Mom did not want to leave her home, but she was not safe to live alone. From our first inquiry with Parveen, and many telephone calls to get answers to our questions, we were very impressed with her professionalism. My family is extremely happy with the continued care and the services provided. The staff is friendly, caring and compassionate. If there is a need or request, the staff always seem eager to assist. I like using the Carefield app that lists daily menus and activities. Mom likes the food and there are plenty of activities that interest her. I also appreciate the periodic reviews and treatment plan updates from the Carefield nurse, Kathy. Kathy will sometimes send me photos when mom is involved with a fun activity. I am grateful that mom is in good and caring hands. A big thank you to the staff at Carefield.

Actually: 3 1/2 stars. There are many things to admire about Bellara. Alas, there are also some…read moreweak spots. In the good column: design. The rooms have have ceiling with high windows. The apartment kitchen is full, though whoever thought putting the freezer on top of the fridge should be relegated to a lifetime of stooping to find things. PUblic spaces are well designed too, espcially the main foyer. And for now at least the price is relatively good. Staff is very friendly and helps whenever possible. (A special shout-out to Facility Manager Art Blancas.) A major flaw is the food. You pay for it whether you eat it or not. The few times we tried it meats were vastly overcooked and tasteless. (Salads are good.) So we buy our own food and cook it.

This review is long overdue. My father moved into Bellara in February and has been there for 3…read moremonths now. He had health issues that required extra supervision. Originally, he was at a different facility which was nice but above our budget. After touring Bellara with a friend who was also looking for care for her mother, we decided on Bellara. It is a beautiful facility, with spacious rooms, a lot of activities, impressive meals and caring staff. The initial meetings with Dominic Ong are what sealed the deal. He was a great listener, helped us problem solve, listened to our needs and was transparent on pricing and ways we could potentially save. He did not sell us any gimmicks and was very sincere. My dad loves his room, the spacious bathroom and independence. We are very grateful to Dominic and the staff at Bellara.

A year ago, I was planning to sell my house in Castro Valley and move to a retirement community. I…read morevisited various places in Livermore, San Leandro, and Hayward. I liked Baywood Court the best because there is no expensive buy-in and the monthly rent is reasonable. From number 16 on the waiting list I was able to move in at mid-February. I have a one-bedroom apartment of 600 square feet facing the pool. It's between two exits so it's very convenient for my dog to go out for his business. Plus there is a half-mile trail inside the facility for his daily walk. I enjoy going through the Rose Garden and the Gazebo along many beautiful flowers and plants. Living at Baywood is like living in a hotel or a cruise ship. There is 24/7 lighting and air conditioning/heat throughout the building. I get weekly house-cleaning, change of bed linens and towels. I just leave my garbage at the door and all the packages I ordered are delivered to me . The two meals a day can be stretched to three because of the many options I can choose. In the one year I have been here, I have not cooked one meal for myself. No more driving to the gym. I just walk down the hall to my Tai Chi, Chair Yoga, and Zumba classes. We also have lots of performance by outside artists and regular health and informational meetings. Just this week we had Martini Monday, Coffee Social, and Tequila Thursday. You can play pool, jigsaw puzzles, Mahjong and many table games at the Game Room. There are also daily drive to shopping and regular visit to museums and scenic areas. Baywwod also has many group activities such as Sunday mass, Thursday Bible study, grief sharing, Spanish class, arts and crafts, movie and sports night, etc. I joined the Knit Wits to make projects for charity. I am the inventory manager and also volunteer as a cashier for our general store called The Cubby. The staff at every Department here are friendly and efficient. I love the community of other residents. The management does such a good job that I was pleasantly surprised when our rent did not go up for this year. I am so glad God provided me Baywood Court where I can live out the rest of my years feeling safe and secure.

My wife and I visited Baywood Court a few times and discovered a hidden gem! The courtyards and the…read moreinteriors are thoughtfully well designed and maintained with a gazebo, outdoor kitchen and even a swimming pool and spa which are rare to come by in these senior living communities. There is definitely a sense of familial connection as we watched many residents happily chatting and mingling with each other. They also serve delicious and healthy food which is a major and central factor in senior living communities (a big "shout out" to the dining team!) We are very thankful to both Jody and Nanette for making our visits extremely pleasant each time. They have been more than helpful, patient and gracious with us and we happily look forward to being part of the Baywood Court family!

Compared to many other places we visited, their service charges are more reasonable--and the best part is that they include more services without adding extra fees. The rent is also more affordable, making it a smart choice for families who want excellent care without the high price tag. We had the pleasure of touring the facility with RJ, the marketing director, who has been working at Landmark Villa for 15 years. Despite her long tenure, she remains genuinely passionate about her work. She took the time to walk us through the entire community, explain every detail clearly, and answer all of our questions with patience and care. Although we ultimately chose another community due to the longer distance from my home, I still feel Landmark Villa would have been a great fit for my mom. If you're looking for a warm, well-managed, and affordable place for your loved one, I highly recommend visiting Landmark Villa as part of your decision-making process.

After the passing of her husband of 27 years, my stepdad, in 2020, things were hard. Mom couldn't live alone anymore. I tried two assisted living homes, but they didn't compare to Landmark. The staff here, from the receptionist to the caretakers to the med techs to the executives overseeing the place, are all wonderful. Every day there is a schedule of activities, from balloon badminton to trivia to bingo. They have tea parties, live music, happy hours. Today when I visited mom activity coordinator Mariah was doing her nails. That is above and beyond in my book. They decorate for every holiday. The lobby, dining room and individual rooms are inviting and bright. The energy is great. Bottom line: I haven't seen my mom this happy in years. And that gives me peace of mind you can't put a price on.

We are deeply grateful to San Leandro Senior Living for the exceptional care and support they…read moreprovided to our 95-year-old mother during her recovery from a serious femur fracture. From the executive director and management team to the caregivers, dining staff, housekeeping, and everyone we encountered, the compassion, professionalism, and attentiveness were consistently outstanding. The staff treated her with dignity, patience, and genuine warmth while encouraging her independence as she regained strength and confidence. The facility itself was clean, comfortable, and welcoming. Thanks in large part to their quality care and supportive environment, she was ultimately able to return home and resume independent living. Our entire family sincerely appreciates all they did for her. Don K.

Clean and organized. 3. Variety of decent meals. 4. Just a block from downtown San Leandro and BART. Convenient to walk/wheel for lunch, library, barber shop, bakery, etc. 5. Pleasant dining room and television room 6. Morning activities offered in television room. 7. Easy to communicate with staff. 8. Facility is not too large. The missing star is related only to the size of some of the shared rooms. Not unusual. My elderly family member with quite advanced dementia has been here for over two years. I have visited at least once weekly, and at different times. I've had the opportunity to observe the staff both with him and with other residents. They are unfailingly kind and patient-- and cheerful, too. It's rare in a residential facility (this is his third), and worth everything. Too often a facility looks beautiful, but has awful care. Rosemont's care is exceptional.

By pure chance I found this wonderful care home. The process of finding a care home for my elderly…read moremother was filled with confusion, fear and frustration, along with the reality of the cost. I knew I wanted a small facility so that my mom would get individualized care. The owner, Jackie, was immensely helpful with the process. When I needed proof that my mother did not have TB, Jackie suggested going to urgent care to have a chest x-ray, even sending someone to go with me to help handle my mother so that I could have her admitted that day. In fact, Jackie sends someone to go with me to every doctors appointment since I cannot carry my mom in and out of the car to get her in the wheelchair. The first day they asked for a list of her food likes and dislikes, and tailor her meals to what she feels like eating. They take care of laundry, food, etc. without the nickel & dime extra costs that most other facilities charge. They have large TVs for every room with many streaming options (Disney, Netflix, sports channels, etc.) and were MUCH cheaper than the other facilities I looked into. On holidays and special occasions, Jackie orders a boatload of food for visitors to enjoy while they spend time with loved ones, and has even out of her own pocket bought things for the residents. My mother has received outfits, socks, blankets, Christmas gifts, etc. just because Jackie loves spoiling the residents! She has a very good heart and honestly cares for everyone treating them like family. The staff are attentive and very caring, also treating everyone like family. My mother loves the hugs she gets and feels very loved. That is the best thing about this home - my mother does NOT want to leave this place!

From day one, the caregivers and the owner, Jackie, went above and beyond to make sure he was comfortable, cared for, and treated with genuine kindness. The home itself is always spotless -- I've never once seen a bit of clutter or trash on the floor. Every visit, the beds were neatly made, and the atmosphere felt calm, organized, and welcoming. One thing I truly appreciated was that visits never required a heads-up -- a reflection of their confidence in maintaining consistently excellent care. The caregivers, especially Rhyle, are compassionate and attentive. They follow each resident's individual routines with care, and a calm and friendly manner. Jackie, the owner, is deeply invested in the well-being of every resident. She's transparent, honest, and clearly motivated by compassion rather than profit -- a refreshing change after our experience with another facility that raised prices without reason. I wholeheartedly recommend this home to anyone looking for a safe, nurturing, and genuinely caring environment for their loved one.
