My Mother had a recent health scare and the support of the Nursing staff was above and beyond what I thought was possible. The significant care and concern was like she had her family caring for her. I think that is the ultimate compliment--the care of a family! Expect to make friends if you come here!

They used bait-and-switch tactics, putting her first in a spacious room to get her to sign up, then moving her to a cold dark room in an isolated part of the building a week in.

Hospice sent a large box of supplies and they left it on the floor of her room, creating a fall hazard. They apparently expect an invalid with a paralyzed arm to put bandages away.

Elders Inn is a well-run family-owned managed business located in Alameda. This facility is a safe, wonderful, engaging place for the residents who live there and for the family/friends who visit them. It is very 'clean' and the residents are cared for appropriately. We have found the staff to be very professional, kind, caring, and attentive to the needs of the residents. The nursing staff does an excellent job in medication management and any other medical issues which may arise. A monthly calendar of events is provided to each resident containing all the daily activities, entertainment, and special events which the residents can optionally attend. We have always felt welcome when visiting. The management and staff have always been responsive to our needs and requests.

Newsweek's prestigious list of America's Best Nursing Homes for 2025 ranked Alameda's facilities as #1 in Alameda County and 14th in California among nursing homes with more than 150 beds. Newsweek's annual ranking of America's Best Nursing Homes is designed to guide families in their search for high-quality, long-term care options. It is developed in partnership with Statista, a global leader in data and market analysis. This year's list was based on an analysis of more than 14,000 nursing homes across the 25 states with the highest concentration of facilities. The rankings were determined by evaluating nursing homes across four key pillars, including performance data, peer recommendations, accreditations, and resident satisfaction.

While the care staff was mostly kind, the food decent, and the common areas clean and homey, the administration was cold, unresponsive, and disorganized from start to finish. You can expect rent and care fees to increase by 40% in 6 months. They seem to have no capacity for digital communication and were slow to respond--except when raising prices. I was even mistakenly given another resident's financial and personal information, brushed off as a "mix-up." by the staff Due to their negligence, my mother's move-in date was delayed and I was told that she was "not allowed in the building" a day before. At one point, while I was out of town, she fell and broke her ankle in three places. I was initially told she only had a UTI that needed hospital treatment, it was only later that I found out about the badly broken ankle. Later, she developed pressure sores due to a lack of proper wheelchair cushioning. The day she entered hospice, they informed me same day that her care fees would now be at the maximum rate-- yet meaningful communication on other issues was nonexistent. Even after her passing, the reimbursement process dragged on for six weeks, with no response after multiple follow-ups. A heartbreaking and ironically uncaring experience from start to finish. Would never recommend Lakeside Park to anyone.

The members of staff at Piedmont Gardens were very helpful and friendly.

If there were any unfortunate reasons why we would have to go back, I wouldn't hesitate to reach back out to Piedmont Gardens. I would also like to thank Georgia and Rogger for helping me navigate the stressful time with my grandparents recovering from their hospital visit. Their help allowed me to get the best care for my grandparents.

In 2020, my mom spent one month at Harbor Bay for respite care after a hospital stay.

While there, we both also appreciated it was always spotlessly clean. Nancy, the owner of Harbor Bay Assisted Living, is frequently on site and very hands on with residents. Forward two years, and my mother has returned. She has been there for six months and is now in the position where she is no longer able to advocate for herself.
