My mother has been living at Carnegie East House for the past three years and we could not be happier. The staff is kind and caring, the facilities are excellent, and there is always something fun going on. My mother has made some great friends here and never feels lonely. I feel a huge sense of relief that my mom is at Carnegie now and not living at home alone anymore. It's up on 96th so it's not the easiest to get to but since she doesn't get out too much anymore, it's not such a big deal.
