I toured The Point at Rockridge. The staff was accommodating. They have a calendar of events. They have a few activities. They had a beautiful bar. There was a nice view outside. It was an upper place where you could kind of just relax and have a drink. That was very nice and they showed me the other rooms. The food was excellent. We had lunch with them.

I toured The Point at Rockridge. The room was spacious and had good large windows, so it was well-lit. It had its own bathroom that was appropriately done. It had very adequate space for the storage of clothing. The room itself was not bad; it had a good feel. The large windows made it more welcoming and it was a spacious room. There would be plenty of room for a dresser, a bed, side tables, a small table, and a large chair that would easily fit in the room. I thought it was quite generous and welcoming. The staff who toured me was very informative and took the time. And this was a walk-in. We didn't even have an appointment. Everybody that we met was gracious and nice and seemed tuned to what was going on. I feel quite confident that it would be a place where my mother could be comfortable and would find a lot of the services that would be helpful for her to be safe in a friendly environment. The other thing is that, if memory care was not necessarily where my mother wanted to be, but assisted living, that seemed to be an open possibility. They seemed to have some fair flexibility. Another thing is that the staff that was doing the tour with us, ran the place, and she got into it because she had parents who had Alzheimer's that she was a personal caregiver for until they died. She went back to college to get a degree so that she could be helpful to people who were going through what she had gone through handling and dealing with parents with dementia. So I think it gave her a particular insight and competency for the position. I think that helps the entire ethos of the place.

I met with a very nice woman at The Point at Rockridge and she gave me a lovely tour which started with lunch. She said, "Come on over for lunch." It's a delicious free lunch in this large, sunny restaurant for everybody. She's a director there. I asked her how many residents they had, because on their website it said 186, and she said, "Oh, no. 143." So it's smaller than I thought and spacious. I saw a couple of studios that were simple, not large, but maybe ample for one person without much need to cook in the room or entertain in the room, or mainly you would have your activities outside of the room, but it was exceedingly clean and well-organized with modern appliances, a nice refrigerator and beautiful fixtures in the bathroom and light fixtures. When it comes to the overall rating of the facility, inside was a five rating, but outside, it's on a very busy corner with a very busy street that has two lanes going in each direction. Across the street, there's a big mall and restaurants and so for me, I did not get the sense that I could go outside and easily have a walk around the neighborhood. The people knew the director and she was kind to people and conversational and was just wonderful. The lunch we had was better than average. The facility was a big high rise so it's boring and square with elevators, but it was wonderfully maintained inside with ample space for the areas and very clean, and kind of refurbished with good rugs and recently painted. They had studios and one bedroom. Again, there are elevators going up and down to the sixth floor. All of the apartments have balconies. Some of the balconies look out on the street side, but a lot of them have balconies that look out on the courtyard side. There's a lovely courtyard down below. It's big where they have events, music, and barbecue. It was very nicely designed as a structure. There isn't a lot of planting outside, but what they have is very nice. The residents got together and were unhappy with the vegetation so they took over maintaining the gardens. So, there's a great deal of pride in the plantings by the residents.

I had mixed feelings about The Point at Rockridge. The rooms were a little small coming from a three-bedroom condo for my sister. And that was her comment, "The rooms were a little small." She liked that they had two bathrooms, one for the guest. She liked that it was a very bright place. The halls were well-lit. They seemed to have a lot of activities. The residents that we saw all looked like they were happy. The people we met along the way in the halls and in the elevator were very friendly. So, the residents overall were very content with where they were. I would live there.

We chose The Point at Rockridge for my husband because it is very close to our home. I haven't been to many other facilities. From our point of view, this facility is pretty good. It's very clean. My husband's room is a decent size, and it has a kitchenette. There is a decent size bathroom and a balcony. It's very convenient. Everything is provided. It has its own air-conditioning. They have a nice sized library, and it's very well presented. It has a sofa, and it's very comfortable and quiet. They have a lounge on the top floor, and you can see the Golden Gate Bridge or the bay. It's very nice, and it's always open. You can go there any time. It's quiet and clean. They have an exercise room with the machines there, and you can go and use it any time. They provide laundry services once a week. If you have more laundry, you can do it yourself. They have two or three laundry rooms throughout the building, and they're very convenient located. They provide three meals that are all served and are warm. Their food is fresh and the kitchen staff is very friendly and helpful. They have a dining room. They have multipurpose rooms, and they provide all types of activities in that room. They have a backyard garden. It's beautiful, and you can go there any time you want to. Regarding the staff, 95% of them are good, responsive, and friendly. We did meet one staff who was not friendly. They do not have that many activities, but definitely more than enough for my husband. They have a movie theater. Everything is provided. It's like a cruise ship. I really liked it. They have nice big seating rooms on every floor. They have a lounge and an exercise room.

I liked that The Point at Rockridge had physical therapy onsite. The building itself was kind of old, however, they had more activities (each floor had its own activity room) and they had a bigger space for the residents to do activities. They also take the residents outside. This month, they're planning to take them to go see the hot air balloon. They provide you with a refrigerator and a microwave in the room. They quite maintained the building nicely. The lady that took me around was very nice, very informative and she's very open to all our questions. She did great.
