The Foundation
The HCNF Vision
This Foundation grew out of a vision that older individuals in New Mexico, sage-agers, should live fulfilling lives with opportunities as engaged members of their communities. It is a vision that builds well-being and positive aging into the fabric of seniors’ lives.
Haverland Carter Neighborhood Foundation and Haverland Carter itself bring a wealth of experience in the age-related field, an outstanding reputation for creating and maintaining state of the art living communities and assisted living facilities in New Mexico, Colorado, and Oklahoma, and as a result the organization is devoted entirely to advancing the overall well-being and positive aging experience of aging members of our population.
