My mom was at Carlton Senior Living San Leandro. The facility is beautiful. They have a restaurant on-site, so the food is very good. It's cooked daily. They have many activities, like movie nights, barbecues, and music. They have almost everything. They will take you shopping if you want to go shopping. They do arts and crafts. They have a library on site. The grounds are beautiful. They have an outdoor gazebo and a patio with an area for barbecues. It's a beautiful facility.

My father was in Carlton Senior Living San Leandro for a very short time. He needed to go to a rehab type of thing and the hospital sent us to a couple of residential care and they were awful. We talked to Carlton Senior Living and they had an area that was not in memory care, but a one-on-four, more intensive supervision and care. We thought my father would manage with dementia in that setting for maybe a month and then move him to memory care when they had room in memory care. However, he was only there for two hours. It would have been my first choice of where he would move, but I ended up having to take him home because he was just teeth-gritted, wild-eyed, and just nuts. He was using a walker and they can't contain him. They don't have room in memory care at the time, so they wouldn't be able to keep him in the building.
It had a nice open environment, a nice big eating area, and a big sunny living room where people gather and do activities and things. The memory care was a large area with an outdoor area. The rooms would be either private or shared. They were nice sized with different options, but at the time that we needed to move him, they didn't have any space. The food looked great, but I didn't have the opportunity to try it. We thought they could manage my father in assisted living. It's not a locked area, but the administrators were excellent in trying to help us convince him, "You're gonna get stronger." We spent an hour and they did everything they could. They were very helpful on the phone a couple of other times. According to them, they have a lot of different activities going on there.

Carlton Senior Living San Leandro is right on the street, so the rooms tend to get a lot of street noise. I'd like to move my mom to a 1-bedroom, but the 1-bedrooms that were available in San Leandro were all facing the street. Basically her view would be of the street and her window would open up to the street view. The room that she has at the other place has redwood trees out the back. This facility was an option, but she has a little dog and needed a little more space than a studio. The way they're set up is more like an apartment-type building, where all the 1-bedroom apartments are over the lobby; the lobby is right when you walk in off the street. The tour guide was great, and the place is kept up.

I went to Carlton Senior Living San Leandro. The people that work there were really nice and seemed really capable. The facility was clean and well organized. The people living there seemed to be doing alright. It's a pleasant atmosphere. They had activities and meal services. All of that was fine. The downside for us is that we felt like there wasn't much outdoor space. It was just one building. It had a back patio, but we were looking for more grounds for walking and doing stuff outside. We were looking for trees and views with more of a pretty natural setting. It was really urban. For the most part, they were doing everything as good as they could.

My mother moved into Carlton Senior Living San Leandro. It's a very nice place aesthetically, the people are very nice, the food is good, they have a beautiful outdoor patio, and that is important for mom to be able to go outside and sit. Ultimately, I am happy with their care. The staff is very nice, communication between them is a little bit spotty, kinda hard to know who I say what to, but ultimately they're very compassionate people, they care about my mom, and that's what really counts. She is in a beautiful one-bedroom apartment with a nice view, it's quiet, and it's very nice. All through this they've been able to do indoor dining in the dining room if you want to eat your meals. Of course everybody is spread out, that's not the typical experience of eating together.
They do have lots of books and games available, they have a game room, they have movies, exercise classes, bingo, that has all been going on throughout this pandemic. Of course a lot of the excursions have been cancelled, and big gatherings of the residents, so everything is socially distanced. Everybody wears masks when they're out of their rooms. They do have a beauty salon, and that has been opened throughout all this.

Carlton Senior Living San Leandro was good and their location was great. one of the things I didnt 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.

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.

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.

Carlton Plaza of San Leandro is like a hotel. It did not attract me. It seemed more closed-in.

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.

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.
