FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS.

Will I be able to bring my cat or dog with me when I move in?
We understand that pets are beloved members of your family, and we’re happy to welcome them to Caroline Place retirement home. However, we do expect that you will take full responsibility for your pet, feeding, caring and walking it as required. We do have some policies regarding pets to ensure that they are a good fit for our seniors community. Please ask about our pet policies before bringing your pet to live with you in your new home.

What if I want to have family in for dinner?
Family and friends are welcome to join you for a meal anytime. We ask that you notify the Front Desk so that they may ensure that a table is set up for your company. Payment may be arranged through our Front Desk.
-
Can I have a family member stay with me?
Family and friends from out of town are welcome to enjoy a “hotel stay” with us, which will include meals at very reasonable rates, provided there is a suite available at that time. If you have adequate extra space in your suite, you are welcome to have a short-term guest stay for a limited amount of time. For fire and safety purposes we ask that you notify us of the arrival and departure dates of your guest.
-
Do I have to sign a lease?
We ask all residents to sign a lease in order to ensure everyone is aware of their rights and the standards of the Retirement Residence. At that time, the charges for all services will be explained to you and you will be provided with a written copy for reference. Please note, you are not held to a long-term lease at any time, and we will request only 30 days notice if you wish to leave Caroline Place Retirement Residence for any reason.
