San is an exceptional leader -- steady, approachable, and clearly invested in both residents and staff. What always strikes me is the consistency. The community is clean and welcoming, and I'm greeted by team members every time I walk in. We've partnered on dementia education and discussions around senior isolation, and the staff's professionalism and willingness to engage really impressed me. I don't say this lightly -- if my own mother ever needed this type of support, I would feel confident placing her here.

Choosing a memory care home is never easy, and after visiting several places, I felt that Concord…read moreRoyale was the right choice. I was looking for something smaller, more personal, and as close to a home-like environment as possible. What stood out to me right away was the ratio of caregivers to residents; 3 caregivers for about 12 residents, which creates a level of attention and care that is hard to find. From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere felt warm and welcoming. Connie, the executive director, is attentive, kind, and truly cares. We immediately felt comfortable there. I visited frequently, about five times a week, at different times of day, and consistently experienced the same level of care. The staff was attentive, supportive, and genuinely present. I always felt at ease knowing he was in good hands. The food was also very good, which mattered a lot, as he really enjoyed his meals. I would especially like to recognize Miguel from the memory care unit. His care and presence are truly exceptional. He has a natural gift for what he does: compassionate, professional, and deeply attentive. He truly stands out because he genuinely cares, and you can feel that in the way he shows up every day. I always felt I could rely on him completely, and his support made a meaningful difference. I'm truly grateful for the care and environment provided here.

We had an awful experience with this place, after our loved one lived her for many years, Connie…read moredecided she wanted her to move out. The reasons she gave were "she doesn't want to get out of bed" or "she's lazy and doesn't listen to what we tell her to do". These statements were alarming to hear regarding an 81 year old elderly woman with dementia who had known the Concord Royale a her home for a long time. These negative remarks from Director Connie also had us worried for how our loved one was being spoken to and treated. Connie also expressed anger and said many negative criticizing things because our loved one became incontinent. We found all of this strange as all of the above are typical things which happen to a person who is elderly and has beginning stages of dementia. In our conversations with Connie, she suddenly did a very odd "about face" and said if we paid $350 a month extra money, our loved one could stay at the Concord Royale. At this point, as sad as it was to have her move while she had many friends for years who she would likely miss, we thought it best to move her elsewhere. Please keep a good eye on your loved one if they are living in this place (hopefully they won't do anything typical of an elderly person that will upset Connie).

This place used to be great! But with turnover of staff and the loss of their amazing memory care…read moreactivities director, Mune, over 18 months ago it has left their Traditions (memory care) residents without engaging activities. This position was left either unfilled or not filled with the correct type of staff. My mom has lost her want and staff does little to help reengage and affectively know how to coax her out of her room where she's left to talk to herself because it's easier. I'm so saddened. I know dementia is a progressive disease however she's still able to get around and hold conversation and joke. I see little effort to help reengage my mom when I'm unfortunately not able to be there as much as I wish to help reengage her. For the price of care, I'd expect more. My mom did get that the first couple years she was there. However this memory care is definitely not what it use to be or what you'd expect from a high end senior living facility.

COURTYARDS AT PINE CREEK ENTRUST OF CONCORD…read more WHAT IS THE NAME NOW?!?!?! They change the name every time they receive numerous violations. They are constantly reported and all they do is change their name and reopen. How is that possible?! DO NO TAKE YOUR LOVED ONE THERE. The memory care staff are LAZY and let the residents walk around in their waste. The staff/resident ratio is in violation. They occasionally lock the residents (some bed ridden) in their rooms. It is so sad and frustrating. When they get reported all of sudden there are numerous staff on duty and all of the residents get lots of attention and become "sweetie and honey". Visit at different times of the day and you will see the difference/truth. During the afternoon and evening the staff disappear or are either sitting around the TV watching some reality show. DISGRACEFUL!! Do not, I repeat DO NOT GO THERE!!

My father had been declining in health for years, eventually diagnosed with PSP (progressive…read moresupranuclear palsy) and his care needs kept escalating; over the last 2 years we moved him 3+ times (from his home to independent living, to assisted care, to a SNF, and lastly to memory care of contra costa: MCCC under hospice orders). MCCC was a godsend for us. A smaller facility dedicated to memory care meant that every caregiver and staff member was trained and knew how to provide for seniors with higher needs. My father in particular needed specific diet instructions, non-verbal communication, and direct assistance with all daily tasks. We didn't have to deal with a wait-list (maybe we were lucky, there was a unit readily available), the pricing is very straightforward, and all the staff quickly became some of his favorite people. They also coordinated seamlessly with Suncrest hospice of walnut creek, which made regular updates and communication very easy. My father moved into MCCC in January and passed away in April. And I truly believe the high quality and genuine care he received there was part of how we were able to send him off in the best possible way: surrounded by family, listening to the music he loved, hearing the words "i love you," and feeling a warm embrace as he took his last breaths. Senior care is a complex and increasingly expensive proposition in the US, MCCC made the price feel well worth it and we never questioned whether we made the right decision moving him here. There really are some of the most empathetic, altruistic, and caring people working there - I hope they know that and can be reminded that the direct care they provide honors the dignity of their residents and brings immense peace of mind to the families and friends who love them.

It's time, 1 month ago today, April 18, 2025, we said goodbye to my dad, Merwyn. He has resided at…read morethe Memory Care of Contra Costa since October 2022. My dad suffered from dementia nd advanced Alzheimer's disease. After a very bad fall in 2022, we knew our mom could no longer provide the care he needed, so he moved into the memory care directly from the hospital. From day one, this facility provided the structure and stimulation that my dad needed. He was happy most of the time, and as he suffered from Sundowning, or increased anxiety at sundown, the caring staff knew how to support him. My mom came to visit with him 2 days before he passed. I need to shout out to Emilly, the activities assistant, who compassionately listened to my mom, giving her much-needed support during this difficult time. Thank You! The whole time my dad was a resident, we never encountered a staff member suffering from burnout, instead,5 everyone showed up as loving the work they do, very rare in this challenging care. This reflects well on the good management practices in place. We are so grateful we found this care facility for my dad.
