Ive seen a number of assisted living facilities, and the Carlton is head and shoulders above any other place Ive visited. My father has been there for a year and a half now, and the excellent staff has done everything they can think of to make his time enjoyable. Even during the pandemic, when family and friends cant visit and they cant allow their outside entertainers and exercise leaders and so forth, they have been very imaginative about fun but safe activities, everything from socially distanced hallway exercise classes to door decorating contests. I recommend them highly.

My aunt experienced a life changing fall that required her to move to Senior living. She had visited a friend at Carlton in San Leandro for years and so knew this was where she wanted to go. She was in the Assisted living side for only a month before she was diagnosed with dementia. The management and staff gave us exceptional guidance, help and emotional support during that time. The Memory Care side was equally well run. It was a much smaller environment, which with dementia is comforting and the staff could interact with all the residence easily. When it came time for Hospice, she was cared for with incredible respect and compassion. I always felt she was safe (and I visited frequently). I never regretted the decision of placing her at Carlton San Leandro. I am so grateful to the management and staff. Without their help and knowledge, the stress would have been overwhelming.

Carlton Senior Living San Leandro was good and their location was great. one of the things I didn’t like there is I have a power chair and they allow power chairs, but they don't like them. I didn't want to be restricted from using my power chair. The staff was very helpful and very good though. I had an excellent lunch there.

I'm going to put my mom into Carlton Senior Living San Leandro next month. The rooms were nice. They showed me a small studio and a large studio. They're far bigger than the other places I visited, especially for the price. Everything was nice. They have a whole program that is just right for my mother compared to other places. They have games, Bingo, concerts, and programs. They serve three meals a day. They have an area where the residents can come and have snacks. They will transport my mom to her appointments. They also have a beauty salon. It was very nice. They have a lot of good things right there. The staff was very informative, very professional, and very consistent. I loved how they treated me versus everywhere else.

My grandpa lived here many years ago for approximately 4 years while he was suffering from dementia. Sad time for the family but the staff at this community are exceptional human beings and took such great care of him. They would play the old music and movies from his early years and he'd perk up and several times I remember him getting up and dancing with the staff. Even though he was nearing the end of his life at this point, he was truly in the best care possible. I will be forever grateful for this... I also remember the community always being festive and all kinds of activities for the residents to partake in. I truly wish this for every senior, dementia or no dementia, just a happy place to be.

Happy Visitor

When you first walked in to Carlton Senior Living San Leandro, it had a resort-y feel to it. This place was much larger and busier. They have lots of activities going on and lots of people moving around. The rooms were reasonable, but to me, it felt like a hotel room. The dining area looked interesting. They have a little area on the side where you can get coffee and ice cream. It was set up like a coffee bar and very nice. They have a nice sitting area in the front.

Carlton Senior Living San Leandro has excellent variety and very well prepared good food. There is a very good cook in that place. I think the expense is well worth it because of the service, the food, and the care. Mom is in a shared room in the memory care, but it's OK. It was a bit small, but it has large windows and lots of space to put things up to make it feel like home. The place has beautiful furniture and a good layout. It is open enough for them to feel that they're not trapped. It has all kinds of different spaces for different things. It is very nice, and I like it. There's no problem that they don't talk over with me. They're very hands-on, and the staff is very loving.

Carlton Senior Living San Leandro seemed nice, but it was just located on a busy street. The staff was nice, and the rooms were nice, but I needed more space. They have a lot of activities. The people were friendly, and the place was well kept. It looked like they have more activities for people who are independent.

My mom has been at Carlton Senior Living San Leandro for two months. During my brief time with them, they were very attentive to my mother. They always call me if they have a question and let me know when she needs personal things that I usually bring there. They are only five minutes away from my house. She doesn’t swallow as well with the medicine, so they asked me first, then called the doctor and got an order from him to smash up the medicine. They are doing what they’re supposed to do very well and she likes it there. She has a roommate in the memory care section, so they’re always with her. The food is delicious. They have their own patio on their side. They bring them over daily to the assisted living side when they have activities there, like music or someone coming in to play the piano or entertainment. Every Wednesday, the memory care section goes out in a van for a scenic tour. They keep them busy with arts and crafts and different things. I’m going to my first event there called the Candlelight Black and White Dinner that they do that in the memory section every three months.

Carlton Senior Living San Leandro is a nice place, centrally located, and seems like a good fit. We've seen some of the studio rooms and some of them were kind of small. They have one-bedrooms also, but I don't think there were many of them. They were accommodating and provide three meals a day. You could go down any time to get something to eat if you want to. They have activities, movies, and things like that. It is a pretty nice environment.

I did a tour Carlton Plaza of San Leandro, and it was beautiful. The place is very clean and well kept. The people who are staying there were very clean and they looked like they are having a really nice time. The staff knew everybody's name and everybody looked extremely comfortable. There were a lot of amenities for the residents. There is a little café for them that they can get snack at any time. They also have a beautiful central room where they could all watch TV or talk or read books. I was also thinking I would love to live there myself. I looked at 2-bedroom space that was empty at the time. It has air conditioning and it was very light and airy. It has windows that you could open. Their halls were extremely wide so that people can get by with their walkers or wheelchairs if they need to. I saw the dining room and it looked like a restaurant. It's really clean with beautiful tables and chairs.

Carlton Plaza of San Leandro was absolutely lovely. It was everything my father would have loved. It was a lovely setting, and he absolutely adored it. They had a wonderful restaurant. The people were gracious. When you walked in, they all greeted you as if you were family. They reminded me of a five-star hotel, but with a family twist. The dining area had also like a little cafe where you could all daylong have popcorn, cookies, fruits, coffee, cocoa, and all that. They had tons of activities. I would say they had 20 boards of activities that everybody could do on a daily basis. They had a lovely garden area. Oh my God, the garden area was so pretty! It not only had places to lay out, but if you wanted to sit on a lounger, you could sit and chat. It had a little area for golf. The rooms were beautiful. They were well appointed and wonderful rooms. They were very well set up, and the way it was set up, everybody looked down on the garden area. They also had a bubbly dining area if you wanted to have a private party, and it had a separate kitchen. They had two areas to watch, whether it was TV or movies, and my father loved the food.

Stopped in to have lunch with grandma. Great meal, the soup was to die for. In a nutshell, I truly believe it's a beautifully run assisted living community. And grandma is happy, that's what really matters. Thank you!

I was on a family vacation last week when decided to drop by the Carlton Senior Apartments to check on my old relative. And let me confess it in no other way, these people are like little angels on the earth. The guys are doing a phenomenal job – taking care of old people like no other can in this world. Like seriously, my relative was looking nothing but blithe! I had never seen her so happy and content ever before, thanks Carlton.

Nobody understands the significance of independence for seniors as much as these guys do. Seriously, Carlton is doing a wonderful job – helping elder people live a positive, enthusiastic life. My mother has been staying here in their independent living facilities and I must say, she has changed so much for better.

This assisted living facility is in a large and quite fancy building, near the downtown area"”and easy for visitors to get to, although not a super beautiful location. The food is good, but unremarkable. Nice atmosphere that feels welcoming because of the friendliness of the staff and attention given to the decor. The staff is well trained and friendly, and all of them seem to provide good care that is in tune with the residents' needs. They seem to be on top of things"”to know what to look for and how to interact with residents and assess their needs. There is also a social services staffer on hand for those who need that kind of care and attention. I would recommend it to those looking in that area because the residents are treated with dignity and seem to be genuinely cared about.
