My mom joined the community at The Elms at the end of May/beginning of June, and she is loving it! Her one bedroom apartment is a good size, a nice balcony with great afternoon sun, big closet, big bathroom and lots of wall space for her art she's collected over the years! The staff are so kind and welcoming to all of us, she feels very taken care of. She loves the food and the activities.We took her on a month long trip and half way through she asked when she was going back home to The Elms? The town of San C…

I visited this facility

My husband and I heard about San Carlos Elms from a friend, and we went to look at the place. It was really nice and it would suit our needs. It was very warm, compact, and the people were very nice. We liked the way it was set up. The marketing director did a nice job. He was very friendly and we had a good tour with him. The rooms were smaller, but it was good. The menu looked sufficient and the food looked alright. We saw exercises going on and they were doing games in another room when we went there.

My mother was a resident of The Elms for over four years before she passed away at the age of 90 this past holiday season. My brother and I couldn't have chosen a better place for Mom.

The common areas are beautifully decorated and the rooms are kept ver…

San Carlos Elms is very good and has different levels of care. They have a nice dining room with good food service that's accommodating to his age group. There are a lot of activities that people might enjoy. They do room maintenance and cleaning and have different services depending on what you need. There’s some room for improvement, but overall it’s very good.

I visited this facility

San Carlos Elms was a very nice facility, centrally located, close to the center and a library. Good room, gathering areas, and good restaurant facility. Nice atmosphere. While we were there, they had bingo going on, petting zoo, and visiting animals. There was also a bus that was taking people on a tour or to town.

We got my mom into The Elms in San Carlos (San Carlos Elms) over a month ago, and she is doing very well. It is a beautiful place. My mom is 96 years old and gets around OK on a walker, but she needs additional care with her medications and what-have-you. The people there administer the medications and the head person makes sure that everything gets done. They’re just outstanding and do a really good job. The grounds are beautiful. The inside is done quite well, and the dining area is like a five-star hotel with ta…
