I am very pleased with my experience at The Carlisle. I live on the east coast so I rely on the staff to provide for my brother, who is a resident. J.P., the medical director, was involved in a zoom meeting with the doctor in his office with my brother and I in attendance. Alex, the executive director, introduced himself to me on my arrival. The personnel are interested in the comfort and success of the residents.

My visit was delightful. The facility was attractive. The suite I saw was very comfortable and light filled (important to me). There was a range of activities going on. I was very pleased and impressed.

Carlisle Ivy
The Carlisle itself is an inviting well-kept building. The apartments that I saw were spacious and interesting--in previous years owners made changes that worked for them so not cookie cutter. (name removed), the marketing director is very good at his job.

I toured The Carlisle Ivy Signature Living. It was poorly maintained, dark, and shabby. The staff was a lovely person with the bad product. The dining area was unappealing. It's dark and crowded. It just needs to be totally revamped, and renovated.

My parents are now in the assisted living of The Carlisle, and our experience so far has been very good. We're very satisfied and happy with it. The meal I had there was quite good, and they had a very nice, varied menu, and it's very high quality. It was very clean and bright, they have very large rooms with nice views out on the balconies. I would consider living there myself. There are a lot of activities available, and they have a very, very wide-ranging program, which I was happy with. They look like they have excursions, they take people out to venues outside in San Francisco, and transportation is provided. They also bring in lectures and musicians, and that sort of thing, and they have in-house activities and excursions outside the facility. The staff has been very friendly, welcoming, and very attentive.

We love the Carlisle. My aunt has lived there for 5 years and is really happy. She has made new friends and is much more satisfied than she was living home alone.

Great Place for loved one
The staff is absolutely wonderful. They make you feel welcomed, at home and included in the community. The residents are really supportive and friendly. My loved one has made a number of friends, in a short period of time.

As a senior housing advisor with 30+ years of experience in senior housing, I have referred my families to The Carlisle many times. The apartments are nicely laid-out and the food and activities are excellent.

I would recommend
We chose The Carlisle because of the location, the quality of the facility, and the friendliness of the staff members. They were very easy to work with from the get go. Residents have all been very welcoming. The apartment sizes are good, she has a 1 bedroom and it is good size with a big closet. It is a very nice facility, but they did just increase the rent about $500 a month which is a big change. Overall I would recommend to others looking as long as you are able to afford it.

Good Move
I would tell others that it is a very nice, friendly community to move into. It was a good move for me. They have games, lectures, exercise classes, take you on walks, movies, and other activities for the residents to choose from.

Mom LOVED this place. We saw a 1-bedroom and she was ready to move in. BUT, the cost may be too high. The strong interest here is that you buy the unit and have it as an asset. But even still, the costs may make this not possible. We had dinner Mon night with 2 residents and it was great. Food was pretty good, not outrageously good as I was sort of expecting. Continental bfast, 30 points for other meals for each month. Stephanie was very sweet. She explained the Priority List ($1K). Great place and would be the easiest and best for being able to visit Mom often. Mom feels she can't afford it. I'm looking at ways to imagine moving her there, maybe waiting longer.
