Assisted Living Communities in Alameda, CA

"Lake Park in Oakland has a vibrant independent living component. I like the physical layout quite a lot. The rooms were larger than some places I've visited. It's an older facility, but it has been renovated a lot. It's a large building, too. The staff members are very positive and very helpful. I tried the food, but it was not the highlight of the community. They have a limited menu, and they aren't making as big a deal out of it as some places do. There were a lot of large and small rooms that you could use for different things, whether you were doing crossword puzzles, you were sitting in their library, you were having your friends over, or you were watching films. There were lots of spaces and different options, and you could reserve those for what you wanted to do."

"The only thing I disliked about Dimond Care was that one of the employees had their kids in there, so they're busy taking care of the kids while working. Other than that, it was nice, neat, and people were very friendly, but we were looking more for independent living. I only saw the residents watch TV; that was the only thing. The dining room was nice. They were serving lunch, and it was very on time for lunch -- on the dot -- and everything was pretty cool. "

"I chose The Point because it is in my neighborhood. I like that we have activities daily especially the exercise activities. We have trips out which I appreciate very much. I have my car and usually drive myself, but I can also get transportation with them while I was there. That place has long had a reputation for friendly staff. The staff at The Point is still warm and friendly, so they carry on their tradition. The food is average and could be improved. "

"I was here 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."

"It is very warm and family oriented, they care about their patients and treat them like family. The warmth of the staff was what stood out to me. They have men’s outings, women’s outings, shopping, and scenic tours, but my dad doesn’t participate in them anymore. "

"I visited Marymount Villa, and they were excellent. They were very clean, well organized, and they seemed like to have quite a few activities for the seniors; like bingo and music. They had a list of activities. The rooms were pretty spacious, and well maintained. I did not taste the food, but they had a full-menu available. The director helped me tour the property, and he answered all my questions. Overall, it was good. "

"My mother is in Golden Living Guest Home, LLC. It's a board and care for six people. It's bright and cheerful, and they encourage the people to engage in activities. I haven't had that much contact with the staff, but they seem very nice. I'm very pleased with them. There's a lot of light, and there's a backyard area with trees. They encourage people to walk and the first time I walked in before my mom moved in just to see the place, somebody was tossing a big ball around these people for physical activity. My mom crochets, but they also have her work on a matching game or a jigsaw puzzle. I've been very pleased with them. There are always people around. There are lots of people to socialize with and there are activities. We're paying almost the same as the other place she was at and yet I feel like I get a lot more at this place. The residents do manicures, some of them like to cut hair and pedicures and things like that."

"Aldersly Retirement was light and airy. The apartments were garden-style, not in a high-rise building. The garden area was first class. The food was very good. I sat with five other men, who love it there."

"They have a beautiful garden that is astounding. The decor there was breathtaking. Nothing like I've ever seen at a board and care or assisted living. It was very personable. It was a beautiful place. The owner and the other workers I saw there were very hands-on and kind, and that's very important to us, and very accommodating. It was a very nice facility overall. I got to see their meal plan and the dinner served. It was something that I would want to sit down and eat myself. It was home-cooked. It wasn't like a meal tray or anything like that. It was like a plate of food that you would sit down with your family and eat. I saw their activity schedule. They have the best price I've seen in the area."

"Belmont Village Albany was great and looked like a five-star hotel. The dining area was very nice. The person during the tour was very helpful. They had activities all day long. They could go to different areas, and if somebody wanted to come down, they had dining that they could do with family. The facility was very clean, very bright, and very open."

"Coterie Cathedral Hill checks all the boxes. It is a fantastic facility. It was quite expensive, so it's not for everybody, but it's a beautiful place and just top of the line. The facility is brand new and the amenities are lovely. They have valet parking and onsite parking for visitors, which makes it easy for the families to come. They welcome family members to come and dine with their loved ones, and we did. We went to an evening event where there was music. The food was excellent. They're also dog friendly, which is a big deal to people who have dogs. The people that I met were very pleasant and very accommodating."

"The Carlisle is an extremely upscale condominium for seniors and is great for elders who still want all the fabulous amenities. It is located in Lower Pac Heights in a quiet, but convenient location. At Post and Gough, it is just a few blocks away from Japantown, Fillmore St, Polk St, Whole Foods, and Safeway. "
