Memory Care Communities in Lafayette, CA

"The staff was very helpful and friendly. I know there were some COVID-related restrictions in terms of what we can't visit or which specific areas. But we got a feel for it because like the common dining room had a big glass panel so we could see it from the patio. We got to tour what a typical room looks like, and the staff was very helpful. They told us what's there, what it looks like, and the surrounding areas."

"Walnut Creek Care Home didn't have any openings, but the house was spotless. It was very, very clean. The staff there was great. There was no smell of urine or something like that. For me, this particular home just needed some remodeling. It was dated, but that doesn't detract from the fact that it was spotless and the people that were working there were wonderful. They had very caring and long-tenured staff members."

"Oakmont was brand new. I thought that part of it was designed for people with memory issues. We saw a room that was fine. They were willing to work with us moving from assisted care to memory care. The location was pretty good as far as being adjacent to the freeway. I knew one of the salespeople, and she was willing to work with people. I knew the chef and the guy who was doing the dining at the dining area. I thought the facility looked good. It would be worth taking a look. "

"The location and facility are beautiful. Staff was warm and welcoming. The residents were engaged in activities and recognized by the staff, by name. The assisted living part of the facility was bustling on our 2nd visit & that was very impressive. The entire place was gorgeous."

"The facilities are of a very high standard, everything is clean and tidy and the maintenance is pretty good.The health services and assistance there varies from person to person but I found that it's of the highest possible quality, available at any time day or night and the staff genuinely care for the people that stay there.I'm really happy with the actual living spaces for the residents - there's a proper sense of independence whilst providing a needed monitoring and assistance very close by at all times.I think the visitor parking isn't anything special but that's a small complaint.

"We were very interested in Montecito Oakmont. There was nothing we did not like about the place. They had very comprehensive and genuine care, a very up-to-date facility, a great deal of scheduled activities, and a lot of amenities. The living quarters and dining room were beautiful. It is a very large place with very long hallways. It was laid out really well. It looked more like a hotel resort with its center courtyard, pool, and jacuzzi than a typical senior living facility. "

"We went to Sunrise in Danville and that was the only community that we visited. It's a lot more better than a nursing home. Right now, our search for care is on hold. We're fine for now. If my father-in-law will be needing a place, this is going to be the one. But my dad is not ready for this. I must say that everybody in the community was very helpful, especially the staff. It's a nice visit. "

"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."

"The appearance and layout is quite tremendous. The buildings and facilities are beautiful. The staff members are phenomenal, wonderful, and friendly people. I've only been here for several weeks and they always seem to know my name. They have a very large dining room that's beautifully done, where they serve breakfast, lunch and dinner. I prefer to make my own breakfast and dinner on occasion because I have a nice kitchen. There's a tremendous amount of activities for the residents, and you can do what you like. Tomorrow we're going to the zoo, which should be fun."

"My friend lived at Belmont Village Albany assisted living for three years before moving to their memory care area for the past year. For a long time she took advantage of all the activities on the independent side, but slowly her memory grew worse and her anxiety became inconsolable. She would call me and other friends multiple times per day in a panic and forget she had called. She became resistant to care and paranoid that people were playing tricks on her. It became clear that she was not thriving in her social group and needed more than assistance with showers and housekeeping. Her son agreed to move her to memory care and almost immediately she began to relax. There she has been able to participate in activities again and the staff is very patient. Her mood improved unbelievably and it was a big relief to me to see her smiling and laughing again. Her dementia is still progressing but she is so well adjusted in her routine. I don't know how they got her to do it but I am very grateful. "

"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."

"I visited Westmont of Pinole and toured their memory care. It was fine and looked like a good place. It was clean, and it seemed like they were taking care of the people there very well. The only thing is that the price was just too high for us. I don't think we could afford what they were charging. During the tour, the staff was helpful."
