My recent tour was a pleasant experience. Mia was through with information and she was able answer all of my questions. The Independent Living section fits all of my needs in the future. The Casidos and apartments are spacious and bright(light in my home is very important). I like the idea of having a washer and dryer in the units. The grounds an open space around the units really give the feel of home. I enjoyed an absolutely delicious meal in the bright cheery dining hall. I enjoyed meeting several residents and I felt so welcomed. Mia is a lovely tour guide. I never felt rushed or pressured. Thank you all for making my birthday special. JoAnn Gagnet

I recently toured this skilled nursing facility and assisted my client with the admission process, and I cannot say enough good things about the experience. From the very beginning, the staff was welcoming, compassionate, and incredibly professional. They took the time to answer our questions, explain every step of the process, and ensure that my client felt comfortable and supported during a major life transition. What stood out the most was the dedication of the team. We encountered several unexpected delays due to issues with the doctor's office and required paperwork, which caused our move-in date and timing to be pushed back. Despite these challenges, the facility staff went above and beyond to help us. They worked after hours and even on their days off to ensure everything came together smoothly and that my client could transition into the facility successfully. Their commitment, patience, and willingness to help during a stressful situation made all the difference. It is rare to find a team that genuinely cares so much about the people they serve. The facility was clean, organized, and welcoming, but it was the staff's kindness and dedication that truly made this experience exceptional. Thank you for going the extra mile and making what could have been a difficult and overwhelming process feel manageable and positive. Your hard work and compassion did not go unnoticed, and we are incredibly grateful.

My family and I visited The Carlotta two days before Christmas and were served a delicious breakfast and given a very informative tour. We were able to go back the next day for a second tour and learn more details about three apartments which really interested us. Since I was flying back home on the day after Christmas, they were willing to work with my son so that I could rent the casita I wanted. All this was done very quickly. The Carlotta offers the physical and mental activities seniors want, the entertainment that we want and the socializing that we want. I currently live in a similar facility in Florida and feel I will be just as happy when I move to California.

If I could create a title for this review it would be…”Residents Will Find a Lotta At The Carlotta”. From the moment I walked in with my mother, I was in awe of the gorgeous lobby, cleaned to perfection, adorned with beautiful fresh flowers and a surprising welcoming sign on a table in the foyer, personalized with my name (such an amazing and thoughtful touch)! Marketing director, Joe took us on an unforgettable tour after taking a considerable amount of time getting acquainted with my elderly mom. He was also very accommodating, giving us ice cold Fuji Bottled water to help quench our thirst from the triple-digit heat. My mom admired the gift box with the blue ribbon, which happened to be enormously-sized cookies 🍪…’she asked and she received’😀. We were told that residents can look forward to feasting on a variety of delicious food and cookies! Future residents can expect a spectacular tour of the amenities: the amazing restaurant /dining room and a view of the three-course menu; there was an adorable table decorated in celebration of a resident’s 98th birthday! We met friendly residents walking by, one stating how amazing it is to live at The Carlotta as well as another resident walking “getting her steps in”, with Joe proudly noted that she was 96 Years Young!! Our tour ended with looking at a studio apartment. The studio was nothing short of amazing and spacious; I can’t imagine how the one bedroom apartments and the casitas look at The Carlotta. The tour left me feeling as though I wish I had the opportunity to live at The Carlotta myself; but due to my age, I have another twenty years! If you are 65 years or older or have a loved one interested in independent or assisted living; don’t hesitate to call and schedule an amazing tour today-you won’t be disappointed!
