Independent Living Communities in San Leandro, CA

"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."

"We enjoyed our tour. It had a nice garden area that all of the residents could go into on their own free will. The staff seem nice and caring. We were there for their Thanksgiving family lunch. So, families came in and interacted. The food was great. It was very nice."

"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."

"We're considering it because it's a 10-minute walk from where we live. The overall experience with my tour was very good. We got a lot of information and we saw the facility. It was good. We saw several rooms. The place was clean, neat, and well-lit. It looked safe for the residents to be in. I would describe the staff as caring, thoughtful, and non-invasive."

"My aunt moved into Byron Park and is having the best time! Every time we visit she's busy with her new friends, enjoying happy hours, live music and all the fun and interesting programs. She loves sitting in the garden and swimming in the pool. We love joining her for meals and activities and our kids and dog get so much love and attention from the staff. They treat her and our family so well and we always feel welcome when we visit. We can't recommend Byron Park enough!"

"My mom has been living at Atria Square in Foster City, CA since October 2024...I cannot begin to tell you how happy our whole family is with the entire staff and facility. The staff members know all the names of the residents and are ready to serve in any way needed. The atmosphere is like being on a cruise ship with all the amenities and activities offered. My husband and I often spend 4-6 hours there hanging out playing dominos and enjoying not only my mom and her friends but the entire staff and establishment. The events planned are top notch and the details are definitely picture worthy! Thank you, Atria Foster Square Staff for welcoming my mom and our family to be a part of yours!!"

"We went to Elegance Berkeley. It was extremely modern. Everything was very clean. The people that we met were nice. The facility is fairly new, so everything looked very, very nice."

"I toured The Heritage Downtown. It's gorgeous from the moment you enter the property. It has lots of trees, and it's beautifully maintained. The rooms were nice. They have a washer and dryer there. I would move in right now, but I don't need it right now. It was beautiful. It's a nice community. The place is 40 years old, but you wouldn't know it. It's just kept up beautifully. They're remodeling their kitchen downstairs. They have a nice gym. They have a nice pool. They have lots of patio and outdoor space. It's nice, like walking down the street near downtown Walnut Creek. I looked at a one bedroom and I looked at a two bedroom. I just met the one lady who greeted me and the one who did the tour. She was very nice. She answered all my questions. Everybody living there was having a good time. It was like you've grown up now, and now you're in a different level of the sorority house like you're back to college. I mean, that's the atmosphere I got. I enjoyed it."

"My father was in Cogir of Fremont Senior Living for respite. He had a hip replacement and needed a place to recover. They were pretty good. I give it high marks. He enjoyed that facility quite a bit. While we were there on two different occasions, we enjoyed live music. He enjoyed the restaurant sitting with other residents. He made a lot of fast friends and it was very useful for him socially to go out of his room. He spent very little time in his room because he enjoyed just the community. Even though his hip was hurting, he would still get out of his room and go around. That was a very good motivation for him to get up and move. The restaurant staff and the front desk staff were exceptional. They were all very helpful and very friendly. It was a delight for us to interact with them. We chose them because they had onsite physical therapists, but the physical therapist often did not show up or canceled or didn't assist with his hip recovery. It's a third party that they recommend to provide onsite physical therapy services. It's not a problem with Cogir directly. I asked them before I selected them if they had physical therapy, and they said yes. I contacted that person and then it didn't work out."

"I love everything about Atria. From the receptionist, carestaffs, waitstaff and the management. A lot of varieties of activities being offered. Angie the activities director and her assistant Annelly are doing a great job in the activities. They both decorate the community whenever we have special events. Happy hour is fun! Terrace and library is a plus!! The place is very well maintained and cleaned! I would highly recommend Atria Park of San Mateo! My home."

"I toured Carlton Senior Living Fremont for assisted living; however, my husband required a little more attention, so that was one of the reasons why I didn't go through with it. He has Parkinson's, and it has gotten worse. I like the services that Carlton Senior Living is offering. I like their layout, and the staff that helped me was very informative. I also dealt with the cafeteria individuals, and they were very attentive as well. We enjoyed the meal there. You could make little adjustments if you prefer something over another dish or whatever, so it was very good. I like the setup. Everything was spread out. There was a nice courtyard. They started some plantings in the courtyard, and another side where cars were parked. I think they thought of everything for those who can go into their facility and use it."

"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 would highly recommend living at Aldersly. The staff are all wonderfully dedicated & caring, they provide transportation & fun activities, the food is delicious, and the grounds are just gorgeous. If you are looking for a kind-hearted and professionally run complex, Aldersly is the one to choose!"
