Carlton Senior Living San Leandro has been serving older adults since 1985, offering a caring, family-like community with independent living, assisted living, memory care, and skilled nursing services all on one campus, so residents can adjust their care as their needs change through the years. The staff has professional training in senior care and provides support around the clock, including help with daily activities like bathing, dressing, and medication management. Residents living with Alzheimer's or other memory issues get care based on Teepa Snow's Positive Approach to Care®, with routines and therapies that maintain dignity, foster relationships, and aim to reduce confusion. The community has a main dining room serving high-quality, award-winning, restaurant-style meals, and there's a strong focus on good nutrition and enjoyable flavors, which has earned recognition for Best Meals and Dining. The Zen Garden offers a peaceful retreat with beautiful landscaping, while the shaded courtyard has walking paths and spots to sit beneath mature maple trees.
Social activities fill the calendar with fitness classes, live music, and educational talks to keep people engaged, and there are plenty of common rooms and areas for gathering, whether for recreation or quiet time. Transportation and parking are available for appointments and outings, and in-house medical care helps meet health needs without trips away from the community. For those who want a hassle-free lifestyle, services include cleaning, laundry, maintenance, all utilities, and technology with cable, wifi, and smart home features like Amazon Alexa. The environment feels warm and homely, with a pet-friendly policy letting residents bring their furry friends. Floor plans suit different needs, offering studio, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom options. Personalized care plans are built for each resident, whether they need independent living, a helping hand in assisted living, or specialized dementia support in memory care. Staff aim to treat every resident with respect, compassion, and kindness, building real connections and a sense of belonging. The community is part of a group with over 11 similar locations in Northern California, known for quality programs in health, memory care, and staff development, and is verified for a strong culture of caring and supportive services designed to help seniors stay as independent as possible while enjoying a safe, active, and social place to live.
