This was a lovely place and the staff were very kind. (name removed)has a great personality and really understands the needs of her residents. The only downside is they only offer studio apartments and we are looking for at a 1 bedroom.

Great experience from first to last!
I had a great experience, finding everyone in your group to be quite helpful without ever pushing me to move faster than I was ready for. My rep gave me contacts in several geographical areas, so I had lots of data to work with in my decision-making. I would give you the highest score and would always recommend your services to someone in my situation of needing to research and select a perfect fit for a family member whose needs now are more than a family can handle.

VerifiedOn our first visit, my sister decided not to look at any other communities! The architecture, cleanliness, menu, availability of a perfect room and the incredibly knowledgeable and caring staff made this an easy decision for a new home for our brother. He moved in yesterday!

It's not home, but it's the next best thing
The facility is great! The staff is incredible. Everyone is always professional and it's obvious they're all trying their best. We feel that the caregivers are genuinely concerned with our father's welfare and they treat him like family. Between my sister and I we manage to visit our dad every single day of the week... it doesn't matter what day of the week or what time of the day it is, he's always getting the best care.

VerifiedI liked the facility. The staff was very friendly and the residents seemed happy and well cared for. The only reason that I didn’t sign up is because they had no private rooms and I didn’t like the idea of Sharing .

My loved one is at Carefield Castro Valley Assisted Living & Memory Care. She calls me her daughter-in-law because her son and I have been together for 32 years. They're very friendly, very kind, and respectful towards anybody who comes in, and once any family members are part of it, they already know who you are. When I need some information on how she's doing over there with her behavior, they answer. I ask them to answer me very honestly, and they do. When she needs help, they're there to help her. They go into their rooms before lunch, breakfast, or dinner, and they let them know of the time. They have a small gardening area and a small patio, and they're really nice. The residents are also welcome to help with the gardening if they want. They have activities. They have comedians come in, and students from the school for extra credit and play there. They play their own piano. They have bingo games, karaoke, and all kinds of certain stuff there. They have a little exercise program to help keep them fit. I believe that's twice a day. Anyone who wants to contribute to doing the exercises is welcome. They always tell me that they have family support meetings who are dealing with the elderly with certain conditions. If they run into a problem, everything is to the book. They have rules when it comes to medications or for the med tech to distribute the medications. Everything has to be under a doctor's orders. They're great. If I can afford it, I would be there, too. The only problem is that they need more parking, and that's the only complaint I have.

Very grateful
All the staff are loving and kind. From the moment I talked to (name removed) I knew it was the right place for mom. Mom tells me that some of them call her mama and give her hugs and are right there if she needs something. Being a couple of hours away I am comforted to know she is in kind and loving hands.

VerifiedCarefield, God's answer to my prayers.
The community as a whole is very nice. all of the caregivers are very nice. My father is very happy there except for the food. The meat is often way too tough to cut. The food is usually cold by the time it gets to him. And apparently the coffee is bad too. Believe it or not, my father enjoyed the food at the skilled nursing facility, much more than he does at Carefield. I will say at least there is always a menu of alternatives if he doesn't like what's being served that day. But other than that, we have no complaints.

I like Carefield Castro Valley Assisted Living & Memory Care. They were very informative and very friendly. I did not eat there, but you could see the kitchen and everything looked in order. I did not have time to speak to anyone, but they greeted you, and if you need anything, they're there. I really like the dining area and the second floor, where they have a fireplace and a piano. They have a large skylight there. To be somewhat cheerful, the environment has to have lighting, and I really enjoyed it. I like the openness of the area. I was in a building where they had their meals, and I liked that, too.

Staff always strives to serve.
My cousin has a very bad case of Parkinson’s disease. His mind is very sharp. He has taught staff to play various card games. They cater to his needs with love and dignity. And they work hard to help meet unique and one-off needs. It is a joy to work with them to serve my cousin.

Carefield Castro Valley
Placing my mom in assisted living at Carefield Castro Valley was one of the best decisions we have made. All residents are treated with respect and the staff truly cares about the well being of the residents.

I wanted to express my gratitude and appreciation for the warm welcome we experienced during our recent tour of the facility. The staff's friendly demeanor and hospitality made a lasting impression on my mother and me. In particular, the lunch we enjoyed was exceptional, with two options on the menu from which to choose. Our selection was the salmon, which was thoroughly enjoyable. We were also impressed by the chef's enthusiasm and professionalism in introducing himself to us. Although my mother and I ultimately chose another facility, it was due to our situation being on a waiting list at the time, and not because of any shortcomings in the service or amenities offered by your facility. The community was indeed our first choice.

VerifiedExtremely disappointed in this facilities lack of humanity
The residents and staff were very good. I would tell other families, that if they ever want themselves or their loved one to feel like an ATM Machine then this is the place for them. The staff was good but never had a management group made me feel like my mother was a paycheck and not a person.

VerifiedExpensive but best in the area.
In hindsight, I realized that the first question to ask is "Is this price inclusive?" There are always add-ons that significantly increase the cost. Overall I still think it is the best in my area. It's just more expensive than I anticipated. The staff are always courteous, smiling, and attentive. Meals always look appetizing, and the menu is varied. The residents are offered a variety of activities.

VerifiedCarefield Castro Valley was horrible. It was like night and day compared to the place we chose. It cost a lot more. Yet it felt like a cold, hospital room. You had a shared bedroom with one bathroom. There was no privacy or curtain in the bedroom. And they didn't have a lot of activities.
