Assisted Living Communities in Pinole, CA

"I am a resident of Cogir of North Bay Senior Living. We have cable and Wi-Fi. We have three meals a day and we have light house cleaning. We have transportation on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Fridays, and Fridays are for medical only. We have lots of activities and table games. We also go on outings once a month for lunch and once a month for dinner. There's an activity for this weekend coming up. They're going to San Francisco to have dinner at a restaurant over there, and they will take a ferry. So, that ought to be fun. We have bingo three times a week. I have a one-bedroom, kitchen, living room, and bathroom, but no stove in the kitchen because meals are cooked on the premises. There's a walk-in shower, which is much easier for everybody to get around in. The value is comparable to what we would spend if we had our own place. I ended up saving a couple of hundred from the one that we have there."

"Chateau Pleasant Hill is very good, and the staff seems fine. My mother-in-law does not have any complaints. They were very helpful to her. The rooms are adequate, and the food is very good. The dining area is nice, very open, and bright. They can take trips if they want to sign up for them, and there are some exercise classes every day and movies. "

"Our experience was very good. The staff seemed to be interested in introducing the place to me. They knew what they wanted and they were courteous to me. I could only see the rooms that were not being used, and of course they've cleaned them up, so they were clean."

"Who's writing this review? l'm a 76-year-old man , a retired editor, who uses a wheelchair as his substitute SUV. Covid, sadly, put communal life at The Point into lockdown for a year, suspending most of the activities that make this place such a delightful home in normal times. Now that life is beginning to reawaken, we have a lot to look forward to, especially the many activities designed to keep us fit, active, entertained, and involved with each other. My regular favorites have included "brain games," drumming/singing sessions, and a writing group that l hope will return. There's much else: outings to shows, gentle exercise groups, movies in our mini-theater . . . For relaxation outdoors and a top-up of vitamin D on sunny days, we have a charming patio. I'm told that Happy Hour is . . . happy, but l spend that time of day sipping Crystal Geyser in private! l was very taken with the look of the facility on my first visit. As l walked in, a side glimpse of residents taking their lunch in the dining room gave me the unexpected feeling that l was in a four-star hotel. Touring the rest of the building confirmed that impression: all the design elements were in excellent taste, there were amenities of all kinds, from a gym to a library, and upkeep was immaculate. l was shown a few apartments. One-bedrooms would have overstretched my budget, but studios were within my reach, and when l eventually moved in a few months later, it was into a spacious one on the top (sixth) floor, with an expansive view of the sky and, in the distance, the Marin Headlands. l consider myself lucky to have this apartment, but it can't be that superior to others in the building because l haven't met anyone who was downbeat about theirs. Catering became a bit of a challenge when Covid made supplies less dependable, but our cuisine has now returned to its former, enviable standard, i.e., meals are delicious, varied, and served with grace. ls there anything about our food that l'd like to tweak? Yes. l would give greater honor to the vegetable kingdom. Not that l'm a vegetarian, and not that any vegetarian would go hungry here, but l think veggies have more to give us than our menus acknowledge. l'm grateful each day for the conscientious, loving teams that support our lives: caregivers, medical technicians, meal servers, chef's crew, program leaders, maintenance staff, administrators . . . l'm more than satisfied at the Point. l enjoy the abundance of services the community has to offer. l like and love the people of all kinds with whom l share a home. l appreciate the freedom to set my own degree of privacy. And l feel secure in the care of a warm, responsive staff under the guidance of enlightened management. So, would l recommend The Point? You get three guesses! "

"Atria Park of Lafayette was very clean and very nice. The staff was very helpful. She answered all my questions and she called later to check out and see if there are any other questions. She was very nice. Everything was in order, well kept, and clean."

"My husband has moved into Rose Cottage. They're very responsive to my needs. They take good care of my husband, and he seems to be doing well there. They keep up with everything. They make sure he has what he needs, medication-wise and food-wise. The least I like is the type of food. One reason why we chose it was the price. The staff was very friendly. They listen to what I say. They communicate with me if he needs something. The rooms are fine and meet our needs. He eats in his room, but they have a table if people want to eat out there in the dining area. He can get up, but they have to use a Hoyer lift, so they have that. They're very nice people. It's not the fanciest place, but it has a homey atmosphere. I'm happy there."

"My husband will be moving into the Bluffs at Hamilton Hill. It just seemed the most suitable and the best fit for him. I thought the environment was wonderful. It had everything he could possibly need - exercises, art classes, personal grooming care, laundry, and people coming in to clean his apartment. The apartments were brand new. The food looked excellent. We went to an open house and the hors d'oeuvres that they served were fantastic. The people that were helping me navigate through the process did a wonderful job."

"We toured The Vincent and it was lovely. It was high-end compared to the other facilities that we visited. It looked like a lovely place for people who require such assistance. The staff seemed to be wonderful. We looked at the exercise room, the dining room, and the sports bar, and then we looked at a couple of apartment units. They were model rooms, so they were not occupied, but everything was very clean. The aesthetics were excellent - the color scheme and the finished work. They had a senior activities coordinator who appeared to be on the ball and had several regular events arranged for the residents. It was a little expensive, but other than that, it looked fine."

"What I like about this place is that it was available right away. We didn't have to wait. It was very nice and the people are friendly. It's a very pleasant place. The staff is good to my parents and they check on them all the time. Their rooms are larger than most of the places I inquired. They even have a sitting area in their room. The food is very good and I would really recommend this place to others. They are happier now since they moved in. "

"I toured Lake Park Senior Living. It was a beautiful place. It's on the lake. I saw from the upper level a lady walking on a large walking trail on one of the rooftops, and she was alone. I asked the lady who was showing me around. I said she was alone. What happens if she falls or something? The assistant reminded me that they have a little something with them at all times so that they would know immediately and send help, so I like that. I like everything about it. It is in Oakland, California, and Oakland has a reputation for crime, but that community was only less than three miles from where my son lived, so that made it nice. She said they offered trips to town once a week. They had several other things they offered. I did have lunch at Lake Park, and that was good. The lady who showed me around was very nice and informative. What I saw was a one-bedroom and a living room."

"Everybody seemed very personable. The staff was great and very friendly; we liked them a lot. The other rooms were quite nice and had patios and balconies. It was a large facility, and the rooms seemed a little more spread out. They had a beautiful courtyard and activities. They had a calendar, a newsletter, and a website. I was impressed with it. "

"Oakmont of Concord memory care provides a warm and supportive environment where each resident feels loved by the staff. My mother has consistent contact with same caretakers every day, which is important In building a sense of home, for my mother. Her room has lots of space and she doesn't share a bathroom which was important for her since she is such a private person. The compassionate, highly trained staff provide a nurturing warm place to be. I if you want peace of mind that your loved one is in the right place, then oakmont is for you"

"We visited Drake Terrace and we liked everything about it. It's very well-run, everybody was very friendly and welcoming, and very cheerful. It had a lot of light and a lot of fun activities. The rooms are very bright and cheerful, and the food is good. They have a workout room and an activity room where they do movies and holiday things. The grounds are very well-kept. The atmosphere is very warm and family-like, and everybody's very nice to each other. What we saw was their independent living. They have other things too but we did not visit their assisted and memory care because what we wanted was just independent living. "
