Memory Care Communities in Oakland, CA

"It was very nice. The room seemed very nice but small compared to my parents' place where there are 300 residents. This one had about 100 people living there, so that was nice. I would suggest more outdoor space for the residents. "

"Belmont Village is brand new, so there were a lot of people during open house. It was kind of hectic and crazy, but my questions were answered. It's a bit pricey, but it looked beautiful. The rooms looked comfortable. The person who showed me around was informative. The dining area looked very nice."

"What I like about Marymount Villa is that it's close to many things. It's close to the bus station so I can get around in the area here, the shops that I can go to, and the restaurants. The staff does a good job in taking care of me as well as people with disabilities. The room that I have is a fairly good size. I have my bed and my TV. Their dining room is nice with murals on the wall, but it would be nicer if they have a chef although the food is pretty good. They have some activities as well. The bad thing about it is that I am mentally competent, and most people that are going to assisted living don’t communicate so there is nobody to talk to. They can improve on answering the call button more efficiently. "

"Heart & Soul looked more like a home than a hospital, and made it easier to transition my grandmother there. The prices were very reasonable, the other patients that were there were similar in culture to my grandmother, and so it worked out. She is in a shared room, which is spacious and lovely. The private rooms were beautiful, but cost too much. The person that runs the program is amazing, the staff is amazing and take really good care of her. They have a garden, and people come in to do the residents’ hair and nails. I did see the food, it definitely was what I’m used to eating. My grandmother’s complaint was it wasn’t hot enough for her, so they have to reheat it. "

"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!"

"Coterie Cathedral Hill was a beautiful facility. The people were very nice. The food was excellent. Everything was nice there, but it was just too expensive. The lady who gave me the tour was very nice. The whole place was immaculate. It was a brand-new facility. They had tons of activities going on. They had a theater and a heated pool. They had all kinds of amenities. There was valet parking."

"We found it and things are going well so far. I picked it because they seemed to have nice rooms, lots of activities, and good care. The food looks good too. "

"My great uncle resides here and I highly recommend it. The Staff is kind and responsive and have made the difficult transition very easy for my uncle. He has been there 7 months now and I visit him at least once a week and he is doing very good. He is very comfortable and has made many friends. I am very happy we made the decision to go. "

"Sagebrook Senior Living is beautiful. I love it. It's just a bit too steep. They want $6,800 without the care, and that's kind of a bit too much for our income. The community is great. The view was fantastic. The accommodations were great. The staff was very nice and very helpful. The dining area was lovely. It had a piano and everything. It was really nice. I have nothing bad to say about it. We had lunch, and it was good. It looked like their families were there, so they were chatting and associating with their families, and then they went outside. It is old, and they're still doing construction."

"I found here for my father, and he moved in. So far it's good, he's in quarantine, and he's doing fine. He seems to be happy, they're very responsive if I call and check in, and they're very nice."

"I toured Bellara Senior Living. It was nice, very fancy. An experience that you want for anyone senior and transitioning into their later years. They have on-call nurses, and they have everything that you need there, you don't have to go out and get it, very much assisted. Everything is there all at once. You don't have to go anywhere. The staff was nice. They were very welcoming. They just wanted to get to know me and my family and make sure that if we were choosing that place, it would be the right place for us. It's a very new building. They had a bar. They had a bunch of seating areas. They had fancy bathrooms. They had a workout area. They had a whole courtyard where you could sit and talk and grill food. They had a beautiful kitchen that was restaurant-style."

"My mother was at The Kensington. The room was very sufficient for her needs. It was well-kept and well-prepared. She got a one-bedroom apartment. They had three meals a day. They had a lot of things to do. They had a music room, a library, and movies. They had pretty much everything anybody would look for. The place was very nice."

"My husband seems to have settled a little bit now at The Carlton. They have gone through a lot with him; it has not been easy. I chose this community because my husband is pretty young at 70 years old and has advanced Alzheimer's. He is a difficult case because he gets combative and aggressive. I needed to find a place that is comfortable and could handle that type of behavior. Carlton Senior Living Poets Corner is bigger, clean, and has quite a bit of space for my husband to explore and move around. They have a nice outdoor area, which was also important to me because he enjoys going outside. Carlton has several men closer in age to my husband and in a similar kind of situation. I felt he could make some friends he could watch basketball or football with. They said, 'We don't kick people out. We are professional." I feel their employees are professional, kind, and seem to really care. With their activities, they have lots of things going on and try to make it a pleasant, fun place to be."
