Senior Living Communities That Are Family Owned!

Your retirement communities get raving reviews. What's your magic formula?"I am extremely fortunate to have such quality people working with me- for me- everyone works with me. I think that's maybe the core of the whole thing. We have people that work with me- they really enjoy what they're doing. They really enjoy taking care of seniors. There is no magic, you've just basically got to be fair and honest, and have people work with you, not for you. At Carlton Senior Living, we have an approach that is unique among retirement communities by which we make our residents, their families and our employees the main focus, by honoring them with love and proudly providing life-enriching experiences."What's your main ingredient for success?"Main ingredients that we look for, are, as you said, the caring gene. People either have it, or they don't. We need people who are caring, who want to work, and basically, serve the seniors. The caring gene is so important."The owner dances with his residents?"First of all, I love to dance. And at the barbecues there is music going and I look around and see women tapping their feet. And you know, that kind of tells me that they would like to dance, because it is so encouraging when they talk to me. They look up at me and say, 'but I haven't danced in twenty years.' It's like...dancing is like bicycle riding; you never forget how.Discover UsThe Family ConnectionSatisfaction Guaranteed or your money backSenior Living SolutionsYour Questions Answered

Chateau Senior Assisted Living Communities Owner Tom MacDonald, Pleasant Hill, East Bay San Francisco, CaliforniaCalifornia "As primary care-giver for my mother Carolyn, I was determined to develop a supportive community that offered an array of Senior Living Solutions. A community that would provide superior service and allow her to be independent & enjoy her remaining years. That's when I committed to build a caring, family-based, assisted living community to meet not only her needs, but also others in need of the support of assisted living facilities or senior Retirement communities. A place they could call home for the rest of their lives if they so chose. A senior community that offered the care, service and activities they want, need & deserve.
It makes me smile each time I see the residents laughing in the family room, enjoying Sunday brunch with their families or making new friends during Happy Hour. I am filled with joy knowing that the community my mother inspired me to build has become a happy, safe home for so many people here in the Bay Area.
But please, explore this site and find out what our residents have to say. They are our best advocates. Thank you."

Being family-owned and family-operated, The Chateau offers a very personal approach to the way services are delivered and interpreted. We like to believe that we are dealing with our own family and as such, we want all of our residents to live in a rich, stimulating environment where respect and spontaneity rule. We like our residents to feel like they are at home and free to express their highest desire. We are always motivated to fulfill that desire and exceed their expectations in terms of needs.

"It is our goal to be the solution that you are looking for, either for yourself or for a loved one. By doing the best job we can and always challenging ourselves to give more than we just did, we yearn to be the peace of mind that we are all looking for."

-Tom MacDonald, Owner
