I liked Carlton Senior Living San Jose the best of all of them. They were having a tea party when I got there. All of the residents were sitting around drinking tea and eating cookies, and they were all laughing and conversing like they were family. The administrator was absolutely adorable. She answered all my questions and showed me the rooms and everything. It was definitely topnotch. They had cut flowers, and there's the smell of roses when you exit the elevators (instead of urine like at other places). The staff was great. The facility was absolutely beautiful. They have a garden where they have tomatoes and vegetables growing and it's all done by the residents. They had a really nice theater with a big screen and big chairs, and it was very comfortable. It's like going to the best movie theater in town. They had a full kitchen in their activities room and one of the residents was making biscuits. My mom would absolutely adore that because the one thing she doesn't like is any place that doesn't have a kitchen in the room. Their physical therapy program also looked very good.

Mother is at Carlton Senior Living, and we're actually very happy with it. We liked it, it's a beautiful place, they have lots of activities for the seniors, and the care was really good. She's happy there. They have exercise classes, they bring in music, she had art class, and she liked it a lot. They take them out walking, and there's a trail.

The Carlton was awesome, which was why we ended up putting my mom there. The room was great, and we got her a studio. The people seemed very happy. The food was very good and had a great selection. They had a lot of activities, like arts and crafts, cooking, little trips, and cards. We?ve already paid the deposit, and she is moving in on Thursday. It was really nice.

The rooms at Carlton Plaza of San Jose were roomy and well-maintained. They had a beauty salon there, a theater room, and a crafts room. The dining area was very roomy. We had lunch there, and the food was good. And the people seemed to be happy. The staff people were well-dressed and very helpful. When we passed them they would say “Hello” with a lot of smiles, so it seemed to be a pretty happy place.

Carlton was nice, a little bit dated, and very pricey. They had a lot of people there who were nice, but it seemed very busy, so people may not have time for you.

The Carlton was very nice but more expensive. It’s just too expensive and didn’t have outdoor balconies. So that was another concern we had because my parents like the outdoors.

Carlton Plaza of San Jose is my favorite place among all the facilities I've visited, but they are very pricey, and it has a two-month waiting list. What I like about it is it has less walking and more flexibility for people who have mild dementia. It looks like they have a lot of activities, and I also like the looks of the place. The one thing I don’t like is that the rooms are smaller than the other places.

Carlton Plaza was very nice, but the apartments were small. It’s expensive, and everything you want is an add-on. The staff was very nice and hospitable. It was very clean too.

I really liked the community and loved the activities, but Carlton Plaza doesn’t have balconies. They did have a lot of walking areas, however. I just got a really good feel from that place. Out of the two I have seen so far, I liked this one the best. It’s more amenable to my mother having a dog. My mom needs more care, and they also have a memory care unit, which I really like. The staff was helpful. The director was wonderful. I asked her a lot of tough questions, like, "How do you train your people?" She also told me they’re family-owned.

We did visit Carlton Plaza of San Jose, and it's a beautiful facility. We met one staff there, and she was really great, very friendly, and helpful. The facility was beautiful, gorgeous property. I got to see inside an actual room which I appreciated, and that was good. Our experience is very good.

Carlton Plaza is also fairly new, clean and friendly. They had activities like a piano recital going on. The dining area looks really nice, with high ceiling and a buffet meal. The staff was very friendly.

Carlton Plaza is like a resort. I saw their one bedroom and it’s beautiful. The dining room was like a fine restaurant. They do have a memory care section. I had no issue with them as far as cleanliness. The staff was great; they have really nice people that showed me around and gave me information. They were very responsive, but the price was outrageous. It was closer to me though.

I am contented here in Carlton Plaza. I like the kindliness of the staff and the way they work so efficiently. I like the food very much and for the most part, they offer you an alternative. We have activities like outings and regular trips to San Francisco, Monterey and all over. We have parties and movies regularly. They keep everybody busy. They are very good and I would recommend them to others.

I moved in to Carlton about eight or nine weeks ago. The place is very clean and very pleasant. It was not expensive. It's the nicest place that I looked at. I like their terms and I just don't think I could do any better but to be here. They provide all the food and it's good. They show movies. They have yoga lessons and have church mass.

I visited Carlton Plaza of San Jose. We just met with the director and she was one of the most amazing human beings I ever met. In terms of the way they treat their people, because we saw a lot of interaction, they get the star. It is definitely up there. The apartment that I saw was clean but it was not a right fit for my mom.
