In hindsight, I realized that the first question to ask is "Is this price inclusive?" There are always add-ons that significantly increase the cost. Overall I still think it is the best in my area. It's just more expensive than I anticipated. The staff are always courteous, smiling, and attentive. Meals always look appetizing, and the menu is varied.

The residents and staff were very good. I would tell other families, that if they ever want themselves or their loved one to feel like an ATM Machine then this is the place for them. The staff was good but never had a management group made me feel like my mother was a paycheck and not a person.

Carefield Castro Valley was horrible. It was like night and day compared to the place we chose. It cost a lot more. Yet it felt like a cold, hospital room. You had a shared bedroom with one bathroom. There was no privacy or curtain in the bedroom. And they didn't have a lot of activities.
Carefield Castro Valley is the most amazing, safe, clean, and well-run establishment you could possibly hope for your loved one. My mom has been there since [date removed], and everybody from the Director [name removed] to the amazing head of the memory clinic [name removed] to the second to none ladies who help all the folks in Memory Care, [name removed] and [name removed] among them, To [name removed] who keeps everything running and organized, to [name removed] who is constantly thinking of new activities, you could not hope for a better, more experienced, more caring group to take care of your loved one. Our family can’t possibly say how much we appreciate this amazing institution and the people in it for taking care of my mom. They’ve put our hearts at ease. She is well cared for, well entertained, and well protected here. Thank you Carefield!

We picked this community because of the location, cost, and it's a smaller community. They have hired more people/staff, which is good. They are willing to help. The residents are very friendly and nice. I would recommend to other familes.

All of the staff members at Carefield Castro Valley were very friendly, the facility was just too small for what we were looking for.
The community is very neat and clean and the staff is very friendly and helpful. The community is homey and had a great atmosphere. I would recommend this community to others based on our experience.

Trying to find a reputable place for a loved one is the hardest things you'll ever have to do. [name removed] was compassionate and willing to meet all our needs. She allowed me to express our concerns and needs. So impressed by the intent to meet every little and big isssue. I recommend Carefield highly. Your loved ones are their only concerns. Again, Thank you [name removed]

Really enjoyed the visit, [name removed] was very warm and welcoming. We were able to speak to [name removed], Director of Activities, and she was very pleasant. The facility was clean, bright and the environment appeared friendly. Few concerns, we weren't allowed to visit the memory care unit which is what we are looking for and the cost to stay is higher than we expected but we were overall very satisfied with initial consultation.

Toured this "luxury" facility, it is nice. But... while the base price is reasonable, the level of care my father needs, plus extra costs for this and that, it was a deal breaker. Too expensive for us.

Strictly an Assisted Living facility. The most expensive ( 244500 2b month 2b deposit plus cost for various levels of care) of the ones in this area. Also the oldest facility. Looking for my father dont think he would be happy here.
