Review of Carlton Senior Living San Leandro
This place is WORST!!! Staff tells their personal sob stories of broken relationships with family members. Bennie went on to share how poor he is and that he and his boyfriend keep breaking up....
A friendly, warm tour with staff & residents. We like the open spaces with beautiful decor. We enjoyed the tour by Lisa L for her humor, information giving & joyful spirit.
