Memory Care Communities in Hayward, CA

"Sunol Creek Memory Care specializes in memory care, so their staff is trained to deal with people who have memory issues such as dementia or confusion. They know how to treat my friend. The staff talks to him and is nice to him. He has a private room, and we had to bring the furniture. He has a little TV that his family bought for him, as well as a bed, a small sofa, a chair, and a reading lamp. They have common areas where they serve breakfast, lunch, and dinner. They encourage residents to come to the common eating area, but sometimes the residents prefer to have their meals served in their rooms. They have an area for arts and crafts activities, and in their reception area, they offer good chocolate chip cookies."

"My parents have transitioned very well at Parkview because their staff is loving, and caring and made this very difficult move easier for parents. It's never easy moving your parents from their beloved home, but knowing that they are very well cared for with good meals, receive their medications, and living a beautiful setting makes it easier on the family. I would highly recommend Parkview "

"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."

"Emerald Valley is a beautiful facility. Mom lives there and the people are very helpful and very accommodating. The food is very good. They have a very good activity director and she has a very good list of activities that they have an opportunity to do on a daily basis. They have a calendar that is posted everywhere, noting those activities and times, and I am impressed. They also have live entertainment and they provide transportation to anywhere my mom would need to go to for appointments. The place is very clean. Their food is restaurant style, where residents are treated with a lot of dignity. They have waiters that will come to them and show them a menu. They also have a bistro which allows them fresh fruit and drinks any time."

"Eden Villa has a very caring staff and is a very light-filled, open, spacious, and pretty facility that doesn’t have any bad smell. They have activities like music, musicians coming in to play live music, visiting pets, and birthday parties. I had a sandwich for lunch one day, and it was fine, very basic. My dad had fish and vegetables and ate the entire thing. It has a really nice and big outdoor courtyard in the middle and super high ceilings in the main room, which makes it feel really spacious and light. I’ve never smelled urine or any bad smell, and this is the only place I went to that did not smell. The room is nice and has a window in it. It’s one of the nicest, if not the nicest place that I’ve looked at. There isn't a ton of amenities, but he doesn’t need a ton of amenities. They had a really nice activity room where they do arts and crafts, and framed artwork of the residents who can do artwork, which is really sweet. The dining room is nice, and they had three or four different lounge areas. "

"I visited Marymount Villa, and they were excellent. They were very clean, well organized, and they seemed like to have quite a few activities for the seniors; like bingo and music. They had a list of activities. The rooms were pretty spacious, and well maintained. I did not taste the food, but they had a full-menu available. The director helped me tour the property, and he answered all my questions. Overall, it was good. "

"Having just been at CreekView my second time & finding a huge amount of the same staff there from a year ago, was comforting in itself. They are the ONLY place I choose to go for rehab! Thank you for the wonderful, caring staff, including chefs, laundresses & housekeeping! Having been in 2 other places in the past, CreekView is the place to go! The physical therapists were awesome & so helpful! Thank you"

"Silver Point Plaza was an old facility that needed updating. It did not meet the needs of my dad, but the staff seemed to be very friendly and eager. The place was clean and provided activities. "

"We toured Watermark at San Ramon. It was very comprehensive and clean, and the person who toured the place with us was very knowledgeable. The food seemed okay because we ordered from the menu. The facility was a very well-run place, but it was not suitable for what we were looking for."

"Atria at Foster Square was very nice and very modern. It's like being on a cruise ship and you're on vacation or you're staying at a hotel, but it felt very homey. They provide activities like arts and crafts, and they do movies. They were watching the Super Bowl game at that time, and they had a big buffet going on. They had everything and the staff was great. I was really impressed with their restaurant, and it's open all the time. You can order and the menu was pretty amazing."

"I went to Meadow Gardens of Menlo Park, and I assigned my wife to stay there. The place has good vibes. I'm very happy with what I've seen so far and based on what I've seen in other places, it looks super to me. I've been there a total of maybe 2 hours. I looked at the place and I even met the chef and saw the room that my wife will occupy. I had a chance to critique certain details like how easily my wife could accommodate the toilet seat arrangement. There were a lot of little details that we talked about. I'm very happy with their responsiveness and their perspective on the whole situation. Plus, the facility itself is quite nice. It's in a residential area, and it looks like a large residence. It has the architecture and the layout of a residence. The staff were all quite dedicated. Every time somebody came by who was a potential caregiver, they stopped and introduced that person. They even introduced some people who are not on the staff there, but who happened to be there from some other auxiliary facility or some service organization. I was very happy with everybody I met there. I don't feel any tension in the place. Sometimes you go into a facility and you talk to the employees, you can detect tension, but I don't detect any tension there. Everybody is focused and with it, and responsive and friendly. All the positive things. The facility is immaculate. It looks cleaner than some of the hotels I used to stay in when I traveled in business. I was quite surprised by the room. I was expecting something quite generic. It's a very neat, clean, single bedroom with an adjacent bathroom. There is a window onto a garden from there, so that works. "

"I went to Sunrise of Redwood City. I toured their assisted living and memory care. I like that it was a complete care center where they don't force them to leave if they get too sick. The buildings were very nice. It's brand new. The person who assisted me was very knowledgeable. She answered all my questions. I saw that there was a lecture going on. The rooms were nice. There was a nice variety of sizes and designs."

"My friend moved here a few years ago, and I was ready to join her immediately! Later, a different friend's parents also moved here. This is a phenomenal community, with fascinating people (many from the Stanford community) and great facilities. They run buses to the Stanford Campus for residents to audit classes, or attend sporting and cultural events. It is right across the street from the nicest shopping center in Palo Alto. My aspiration is to move here someday, too! "
