Pleasant Hill, CA, January 20, 2024 - In the early 1980s, while caring for his mother, Carolyn, Tom MacDonald recognized the need for a new senior care community. Back then, active seniors had limited options seeking comprehensive services and amenities. Determined to make a difference, Tom embarked on a journey to establish an environment where seniors could thrive with diverse activities, wholesome meals, and compassionate, well-trained staff.
Tom designed the earliest communities using his expertise as a real estate developer and general contractor. 1985, the company opened its first assisted living community in Pleasant Hill. Dr. Don Engle, a retired professor of dentistry, joined as a founding partner in 1989, contributing valuable medical and business experience to the company.
Carlton Senior Living stands out as a family-founded and family-focused organization. Led by President Dave Coluzzi, Carlton now operates 11 thriving senior living communities across northern California.
