We visited Carlton Senior Living Fremont. My tour was very informative. But I was a little confused on my directions like how to get from here to there. As I was going up and down 2 different areas I got confused, so I worried that my mom would get confused as well. Otherwise, I like the activities, and all the different areas was really good. Everything else including the cafeteria was good, everything is nice and well-made. The staff who accommodated me was really good. She spent time with me to explain more and answer my questions for me, and I thought she was really excellent. I think they were efficient and clean, so there's no problem there.

The room we saw at Carlton Senior Living Fremont was just bare, and it was a plain beige color. They have a reading room, a library, and a small theater-like stage. When we were there, we saw that they were playing bingo and doing trivia. The staff is very accommodating and they entertained us, but it's more of a selling attitude. What I like about it is that on the second floor there's a small terrace that looks down on a garden.

My mom moved into Carlton Senior Living Fremont before she passed away. It was a lovely facility, and there were wonderful amenities, and lots of things for seniors to do. They have actual apartments and not just rooms. The staff was really helpful, super friendly, really cared about what was going on with my mom, and was easy to call when you needed them. They have a theater, a game room where they play pool, or poker, and they have a beautiful library. The grounds are well kept. They take the residents shopping, and they have constant classes for people with different issues.

My mother stayed at Carlton Senior Living Fremont for a week in November. Her stay there was wonderful. They very much liked it, but unfortunately she just was too ill. The rooms were nice, the facilities were nice, the food was excellent, and she enjoyed it. The caregivers were very nice. They serve three meals a day: breakfast, lunch, and dinner. At those times they have set menus, but they also have specials each day. They have field trips to different locations, art classes, socials, and musical performances. The staff was very helpful, very kind, very sweet, and caring. We were very happy.

Carlton was nice and comfortable. They were pretty helpful in terms of showing me what I wanted to see. They showed me their eating quarters, the game room, and the library.

Our first impression with Carlton Senior Living Fremont was good, but once we got started in it, we found out it was horrible. It did not provide the care that we needed. They just checked my mother in the room, closed the door, and had a button to push anytime she needed them. That was not the kind of help that she needed. She was there for a month. The staff was fine, but we took her home because she wasn’t getting the care that she needed. Her room was really nice. It was just a plain room and you had to put in your own furniture. It was freshly painted with new carpeting, but the carpeting was outgassing, and that was very unhealthy. My mother said the food was not tasteful. It was bland. I tried it myself, and it wasn’t that good. They would have to have more of a one-on-one care for their patients and not just dumping them off like that. If a person had no choice but to take them there, then it was a good thing, but if they had a choice, I would not put them in that.

Dear JC, I appreciate your feedback and taking the time to review us. I would have loved the opportunity to discuss these issues with you during your Mom's stay with us. At Carlton Senior Living Fremont, we strive to keep our residents happy and healthy. Our nurse, care team and resident's physician develop an individualized care plan for each resident to ensure that all needs are being taken care of. The care plan is then finalized with the resident and their family. I am sorry to hear that you did not feel your Mom was getting the care she needed. I would have appreciated the opportunity to discuss this with you and your Mom during her time with us. I encourage you to visit us again soon so that you may have the outstanding experience that Carlton Senior Living is known for. I look forward to talking to you soon!

I'm still settling here in Carlton. Sometimes the food is good, sometimes it's not. The room is just average. The place is very clean.

My mother moved to Carlton Plaza for about a month now. It felt like a resort more than an assisted-living place. It's beautiful and easy to access. I like the location -- it's very close to a lot of shops and stores. The grounds are flat and even. It's on a quiet street. The rooms were decent. I wish they have more male staff in there. The residents were beautiful, and they seemed happy. I was able to eat there, and their food was good.

It was great. Michael was the guy who gave me a tour, and then he gave my mom a tour the next day. They had a dining area, a living area, a computer area, an activity room, a lounging room, and a beauty salon, and everything was established, so I would highly recommend it to someone. When my mom is ready, I certainly would be using Carlton. I looked at a one-bedroom and one of the two-bedrooms, and they could be a little bigger, but for one person, the bedroom area was OK. The kitchen area was kind of small, but then they are not doing any cooking because all the cooking is done for them in the dining area.

We did a tour of Carlton Plaza of Fremont, and we met with the receptionist and some of the people that were there; everything was fine. They were very friendly, very warm, and very outgoing. It appeared clean and well organized, and the apartments were nice. They had a social room, recreational activities, and a gym. Everything they needed was there.

If Carlton Plaza Fremont was absolutely what I felt my mother needed at this point, it would have been fine. They had a lot to offer. She's just not ready for that. It was very nice. The rooms were bright and cheerful. The staff seemed pleasant. I did not see anything wrong with it except that it was an institution. The person who accommodated us was very friendly, and he gave us all the information we wanted to know. He followed up the next day with a phone call to see if I was going to bring my mom in for a tour. I like that they had a little cafe that was open all day, so if you do not want to go down for their three scheduled meals, you can go down to this little cafe and have a cup of coffee or a snack. I think it was a nice alternative for people.

I am in Carlton Plaza Fremont, and I am content. They have a great dining room here. In fact, I just had a meeting with the head chef and the dining room manager, and it went well. I have almost everything I want here. Their salad bar is the very best that I have ever been to. I am enjoying the food.
This is a very good community and if you want something and they don't have it, all you need to do is ask them; they will have them ready on the next meal. The staff is friendly and very nice. Included in my rent is the laundry. The rooms are not that big, so if you have more than one bedroom of furniture, you have to downsize on what you have.

Carlton Plaza is a nice place, my brother has three meals a day, and it’s great. The staff is very helpful and very kind people. They have a wonderful salad bar. Some meals are good, and some meals are not. They have activities all the time and I know they have entertainment all the time. The security is very good.
I like it as it is close to town, it’s close to stores, and they have transportation wherever he wants to go if he wants to use it, but most of the time I take him. It’s a fantastic place. He’s got a little apartment with a bedroom, living room, and a little kitchenette.

Carlton Plaza was very pretty. It was very well done. I had luncheon with the hostess. It was an attractive site. The dining room was nice. However, I didn't find the people as comfortable as the people from the other one I visited. They were nice and pleasant enough, but not like a family.

Our visit at Carlton Senior Living Fremont was wonderful; it's a very lovely place. I liked how nice and clean it was. I liked that they have a restaurant type area for you to have dinner, instead of being just a regular rest home type of thing. They also have like a coffee shop in case you don't get up early. The people were so friendly and so nice. I had lunch there and the food was really delicious. They have a gym in there, a TV room, they do all kinds of different things. it was just really nice. The rooms that they showed me were very nice. They take you shopping, take you to doctors' appointments, and all those things.

Carlton Senior Living Fremont was really nice. It was quite large, and the residents were of different races. I had a pretty good impression of how the place was run. The room was not updated and looked kind of old. The residents looked happy, and the location was OK.

I like Carlton Senior Living Fremont, but it was a lot more money than where my uncle is now. It's nice, clean, and great. The staff was very helpful. The people there seemed to be happy. They were having a Halloween party while we were there, which looked like a lot of fun. The staff was absolutely great. We had great communication. She called me back, she wrote me a letter, emailed, and followed up. She did everything she could possibly do to get us over there.

I've lived in Carlton Plaza (Carlton Senior Living Fremont) for eight years now. I like everything about it. The management is spectacular, and the head director is just amazing. I enjoy the food and the way they present it. It can be fine dining, or if you're looking for a different thing, it can be cafe food, which is located adjacent to the lobby. It has a beautiful, big courtyard at the center of the building, it's just incredible, and I love it.

Carlton was very nice, very well-kept, clean, and comfortable. It was not too modern, but not too outdated. The staff was very nice and very thorough in going over everything that we wanted to know, and they seemed to cover everything. The rooms were good, and the dining room was very nice. I liked that it was setup restaurant style, rather than a buffet. All the residents were very friendly and very willing to speak out. They say that it was a nice place to live, and they were happy there. They have enough going on that somebody can stay very busy there if they want to.

The staff was super friendly and showed so much affection and love for the residents living there. They checked up on my great grandmother extremely often and made sure she was always okay. The food was delicious there. I remember going there as a little kid and getting a warm, and fresh baked chocolate chip cookie. My great grandmother was able to have her own TV, cable, fridge, microwave, plants and pet. She had a pet bird which she adored. There were events always going on to get the elders to interact and play with each other and spend time communicating and having fun. The facility was always kept clean and tidy and was a great place. The only negative I experienced, was that she had to have a personal safe because a maid stole money from her, but was promptly fired for her actions. A 5star facility.
