Belmont Village San Ramon sits at 1000 Walnut Drive, right in Bishop Ranch, and lets folks pick from studio, one-bedroom, or two-bedroom apartments, all with nice finishes, roomy walk-in bathrooms, big closets, small kitchens you can change up a bit, and patios or balconies in many units. The place has 177 units in all and provides independent living, assisted living, nursing care, and memory care options, including a secure memory care floor and two levels of support for people with Alzheimer's or dementia needs, so couples with different care needs can still stay together. Trained caregivers and a full-time licensed nurse are always on site, and staff can help with daily tasks, medication, meals, laundry, and personal care, adjusting the level of help as folks' needs change. People can find support services like housekeeping, laundry, concierge, and transportation, and the community bus and private car help with errands and group outings.
Residents get Wi-Fi, valet parking, and pet-friendly policies, with a small dog park for their pets to play in and outdoor areas that are nice for sitting even when it's chilly since there are terraces, couches, and fire pits on different levels, plus a farm-to-table garden to stroll through. For staying active, there's a gym, fitness classes, a yoga lawn, a heated outdoor pool kept around 82°, and game rooms with poker, shuffleboard, billiards, as well as a putting green and bocce court. People gather in the sports lounge, the big common room, and a cozy library with a fireplace that's great during colder months, and the creative arts studio gets used by folks who like painting or crafts. The building looks and feels a bit like a luxury hotel, with a spacious lobby, mailroom, security desk, salon with weekly services, and places to meet for council meetings or workshops like in the town hall room.
Meals get a lot of attention, with two main dining spots-Josephine's Kitchen serves American favorites, salads, seafood, and omelets, plus a private dining room you can reserve for special occasions, and The Bistro offers Peet's Coffee, pastries, and sweet treats, along with a self-serve station and barista counter, plus residents can eat outdoors in nice weather or use the outdoor kitchen with a pizza oven and grill. Those who like a glass of wine can keep their own bottle in the personal storage, and awards have recognized the facility for its meal quality.
Belmont Village's activities calendar stays packed, with outings, lifelong learning groups like the nearby Osher Lifelong Learning Institute, fitness classes, art and music, and special events, and the Circle of Friends® program helps those with mild cognitive troubles join structured small group activities every day of the week. The community takes a Whole Brain Fitness approach, offering ways to build or keep mental, physical, and social health, so folks can age in place with peace of mind while enjoying the newer side of San Ramon, with easy access to walking and biking trails (including a pedestrian bridge over Iron Horse Trail), shops, dining, and the rest of Bishop Ranch's growing downtown. The place lets people tour in person or virtually before deciding, and it's designed for older adults who want top-notch care and the comfort of having everything close by, whether hoping for a busy social life or just some peace with a good book by the fire on a rainy day.
