Carlton Senior Living Orangevale sits on a big, gated property in the heart of Orangevale. There are seven acres with gardens, shade trees, waterfalls, and plenty of places to walk or sit in the sun with friends or a pet. The community has rooms that range from private suites to shared spaces, some with kitchenettes and private bathrooms, all fully furnished and air-conditioned. Residents can pick from independent living, assisted living, or memory care-each with support as needed, like help with bathing, dressing, and taking medicine. For people living with dementia or Alzheimer's, staff use Teepa Snow's Positive Approach to Care®, which aims to respect each person's choices and dignity while supporting memory and relationships.
The staff keeps a friendly and caring atmosphere, though there can be high turnover, and people there do their best to help everyone feel safe and comfortable. There's supervision and support at all hours, and rooms have a 24-hour call system for emergencies. The community handles chores like housekeeping, laundry, and maintenance, so life stays simple. Meals are planned by chefs, served restaurant-style, and use organic food when possible. National awards have recognized the community for meals, activities, and friendly staff, and there's help with getting to doctors' appointments or making transportation arrangements.
There are good amenities-a fitness center, on-site physical therapy, game rooms, libraries, and several outdoor courtyards. Residents can join social, educational, and physical programs, including fitness classes, crafts, live music, and social events to keep the mind active and keep friendships going. The community uses state-of-the-art technology like Wi-Fi, cable, and Amazon Alexa for added convenience and safety. Residents can bring their pets, and walking paths outside make it easy to enjoy a stroll or fresh air.
Staff help residents with medication, incontinence care, and support for those who need more medical attention, but they also try to respect privacy and independence. There's also support for seniors who need live-in care. Apartments start at $4,595 a month, and there are several layouts to choose from. The environment stays secure and well-planned with 24-hour staffing and safety features, including fall prevention systems. Carlton Senior Living Orangevale is part of a larger network of communities in Northern California that focus on dignity, health, and a sense of belonging for older adults.
