Recent reviews of Independent Living in Alameda, CA
Carlton Senior Living Concord
5.0

The facility is very nice, close to stores, shops, parks & movie theatre. Lots of good restaurants near by. However, food is provided here, sometimes people like to go out to a restaurant. They have a lot of activities to do, a nice variety.

The Ivy at Golden Gate in San Francisco, CA
4.2

Most staff are very friendly, with occasional lapses in service (too busy to help dress; slow, slow kitchen sometimes); coordination of offsite pharmacy and medicine technicians could be better; like in any health care setting, patient advocacy (usually a family member) is essential (especially during the initial period) to insuring that the care is appropriate, complete and timely. Supervisory staff & management are very responsive.

TreVista-Concord
4.2

We are very happy with Tre-Vista Concord. It has been a very positive experience. My son is very happy there and we would recommend them to others looking and I already have to one of my friends.
