Wittenberg Manor II sits at 713 Bartlett Ave in Hayward, California, and gives seniors a place to live where folks can pick from independent living, assisted living, and memory care all within the same campus, and the building has 64 one-bedroom apartments where apartments come with carpet, drapes, an electric stove, and a fridge, and there are 7 units specially set up for wheelchairs with lower shelves, wider bathrooms, and access for people who need it, so elders and those with mobility issues can feel comfortable. The community has a no smoking policy, allows pets with a deposit, has coin-operated laundry on-site, and includes a beauty salon, a library, a computer lab, community rooms, and a landscaped courtyard with a gazebo. There's a shuttle bus for shopping or special events, and limited parking slots if you have a car with proper registration and insurance, and residents can take part in a food program that offers five evening meals each week if interested, which is optional and makes life easier for some.
The staff at Wittenberg Manor II make it a point to help residents stay active with regular exercise classes, potlucks, coffee hours, Bingo, and all sorts of events that help people make friends, not to mention a schedule of social and educational activities, and there's a service coordinator on-site to help with day-to-day things any resident might need. For those needing extra attention, there's specialized memory care and home care aides who help folks with dementia or Alzheimer's, making sure the area is safe with routines aimed at reducing confusion and preventing wandering, all tied to the focus on supporting residents' independence and well-being. The facility pays for heat, garbage, and water in the rent, and monthly extermination keeps apartments clean, and there's a credit check but no fee for that and every resident's monthly income must fall below 30% of the area median income.
Wittenberg Manor II has closed its waitlist and doesn't take cosigners or eviction cases, and rental or deposit assistance programs aren't accepted either, and deposits are set at a specific dollar amount, though no details beyond "$1X" are listed. The place is age-restricted for those 62 and over, honors a no smoking rule everywhere, and keeps the community feeling friendly with kind staff, a range of physical, mental, and emotional activities, and group meals that encourage everyone to get involved, and many residents say the atmosphere feels warm, not fancy but like a safe spot for older adults to live comfortably, with support when it's needed and privacy when it isn't. The property is managed by Barcelon Associates Management Corporation, a company with a reputation for long-term relationships and several awards in senior care, and the focus remains on helping people stay connected, safe, and at ease during their later years.
