it home. This simple revelation now lies at the heart of everything we build.
What does it mean to build a connected community? What role can we play in forming those deep connections that are so important? These are questions that we ask ourselves every day.
We have carefully designed each of our amenities and programs to encourage residents, friends, family and our staff to interact, enjoy each other’s company and be energized by the beauty and vitality of life. We aim to empower and motivate older adults to chart their own course for a vibrant, meaningful and satisfying future.
Our Values
Our Community
Carefield Living focuses on the needs and desires of our residents, their families and friends, our Carefield staff, and the community at large.
Meaningful Activity
Carefield Living views positive and holistic activities as a primary means of achieving health and happiness. We encourage physical, mental, social and spiritual development by providing a supportive environment for activity.
Revitalization
Carefield Living believes that receiving compassionate assistance from someone who really knows you, while retaining your independence is the key to maintaining a zest for life.
Enjoyment of Life
Carefield Living communities aspire to be a center for the enjoyment of life. We want to offer an exciting, varied, memorable experience that can be enjoyed every day. Laughter, music, great food, good conversation, a nature walk, movies, live entertainment, games, or a shopping trip should all be within easy reach.
Dining & Culinary Experience
We eat well! The service and presentation of a meal can be as important as the food when creating a dining experience. Our chefs’ plate and present each meal in a way that makes it as beautiful as it is delicious.
Delicious and nutritious, your freshly prepared meals are served three times daily in our dining room. You are able to select a tantalizing daily special or choose a favorite from the regular menu. Upon request, our chefs can also provide alternative meals and snacks to accommodate unique dietary needs. You and your family members are always welcome to stay for gatherings, birthdays, anniversaries or special surprises.
Every great meal starts with the freshest ingredients, and our chefs work with suppliers to source the freshest meats, seafood, produce and other ingredients that they can get. From elaborate feasts to a simple sandwich, each meal is carefully prepared by a professional chef in our community's kitchen. Tell us what you'd like to eat!
