The Best Senior Living Communities in Piedmont, CA

"I'm in Bellaken Garden & Skilled Nursing Center for rehab, and it's been very good. I also like the fact that they're in a military insurance provider network. The upkeep is very good, too. It was hard for me to learn about the staff here. Once I did, they were very dedicated to their job. They are very good. My primary concern was having insurance coverage for the facility that I went to. I'm a Navy veteran and have life insurance coverage. My main motivation was to get into a facility that was in my insurance provider's network. Bellaken is in their network. It was a little bit difficult for me to get used to the food at first. A lot of the residents here are Asian, so the food has an Asian quality to it. The food really is quite good."

"I toured the Oakmont of Mariner Point. It's beautiful and in a beautiful neighborhood, overlooking the water. I'm not choosing it because they don't have enough level of care. Janet and Charles are great. They gave a gift bag like a box of cookies but no sampling of meals. They didn't even show me rooms. I only talked to them and the dining room, they didn't show me. Maybe there wasn't a room that was clean at that moment. I don't know. I don't care, I didn't need to see the room because I knew it wasn't appropriate."

"My life has improved since moving to Cardinal Point . I enjoy my quiet apartment, meals in the dining room, many opportunities to exercise, join reading/discussion groups, play board/card games, work in the garden, walk along the estuary and thru the lovely neighborhood. With advance planning, transportation to neighboring cities, medical appointments and local errands is provided . The laundry rooms, reading rooms and library, all public spaces are well maintained. Staff is helpful and pleasant."

"I toured the Elders Inn. It had a beautiful courtyard, was clean, and had no unpleasant odors. The front desk and touring staff coordinator were very nice. Tristan was great. It is located on a busy street but the old folks are not going to be walking along the street and it's across the street from a gas station. It's an old building in an old part of town but that's not their fault."

"We toured Belmont Village Albany. They had a lot of activities. We liked the programs that they had. We liked that they also had medical staff 24/7. Their place was very light and bright. They have multiple areas for eating and they’re very modern. We had cookies. They just came out for their afternoon snacks and they were really good chocolate cookies."

"I went to Ivy Park at Oakland Hills. The woman was great. We toured and we had been there before because I live nearby, but it was like five or six, seven years ago, and now it's been re-purchased or they've remodeled some of the rooms. The tour was great. And. It's a very nice facility. The rooms are spacious and they have beautiful views either of the bay or of trees. It's very calming. The rooms are modern. They're nice. And I think my mom would have liked it if it offered better weather."

"The tour at Waters Edge Lodge was very thorough. The gentleman that gave the tour was very friendly and knowledgeable. It was very informative and pleasant. It went well. He showed me probably three or four different floor plans. They have a movie room, and they have a happy hour once a week. They have some live music in the lounge area. They have excursions for the seniors. There's a courtyard, a beauty salon, and a little coffee area. It was a nice facility, but I liked the other place better."

"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."

"My mother is with Aldersly. They offer many activities for residents and provide services. The staff is very friendly and accommodating. It's a totally different living environment than what I'm used to, but the room sizes were plenty for my mother. They have workout areas for the retirement community. Of course, they're very different from the workout gyms that people my age would use. Their dining facilities are very nice, and they have excellent cooks. I think it provides good service and good living facilities for the money, so we're satisfied. We have no complaints about the financial situation."

"I was very pleased with Marymount Villa. The staff was wonderful. As soon as I walked into the door, there was somebody there who greeted me. When I went to each floor, there were members of the staff with the residents and they all greeted me. The room that I saw had 2 beds in there, and I was OK with that. The residents were doing activities while I was there, and some were dancing. Their dining room looked great."

"Upside is that I'm eating healthy and downside is that I'm gaining weight because the food is so fabulous and beautifully served. My favorite dish is a full plate of anything the Chef serves. From their servers to their Director the service is impeccable. The food here makes everyone happy and everyone wants to be together at meals to socialize."

"My friend will be moving into Ivy Park at Cathedral Hill. It's amazing. It's beautiful. It's perfect. Everything is lovely. He loves it."

"My parents are now in the assisted living of The Carlisle, and our experience so far has been very good. We're very satisfied and happy with it. The meal I had there was quite good, and they had a very nice, varied menu, and it's very high quality. It was very clean and bright, they have very large rooms with nice views out on the balconies. I would consider living there myself. There are a lot of activities available, and they have a very, very wide-ranging program, which I was happy with. They look like they have excursions, they take people out to venues outside in San Francisco, and transportation is provided. They also bring in lectures and musicians, and that sort of thing, and they have in-house activities and excursions outside the facility. The staff has been very friendly, welcoming, and very attentive."
