Resident Spotlight - Father Tom Burns

Meet Carlton Senior Living spotlight resident, Father Tom Burns - Born in San Francisco on November 22, 1925, to John Joseph (Joe) and Helen Burns, Tom was their firstborn child. Three and a half years later he was followed by his brother William. Joe worked for General Electric and Helen was a homemaker. Seeking warmer weather, the family moved to San Mateo when Tom was a baby. Although Tom and William were not close as youngsters they became great friends in early adulthood which lasted throughout their lives including attending seminary together and becoming priests. When Tom started school, he loved his kindergarten teacher so much he wanted to repeat the class. The love of school, however, did not last and he found more enjoyment playing tennis and other pursuits. When he came of high school age he attended Bellarmine College Preparatory to which he had to commute by train about an hour each way. Bellarmine, the second oldest Jesuit high school west of the Mississippi River, was founded in 1851 and is one of 59 Jesuit high schools in the U.S. Tom’s academic interest and performance grew here and the hour-long commute each way gave ample time for homework. After graduation, Tom enlisted in the United States Navy during WWII and served for three years. He was trained as a hospital corpsman which is an enlisted medical specialist of the Navy. He served on the USS Repose which was a Haven-class hospital ship and was among the first ships to be able to receive casualties directly by helicopter. The ship traveled to many locations including Mare Island, Hawaii, Okinawa, and Shanghai. At one point it was caught in a typhoon with waves as high as 75 feet and winds of 150 miles per hour. They managed to regain control by sailing into the eye of the storm then navigating to safety. After the Navy, Tom returned to Santa Clara University for two years then enrolled at St. Patrick’s Seminary and University in Menlo Park. He was ordained as a priest at St. Mary’s Cathedral in 1954 and served as an assistant pastor in several Bay Area communities. He later served as chaplain at the University of California San Francisco for many years. Later in life, he pursued other vocational interests and worked for St. Anthony’s which has been providing essential support to San Francisco residents living in poverty since 1950. [caption id="attachment_21056" align="alignleft" width="350"] Residents Father Tom Burns and Connie Malone wave to the crowd just after being named Carlton Pleasant Hill's Harvest King and Queen.[/caption] Father Tom has lived in our Carlton Senior Living Pleasant Hill community for ten years and enjoys it very much. He appreciates the relaxed atmosphere and friendly staff and was even selected at Carlton Senior Living Pleasant Hill's first ever Harvest King. Tom was an avid tennis player and cyclist but now opts for fitness walking. He has a consistent schedule that includes a morning walk, daily mass, reading-including two newspapers and visiting with friends and ministering to those in need. Tom loves to read mysteries and religious books, enjoys movie classics, westerns and comedies, and listening to classical music. Honestly, I don’t think you could find a nicer guy. Father Tom is humble, friendly, easy to talk to and has a great sense of humor. He is a wonderful asset to our community and a favorite companion among the residents as well as staff members.         View additional Resident Spotlight articles.

Resident Spotlight - Dan Julian

Meet Carlton Senior Living spotlight resident, Dan Julian - Daniel “Dan” Julian was born in the beach town of Santa Barbara, California on July 21, 1923, to parents Frank and Esther. He had three brothers and a sister. Dan has eight children; he and his first wife had three children together and his second wife, Doris, already had five daughters when they married. Dan moved to Davis from Berkeley after his wife passed away, to be closer to family. He moved to Carlton Senior Living Davis in early May, making him one of our newest neighbors. Dan served in the United States Navy (Seaman 1st Class) during World War II. He initially tried to enlist when he was only seventeen, but his parents would not sign the paperwork. He patiently waited one more year till he was eighteen and spent three years in the military. After the war, Dan worked in corrections. He served as a probation officer in the East Bay. He prides himself on being one of the most dedicated and hardworking officers in his station. He chalks this up to his drive and determination, as well as his ability to work with and befriend one of the top judges, Judge Richard Arnason. Dan was very keen on keeping people from returning to jail or prison.  He would go above and beyond to show that his clients were on the right track. On one of the last cases Dan ever worked, he was able to save a man’s life. He recognized that his client was exhibiting symptoms of a brain tumor and was able to refer him to a doctor for a diagnosis and surgery.  Helping people turn their lives around was extremely rewarding.  Dan believes that if you can do something for another person to help them function in society, you should do it! Dan has traveled to Europe, the South Pacific, and Mexico. He especially loved his time in Mexico. While there, he bought a reconditioned Volkswagen van and had tons of fun driving it. Since there was a lot of theft in the area, Dan made it look like there was an anti-theft system in the van. This little trick kept his van safe from break-ins. Dan likes traveling, reading, and writing. He loves art and especially enjoys being an artist’s model. He likes classical music, especially Johann Sebastian Bach. His favorite meal is a traditional Thanksgiving dinner and his favorite dessert is fruit from sunny climates. Dan wants to be remembered as a someone who is thoughtful and kind. When asked about advice he would pass along to others, he suggests that people to always find a way to work with others. He most admires Judge Arnason, his former colleague. They worked in complete harmony to help those in need. Dan’s favorite thing about Carlton Senior Living Davis are the people, as they are all very pleasant View additional Resident Spotlight articles. Written by Ben Slade     Read more

Put a Spring in Your Step with Live 2 B Healthy

Today, we know that regular physical activity has been proven in study after study to improve quality of life as we age and help to reduce many of the aches and pains that were once assumed to be part of the aging process. Participants of Carlton Senior Living's Live 2 B Healthy classes can tell you that regular physical fitness makes a big difference in improving their balance, flexibility and strength. We regularly see improvements in testing results among even our most senior participants. And many of them credit Live 2 B Healthy classes as the secret to their ability to continue to independently participate in the activities that contribute to their overall well-being. Activities like playing with grandchildren and great-grandchildren, enjoying the outdoors, and managing their own personal care become easier with regular physical activity. What's more, the Live 2 B Healthy program is proven to help seniors improve both balance and overall strength. Live 2 B Healthy Trainers are all Certified Personal Trainers who are experienced in working with seniors. They are familiar with the challenges that come with age and customize exercise to fit the individual needs of each resident. Live 2 B Healthy's trainers keep participants motivated throughout the class and make an effort to get to know each and every person by name.

Resident Spotlight - Kathy Jones & Little Dog

Meet Carlton Senior Living spotlight resident, Kathy Jones and her canine companion, Little Dog - Little Dog was a rescue animal placed on Kathy's doorstep about 5 years ago. Kathy's son, Glen, found the lost little pup on his morning walk and quickly scooped her up as he could tell the young dog was cold and very hungry. Glen then decided to take the puppy to the home of his mom, Kathy. He knocked on Kathy's door and once she answered he handed over the wrapped up dog and said, "see ya later, Mom." Kathy and "Little Dog" have been together ever since. Little Dog is now about 6 years-old and Kathy feels like the two were meant to be together because she loves her so much. Little Dog may be the size of a Chihuahua mix, but she has an attitude of a full grown German Sheppard. And don’t let the name fool you, she is very protective of her owner. Both Kathy and Little Dog are very grateful for the home they have found at Carlton Senior Living Fremont and they enjoy being a part of the community.
