The Carlotta, Ivy Signature Living

What a beautiful place, The Carlotta has so many amenities. My husband and I were just shocked. We had a beautiful lunch and had an excellent tour. I would definitely recommend the Carlotta.

My mother-in-law chose to live at The Carlotta and loved it! Unfortunately, she passed away in August 2023 and we're still waiting to receive the funds she's entitled to (over $60,000). This place is claiming they are using her one-bedroom casita as a model, so they haven't sold it. Mind you, she was in assisted living there for several months prior to her death (she moved out of the casita in March 2023) and the casita was supposed to be on the market. Trying to get your money back from this place is terrible!!!!

I have been in several Senior Living facilities visiting friends and I found the Carlotta to be very inviting and friendly. All staff members I encountered were friendly and helpful with my husband and I and more than that their interactions with the current residents were courteous, caring and not rushed. The whole visit showed us the staff and residents were happy and respected.

I just started exploring these types of places for myself. The Carlotta was my first stop and let me tell you this place is beautiful. The apartments are lovely with great mountain views. I was impressed by all the smiley faces I encountered on the tour. People seem happy living there. As I tour other places it'll be hard to top the welcoming feeling I felt there.

Making the decision to move (for what I consider to be the last move of my life) into a retirement community, became an obsession for me to think about what type of people and what opportunities I wanted for myself during my last chapter. I wanted specific things for the present; and had to be realistic about what could be needed in the future. I developed my checklist of needs vs wants. I visited several potential places. Some were out of the area and some were in the Coachella Valley. I was not prepared to find a home where most of my needs AND wants were each available. I have found Ivy Signature Living has elevated the Carlotta to a level comparable to other higher end Retirement Communities. What is offered? INDEPENDENT apartments designed for safety and convenience for an aging population. They all have a full kitchen for those that like to cook. CASUAL MORNING AN NOON MEALS at the Cafe. All prepared fresh. DINING ROOM FOR DINNERS. The Director of Culinary and Chef are open to hear our suggestions and input. The food quality and tastes exceed what I had expected for a retirement environment. A TEAM APPROACH to meet residents needs. Everyone from the culinary staff to the maintenance staff, treats us like family and offers us a friendly hello and any help needed everyday.. Dedication and professionalism prevail from the Director down to Gardeners and every department in between. I was not expecting this at all. ASSISTED LIVING is offered whether it is in your own apartment or in the specialized area of assistance if more is needed. WELLNESS CENTER consists of medical/ancillarys services and someone is available 24/7. ACTIVITIES that include all levels of skill along with varied interests.There is something listed every hour on every day for us to participate in (or not). Several times a month we are offered opportunities to attend group outings with transportation provided. My adult children are relieved to know I am safe and cared for at any level I require even in my apartment and future years with assistance if needed. They know I am having fun because suddenly, I am the one too busy to talk on the phone, not the other way around. Just as important to me was wondering what the other residents would be like. I was literally bowled over by the openly friendly and positive people I encountered upon move in, and still do. There is a wide range of personalities, ages and life experiences that all make for a wonderful thriving environment. I have not regretted my decision to move here at all. I truly feel that the quality of my life has been enhanced since I moved into the last home I'll ever need. Drop in, or call them and set up a tour. It might work out for you as well as it has for me.
