    About The Carlisle

    The Carlisle sits on Post Street in San Francisco and has a high-rise building with large windows, balconies, and outdoor spaces where people can gather and take in the views. The community welcomes adults 62 and older and lets residents bring pets, which can really feel like home for a lot of people. The place offers services for all stages of aging-independent living, assisted living, memory care, skilled nursing, home care, and even hospice, so someone can start with one type of care and move to another as needs change, and that's all available right here under one roof, which can be a relief. The community follows a "whole living" approach, focusing on personal well-being, connection, and independence, with staff always on hand for 24/7 support and help with things like bathing, dressing, and medication, plus options for home health or non-medical home care for those who want to age in place.

    There's a long list of services: medication management, daily housekeeping and laundry, room service, a concierge doctor program, and pet care, even dog walking if needed. Residents can choose between private studios, one-bedroom or two-bedroom apartments, all with utilities and cable included, and everything is built with accessibility in mind, like wide doorways and emergency response systems. The staff, often noticed for their kindness and helpfulness, work hard to create a welcoming, friendly place, and residents can usually find someone to talk to or share activities with, whether that's art sessions in the creative arts studio with sunlit windows, events in the Vine at Ivy Restaurant, or social gatherings in the bar and lounge.

    People living at The Carlisle can dine on chef-prepared meals, either in the restaurant-style dining room with white linens and wood paneling, at the more casual Bistro, or sometimes enjoy guest meals and room service if they'd rather stay in. There's a full library with cozy chairs and shelves of books, a movie theater for entertainment, a wellness and fitness center with group classes, an art studio for painting and creative work, a salon and spa for hair or treatments, and high-speed internet throughout. The staff helps organize activities and outings, handles transportation for doctor visits or shopping, and plans programs for social, educational, and personal growth-some focus on physical wellness, memory support, or helping people stay connected with friends and family.

    Memory care services support residents with Alzheimer's or other dementia, with skilled nursing nearby if someone's health needs become greater, and adult day services help people who want to come for part of the day. The community has weekly cleaning and on-site maintenance, an emergency alert system in the apartments, and invites families to visit and tour if they want to see daily life or the elegant interiors firsthand, with spaces like a grand piano lounge, lobby with flowers, and gathering areas meant for forming bonds among neighbors. The Carlisle has been providing senior support for more than 35 years, is supported by Ivy Signature Living, managed by Oakmont Management Group, and makes sure to give residents options they need without making anyone feel pressured-people can join in or enjoy peace and privacy as they wish.
