    About Memory Care of Contra Costa

    Memory Care of Contra Costa sits in the Poet's Corner neighborhood of Pleasant Hill, close to the Walnut Creek border, and you'll notice it has a bright community courtyard that folks and families often call beautiful, plus friendly staff who create a warm, welcoming feeling throughout. The building has a single floor and offers both private and shared apartments, with some rooms featuring private or shared bathrooms. The community focuses on dementia and Alzheimer's care, with staff who get special, hands-on training in Teepa Snow's Positive Approach to Care®, so they really understand how to support residents with memory challenges, and you'll see that person-centered care runs through everything, from staff behavior management to detailed training in areas like safety, diversity, medication, and wound care.

    Everyone living here gets a personalized care plan, and there's help with daily needs such as bathing, dressing, getting ready, continence, and medication management in the monthly rate, plus assistance and reminders for health care appointments. In case someone falls, an AI-powered Fall Prevention Technology system called SafelyYou detects it right away and alerts staff, and with controlled access, security checks, guards, and monitored exits, you know the environment is kept safe and secure, particularly to reduce wandering or confusion. There's an exclusive partnership with Amazon Alexa to support resident needs using responsive technology, which some find especially helpful.

    Meals come in various ways-you might eat with others in the communal dining area or choose room service if you feel like staying in your apartment, and the dining program adapts to special dietary needs. Residents stay busy with signature activity programs like failure-free activities, brain fitness, chair fitness, yoga, arts and crafts, music, field trips, and even resident volunteer opportunities, so there's usually something to look forward to each day. Transportation's available to take you to outings, scenic drives, or appointments, making it easier to stay connected with the outside community.

    Health services cover a wide range such as diabetic care, digestive care, grooming, oral hygiene, and staff are well trained in everything from first aid to medical equipment use, and they undergo continuous abuse and neglect monitoring. The community's licensed by the state (075601363) and only accepts private pay or long-term care insurance, with an entry fee of $4,500 and shared memory care starting at $8,200. Amenities include indoor and outdoor gathering spaces, guest parking, and a pleasant, secure patio area where many residents and families spend time together. The focus here stays on dignity, imagination, sensory engagement, and personal choice, carried out by staff who work to maintain the individuality of each resident, providing comfort and familiar routines in a place designed for seniors with Alzheimer's and other types of memory loss.
