I was at the Watermark By The Bay for five months. It was nice. It was close to my family and close to my medical providers because I had to have radiation treatment every day for a month. They took me and they had good transportation. The meals and the food were good. We had a lot of fresh vegetables and fruits, which I liked. They didn't have much outdoor space. They were kind of in an urban area. The staff was good. There was little turnover among the care providers because I was independent and I wasn't having any medications. I needed to be pushed down to the meals. I was in a wheelchair at that point because I couldn't walk very far because of my shortness of breath. They were very attentive to that and got me to my doctor's appointments. I didn't have the medical needs that they provided me. The activities were good. They have yoga and tai chi, the usual bingo, and they would take you out for walks around the block. I like the diversity and that was a plus.

We're considering The Watermark By The Bay because it's a 10-minute walk from where we live. The overall experience with my tour was very good. We got a lot of information and we saw the facility. It was good. We saw several rooms. The place was clean, neat, and well-lit. It looked safe for the residents to be in. I would describe the staff as caring, thoughtful, and non-invasive.

What a gorgeous facility! It is spotless and the staff are all so nice. I toured for my mother with the Executive Director and she was very kind and was able to answer all of my questions. We had lunch in the dining room and the meal was outstanding. My sister is going to need a facility when she moves to the East Bay in September and we plan to make Watermark by the Bay our new home. Very impressive.

The Watermark By The Bay has much to offer to their residents. Cozy rooms, a stellar, professional and caring staff and many interesting activities for a resident to partake in. I have two friends there who have improved remarkably and they are both very happy to be there. One of them has been there for many years and the other since the end of 2022. They enjoy the activities there more than the ones I offer them; and I've offered many. They love the food. As a visiting loved one, I love the food! I have eaten there many times! They like living here more than they did at their previous Piedmont-Oakland area home and another care home where the stay was very short. I have never encountered a problem with the staff there. The Watermark is an experience that one would have to encounter to feel the goodness that is there. I realized within a week or so that the many seniors who live at the apartment complex where my friends once lived prior to moving into the The Watermark By The Bay don't really have much to do as far as activities. Actually, I've seen them get their mail or peek out of their window whenever they hear a loud sound or are unsure if a family member or a complete stranger is at their doorstep. It is no exaggeration to say that The Watermark By The Bay reminds me of a kind of pleasure cruise. I based my Five-star rating on my two friends experience as well as mine as a visitor. I actually feel like a guest when I go there. Everyone is so kind and patient. They work very hard to maintain the quality of care and everything related to it. The Golden Years are here at The Watermark By The Bay. Many thanks! Ignacio A.

My husband is at The Watermark by the Bay. He is happy there. I'm happy with the place as well because it's nice. It's located in a spacious area. My husband thought it doesn't look like a senior living facility. It looks like a hotel with a very high ceiling and a beautiful entrance. You can choose a room with a carpet or without and with windows or none. The rooms have their own bathroom and bars if needed. They're spacious with closets. He was in independent living but since he was getting so independent and wandering a lot, they decided to put him on the second floor where he cannot be exiting the floor because he has memory issues and sometimes he gets confused. They have 24-hour security. They have a gym, yoga, musical activities, arts and crafts, they take them out, and they have games to keep them entertained. The food is very good. They have a chef and three meals are served. They have soup, the main dish, and dessert. The staff is very supportive and reachable. It's a very good place. It was recommended by a nurse coming to assist my husband and her grandma was in that place for seven years. I went to look and I liked it. It's very central and close to me. It's very reasonably priced. I'm very pleased. I would recommend this place.

Although the facility is near an elevated freeway, the floors I toured were very quiet. The staff, as we passed them, seemed committed to their jobs, neither rushing through them nor hanging back avoiding them. I did not have an opportunity to try the food. I was looking specifically at respite care post-surgery, and was disappointed that those rooms do not have a full kitchen.
