Carlton Senior Living Pleasant Hill – Downtown offers assisted living with a clinical scope that includes oxygen management, special diet oversight, diabetic care for both oral-med and insulin-dependent residents, and support for individuals under 60 who need an assisted-living setting. Staff members are trained to work with advanced dementia, allowing residents with complex cognitive decline to remain on campus while receiving tailored interventions and monitoring.

An RN or LPN is on staff, background checks are completed on all employees, and an awake night shift reinforces 24-hour coverage. Emergency pull cords and personal emergency response systems link directly to staff, while fence-secured outdoor areas and alarmed doors add another layer of safety. On-site podiatry and acceptance of residents with psychiatric histories reduce the need for outside appointments. Full assistance is available with bathing, dressing, eating, and toileting, and mobility support ranges from simple standby help to two-person or Hoyer-lift transfers for bed-bound residents. Walkers and wheelchairs are readily accommodated.

Residences vary in size and layout, and not every apartment contains every feature, but options may include a private bathroom, kitchenette, independent temperature controls, cable connection, and the opportunity to paint or decorate. These practical touches allow residents to manage daily routines with minimal disruption while still having quick access to staff when needed.

Meals are prepared to order, and snacks are available throughout the day. The culinary team can honor physician-ordered diet modifications, handling everything from low-sodium menus to carbohydrate-controlled plates for diabetics. Independent-living residents on the same campus can opt for medication management monitoring, weekly housekeeping, personal laundry service, and a monthly meal plan, giving them a lighter level of support without moving to assisted living.

Resident parking, outside smoking areas, pet-friendly policies, and full wheelchair accessibility help residents maintain familiar habits. There is an on-site barber and beauty shop, an exercise room, a movie room, communal gardens, a general store, internet access, scheduled transportation, proximity to public transit, and on-site religious services. A rehabilitation center in the building broadens therapy options close to home. It’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed.
