Assisted Living Communities in Oakland, CA

"Elders Inn seemed like a good place. It seemed like a nice, safe place. It was clean. They had activities for the residents and a lot of physical therapy and so forth, so it seemed like a good place. My dad had a private room. It was spacious. He had his own bathroom. We needed to buy a mini-fridge to put in there. They had lot of activities. Every half an hour, it seemed like they had something going on, i.e., musicians performing in the music room, bingo, yoga classes, and things like that. The staff seemed helpful. I would recommend this place to others. My dad was only there for maybe about four or five months. "

"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. "

"Waters Edge Lodge welcomes residents as family. All staff knows each resident and cheerfully assist them. I’ve lived at The Lodge for 2 ¼ years. I’m 93 years old and I hope to live to 100 years on this warmth and caring community. "

"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."

"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."

"I have visited Marymount Villa, and this is definitely where my mother-in-law is in. It is very small. She is on the psychiatric floor, so she needs very special attention. The care seems to be fine. They all knew her. I think the food is excellent. I was impressed with it. "

"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."

"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."

"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."

"I liked The Carlisle because you have the option to buy the unit. My mom liked the size of it because it was big but not too big. She also liked the dining room and amenities. They have a beautiful dining room and beautiful common areas."

"The people at Ivy Park at Cathedral Hill seemed very nice. There's diversity of people, residents, and staff there, which I think is important. It's a very pretty place. The sizes of the rooms were normal. They seemed nice and very comfortable, but there were too many stairs and it was a little too large for my brother to navigate. He would have been lost there. The person that took me on the tour was very nice. He answered all the questions I had and was very forthcoming as far as what they provide and the monies and things of that nature."
