Program areas at Carlyle Place
Carlyle Place (cp) is a life plan community (formerly ccrc) offering a fulfilling lifestyle experience in both residential and "at home" settings, emphasizing healthy, active lifestyles from retirement until the end of life. There are four lifestyle options offered on campus by cp: independent living, assisted living, memory support and skilled nursing. Residents are assured of having their needs met - from retirement through their end-of-life experience, all on one campus and with no need to relocate outside the community. Couples who have varying degrees of Health needs may receive as little or as much assistance as needed and remain in close proximity to each other. Carlyle Place is committed to providing a quality life experience in the best environment possible, depending upon need. On site security and a twenty-four-hour emergency call system provide residents peace of mind as help is merely a pull-cord away.

The impact of non-quantifiable contributions Carlyle Place has on the greater middle Georgia area can be subdivided into the following eight areas: advocacy, community involvement, conduit for using donations, economic impact, good neighbors, responding to needs, social impact and volunteer activities. The following narrative describes the programs and volunteerism of our residents and staff members contributing to these areas.advocacy: Carlyle Place offers volunteer hours to the alzheimer's association. Community involvement: Carlyle Place employees are active members of other community boards and committees, offering service to the surrounding community. Some examples of these civic agencies include: leading age, Georgia college & state university music therapy department, mercer university and rotary club of north macon.conduit for using donations: Carlyle Place offers opportunities for the residents, staff and members of the community to participate in quarterly projects. Each of the projects has a list of items for donation to the following agencies: daybreak, family advancement ministries, macon rescue mission, loaves & fishes, macon's warming center and sonny carter elementary. Through numerous recruitment opportunities and social media, the community is invited to participate in our projects. In addition, fundraisers are held through special events to raise money for the alzheimer's association. Several years ago, a resident assistance fund was established to receive memorial and honorarium donations on behalf of our residents. The fund has grown to the point that we were able to provide ongoing financial assistance to some of our residents who have outlived their financial resources.economic impact: Carlyle Place, being a life plan community, attracts seniors from all over the country to relocate to the middle Georgia area. The residents purchase locally and utilize the healthcare services available to Central Georgia. Offering a continuing service to the aging population addresses the needs of seniors throughout the remaining years of life. The community encourages local purchasing and investing in entertainment by offering transportation to community events, retail facilities, and healthcare agencies.good neighbors: Carlyle Place management encourages residents to recycle various items by offering pickup services at each resident's home on a weekly basis. The residents have organized a recycling service which picks up recycled items door to door and places them in the single stream recycling container acquired through advanced disposal. In addition, residents participate in annual call for larger recyclables (electronics, tvs, cell phones, etc.) Which are collected and distributed to businesses and organizations to be disposed of properly. Donations can be made by residents to the local goodwill industries through our facility services department; this encourages the recycling of household goods rather than the items ending up in the landfill. During the refurbishment process, items in working condition are salvaged from some of the residences and donated to local housing service providers such as macon rescue mission. Intergenerational engagement opportunities were offered to students of the following local schools and agencies: first presbyterian day school, north macon presbyterian day school, northway church preschool, sonny carter, stratford academy, mercer university, and Georgia college & state university. Responding to needs: the middle Georgia area has a significant number of individuals who are homeless. In response to the needs of the homeless population, the residents gathered supplies to be sent to daybreak and macon's warming center.
