If you have always had a passion for life, retirement should be no different. At Carleton-Willard the richness of life continues with an almost limitless array of activities, recreation, and cultural and educational opportunities. Here, retirement is a time of growth, learning and expression, with programs and events for the mind, body and spirit. Enjoy a seminar or art class. Take an excursion to Boston's concerts, museums, galleries and historical sites. Continue or become newly involved in a favorite charity, fundraising effort or civic cause. Or simply relax with fine dining, gardening, or long strolls amid our 72 beautiful acres of woods and meadows. And you will enjoy all this with some of the best new friends you will ever make.

Our Residents make the village what it is.

Once you move in, you will quickly discover that Carleton-Willard is your community. One of the things that set us apart is the extent to which the Residents are involved in and make decisions that affect life here at The Village. Our Resident council doesn't just passively make suggestions - they oversee dozens of vibrant groups and committees that plan activities and trips, raise money for and dispense scholarships, run the General Store, help new Residents get acclimated, and much more. On any given day you may find a men's group meeting in the Billiards Room, our gardeners selecting the flowers that grace Main Street, or a walking group getting some exercise on one of the many Village trails.
