About San Carlos Elms
San Carlos Elms is a nonprofit, locally owned and operated independent, assisted living, and memory care community, established in 1996. Our reputation consists of having long-standing staff, convenient location to a lot of great amenities that are walking distance for active seniors, such as restaurants, shopping, CVS, public library, adult community center, dog park and several other parks, coffee shops, and many more.
Our Philosophy
At the Elms, our philosophy is for residents to be as independent as possible, with us here as support. With that said, they only pay for services that they need. We are a nonmedical community, so we're not required to have doctors or nurses on site; however, our care team is supervised by a licensed nurse, who's been here since the building opened in 1996, so you can feel confident in receiving consistent and customized care.
Accommodations
We have 89 apartments total, in three full-sized, private apartment types: studio, one bedroom, and two bedroom, and a small memory care consisting of 26 beds. Our rates are attached.
