New Additions
The Estates at Carpenters is a senior living community that has served the Lakeland, Florida, community for 35 years. Consistently, we’ve expanded our amenities, evolved our life-enrichment programs, created new living options, and elevated our senior care services. Still, we broaden our vision according to the changing needs and desires of residents.
Exciting new developments include:
Chapel: A tranquil space for residents to reflect and find peace in this sometimes chaotic world. Residents can start their morning in prayer, find sanctuary in stressful times, or assemble with a group for a service.
Expanded Dining Rooms: Both our private and formal dining rooms will be redesigned. New venues will be installed so residents can enjoy a hand-tossed pizza parlor and a hibachi grill, along with more traditional cuisine.
Sports Grill: An energetic gathering space for fun, camaraderie, and friendly fandom rivalry. Residents can get a bite to eat, watch the game, and connect with friends over a beer.
Along with these changes, indoor and outdoor communal spaces will be reimagined and enhanced to create an even more welcoming and comfortable environment.
