Resident of the Month

Hailing from Santa Barbara, California, Carol’s life has always been marked by a profound dedication to helping others. She generously volunteered for five years with the Copperopolis Five Man Fire Department, serving as a CERT and a non-EMT first responder. Additionally, she spent two days a week at a local Hospice Thrift Store, managing the linen department, while her husband Frank, a semi-retired independent insurance broker, worked from home.
Carol’s move to Georgetown, TX, was orchestrated by her daughter, Kimberlee, who flew Carol from California to Texas, twice, to bring her closer. Yet, the final push came from an unexpected source: a casual chat at a garage sale with another Oscar resident! Impressed by the glowing reviews, Carol’s daughter quickly presented her with a brochure, and within two days, 

Carol was ready to sign her lease here at The Oscar.
Moving into senior living came with its anxieties for Carol, who worried about restrictions, costs, and losing her independence. As a widow, she also feared loneliness and not fitting in. However, The Oscar has proven all her worries wrong. “I’m happily surprised to be feeling alive again and feeling like I’ve found my tribe!” Carol exclaimed. “People make a choice to be happy or not, and I’ve found my happy people here.”
While Carol treasures her quiet days engrossed in a good book, she’s also thrilled to dive into almost all of The Oscar’s special events. From engaging music performances and comforting church services to thrilling mystery dinners, vibrant courtyard parties, creative art classes, and even unique olive oil infusions, she embraces it all. She especially loves our fun-filled costume cocktail happy hours! Outside of The Oscar, Carol continues her passion for volunteering at the serene Georgetown Rock Ride Center for kids and Veterans.

Carol’s family is a central part of her life. She and her husband, Frank, built a beautiful legacy with a combined 8 children, 9 grandchildren, and 8 great-grandchildren (and counting!).

We are so glad to have Carol’s warm presence and enthusiastic spirit enriching our community.
