In our family's 12-years' experience in having our father as a resident at Aegis Gardens, we have…read morealways found the staff to be professional, friendly, and very caring. The concierge staff is always very welcoming, friendly, and knowledgeable, which sets the tone to all visits. The facilities are kept immaculate and always has a fresh and clean scent, with no harsh chemical cleaners or institutional type odors. The décor has an Asian flair to it and the common area is always nicely decorated to reflect the current seasons / holidays. The various staff team members that directly cared for our father over the past 12-years, were always kind and compassionate, in addition to their professionalism. As our father's care needs changed through the years, the medical and management teams worked with us to seamlessly adapt to his changing requirements. On many occasions, we had asked our father on how he was being treated, and he always answered that everyone was very nice and kind to him. This added to our trust and confidence in his wonderful care at Aegis Gardens. This facility is led by Emily Poon, Senior General Manager. We have found Emily to always being very receptive and pro-active to any of our concerns; she is very approachable, caring, and professional. As a result, we never had any issues with our father's care at Aegis Gardens in all of these years. Sadly, last month our father entered hospice. At the hospital, our family needed to choose the facility where our father would receive his hospice care. Thankfully, Aegis Gardens was one of the options; we did not hesitate in selecting them. At all times, the Aegis Gardens Health Services Director, Gigi Tamayo and her team kept our family in full communications with any changes in our father. The Aegis Gardens nursing staff who directly cared for our father, provided a high level of compassion, great professional care, and kindness to him, which helped ease the emotional pain in losing our dear father. If we were to do this all over again, our family would not hesitate in selecting Aegis Gardens. The staff and facilities made our family's difficult situation a viable one. No one ever wants to place their elderly family member in an assisted living situation, but many times, there are no other options. Our family consists of seniors, each with our personal health challenges, so we were unable to adequately provide the necessary care that our father required. There are no questions that Aegis Gardens provides that top notched option in a professional, safe, healthy, and caring manner.

Not only did Aegis provide community, good food, a healthy environment, medical support, fun events, a clean & comfortable living unit, and regular check-ins via Facetime and emails - they most importantly have an AMAZING staff that go above and beyond. I'd love to give extra thanks to the Wellness team of Baoy, Tina, Cathy, and Gigi. They always took their time when speaking with me/answering questions that I had, kept me updated on my father's health, noticed when he seems not at his baseline (catching the subtle signs of a stroke). I truly cannot imagine how I could have cared for my father without them. They cared for my father through his dementia, multiple strokes, and even through hospice care. It was my biggest wish for my father to be able to come back to Aegis after his last trip to the ER, knowing that he would spend his last days in the comfort of the staff and community there. They truly became our family and supported us even after my father had passed.

My father-in-law, Bob, lived at the Carlton over 4 years (Sept 2021-Dec 2025). He was 92 when he…read moremoved in and was 96 when he passed away. He was mostly independent and mobile for the first 3+ years. He went down to the dining room for meals and enjoyed going to the cafe for snacks. He enjoyed hanging out in the living areas and chatting with other residents. Sadly, Bob did not take advantage of the many activities offered. However, he made extensive use of the shuttle to Kaiser. The shuttle was a life savior to him and also my husband and I. The facility is kept very tidy, clean and pleasant. Many of the staff have been at this facility for 8, 12, 17 and even 23 years. Bob fell on May 31, 2025 and went on hospice. He was 100% bedbound from June 2 - Dec. 29th. The staff took excellent care of him. They changed his diapers and kept him clean. They watched for bed sores. They took extra care and treated the two very small, minor pressure sores before they became an issue. The food service staff took extra care to send his favorite foods to his room. I was Bob primary family contact. The Carlton Staff was extremely kind and supportive to me and our family. We are grateful to the compassionate team at Carlton Senior Living Community, where Bob was cared for with kindness and dignity. Each day, a dedicated group of caregivers and staff made his life brighter and more comfortable. To all the members of the Carlton Senior Living Community who made a meaningful difference in Bob's life, our family will always remember their dedication and kindness with deep gratitude.

After much research, my mother and step dad as well as my mother in law are living at Carlton…read moreSenior Living in Fremont. We found Carlton's cost for studio, one bedroom and two bedroom rent which includes the room, all meals and snacks, housekeeping weekly, laundry weekly, electric, cable, internet, activities, parking, transportation to appointments and weekly outings plus use of game room, TV room, and small fitness room to be quite competitive in the area. Our parents are independent but staff check in on residents at each meal whether they have been in the dining room and if not, they swing by the apartment to make sure all is well. My mother was recently ill in the middle of the night and contacted me and I called the care staff to check to in on her and call 911. That is peace of mind for me as I live across town or could be away on a trip. If care is needed, there is a menu of services in increments and you can add on only what you need and remove when/if its not needed. If anyone has needed care for their loved one and they still live at home, try to find a care giver for short periods of time, they usually want committed hours. On the books nursing aide/assistant care runs $40/hr and up or $30/hr off the books and up so if you need more than short spurts, in home care adds up quickly. Then add that to costs for their own home expenses, etc and you will see Carlton is very cost effective plus having care is immediate, if needed. Carlton like many similar communities are private pay. Corporate and site management are very responsive and actively involved with residents regarding issues or changes they would like to see in their "home". They work with the residents and have a formal and informal path to improve and/or problem solve. I have found them very accommodating and been very impressed. I have gotten to know many staff and residents. There are quite a number of long time staff. I have found staff to be a very warm and caring and the environment clean, pretty, and inviting. Maintenance staff are responsive to residents and accommodating to needs. Carlton has enriched and expanded our parents social lives while giving us peace of mind. We are onsite visiting 2-4 times a week and have had many great meals there. There is an adjustment period for many residents depending on the prior living situation and personal experiences. My recommendation is to be proactive and make this type of move before a crisis arises. My husband and I are very happy with our experience with Carlton Senior Living. Is the community perfect, no. No one is perfect but they do a great job. My family is safe and in a supportive environment. I appreciate that when something does arise, they are responsive, it is acknowledged and resolved to the best of their ability.

The person I visited here was supposed to have oxygen, they didn't seem concerned when alerted about it. But that's barely the worst of it. The person I visited here should have had better safety precautions in place due to her fall risk but the staff gave different answers, reasons, and excuses. But that's barely the worst of it. The person I visited here had a really bad fall after all the requests for increased safety and the staff didn't freak out. But that's barely the worst of it. The administrator was alerted about a fall hazard in the hallway to the dining area and does not want to improve it because it will cost money and possibly turn away future residents due to having to post the grievance on the wall. But that's barely the worst of it. When this person was admitted to hospice, the staff tried so hard to tell the family the person didn't need hospice and they can help her get better. It's all financial. And sadly, I'm not shocked as I'm reading previous reviews. Please spare your loved one and place them somewhere else. It is cheaper here, but that's because you get what you pay for.

It seems like they are ill equipped in handling larger/heavier adults i.e no equipment and no one on staff physically strong enough to assist should that person fall. We have been very open and honest with our concerns with them from the start yet given the time frame, we have not yet received resolutions in a timely manner. Follow up is absent. My family will continue to express concerns in hope for accountability and resolution. One very good thing is the med tech is very on point in ensuring medication is properly dispensed and on time.

COMMON DESTINY IS UNCOMMONLY EXCEPTIONAL!…read more Common Destiny in Fremont excels in every way. I know because after experiencing several other Board & Care Homes settings, my mom received the very best care at Common Destiny. What sets Common Destiny above the rest? A veteran RN is the director of a noticeably dedicated staff. Unlike other homes with only minimal staff living 24/7 on the premises, CD's staff works in shifts and feels refreshed upon return each weekday with another dedicated staff for weekends. This healthy work-life balance yields good fruit: kind and compassionate care for all residents. The Staff diligently follow medical instructions with all medications locked away in a designated place. The Staff also provide individualized service, including routine night-time checks, and assistance with bowel/bladder issues as needed. The RN Owner/Director assesses each incoming resident's medical history and particular needs thoroughly and expertly. Quality home prepared food is served three times each day at regular times. My mom is fairly particular about food, and she gives the Chef a two thumbs up rating! The design and layout boast spacious seating, a large dining area, big screen TV and two expanded gardens that draw an abundance of birds for the nature lovers. In essence, if you desire an exceptional place for your loved one to be well cared for, I heartily recommend Common Destiny Board & Care in Fremont.

The best thing is the owner can speak Mandarin and understands Cantonese. The owner Evelyn is a nurse herself, and was able to talk to our doctors using medical terms only they can understand whenever something happened to my dad. The other caregivers are not Chinese speakers but definitely are caring to their patients. Nora is there all day and treats the patients as if they are her own parents. This job is not easy and not just anyone can do it. You can pay me 6 or 7 figures $$$ but I will have to decline. This job takes a lot of TLC and patience. To see what the patients go through is hard on anyone. Evelyn and staff are there to help the patient and the family out so we can go about our daily lives knowing our love ones are well taken care of.
