The Carmel Foundation

Eighth and Lincoln, Carmel (831) 624-1588, carmelfoundation.org

Seniors. They vote early and they vote in numbers. And maybe that’s why The Camel Foundation is a perennial favorite in this “Best Hangout for Them” category. There’s respect and camaraderie and communication to be found, along with art classes and workshops and book groups and garden club and movie days and treks around the area. Most importantly, for about 3,400 seniors, it’s a home away from home.
