2 Independent Living Communities in Fremont, California

I went to Carlton Senior Living Fremont last year, and I liked it. It was modern looking, nice, clean, and it was my first choice last year. The person who welcomed me was excellent and very good.

Lincoln Retirement Villa seems to be an appropriate place. It's clean, they have a decent staff, and there are beds available. They have activities for the residents, and they have outside volunteer groups who come in to provide things and services. They offer a lot of outings and they go out to lunch or dinner, or sometimes they go to the movies. Basic assistance with treatments and medication management is being provided as well. They have LPNs and RNs available on call for delegation. I looked at the menu, and they have three meals and snacks available; it looked good.

Carlton Senior Living is a very nice and upscale community, but it's outside our budget. The rooms are very nice studios and 1-bedroom apartments. It's a very well-appointed community in terms of aesthetics. They have good and adequate staff members, they have everything, and it's excellent. I saw the menu and the snacks that they have available for the residents. The dining room is nice and big with tables, and in the café the residents can just go in if they just want something like coffee, a sandwich, or popcorn.

We picked out Carlton in Fremont because it's the only place that's pet friendly. My mother is incontinent and we've had a couple of little issues when my mom calls for help. It takes them quite a while to get up there and take care of her. Other than that, they provide medication management and she also has a partner in her room that helps. She has a nice and small 1-bedroom apartment where everything is wheelchair-accessible. It has everything she needs, like a microwave, a small refrigerator, a balcony, and a nice living room. They have things for the residents like Bingo, a movie theater, a beauty salon, and outings, like on certain days they are taken to stores. It's also helpful that they provide transportation to the doctor since my mother no longer drives. She loves the food, it's healthy, and they really enjoy the meals.

Fremont Hills was a small, clean place. I saw a studio room, a one-bedroom, and a two-bedroom apartment. I had a very good experience, but the price was too much for me.
