Brookdale San Ramon

Brookdale San Ramon sits between Pleasanton and Walnut Creek, offering views of rolling hills, trees, and local wildlife, and it's in the greater San Francisco and Oakland area, so folks get both city conveniences and nature. The community provides different types of care, including independent living for older adults who want a vibrant social place, assisted living for those needing daily help like bathing, dressing, or medication, and memory care for residents with Alzheimer's or dementia, all the way up to skilled nursing and at-home care if someone requires more medical attention or support. They use the Clare Bridge program, which means they look for daily ways to help folks with memory challenges feel happy and purposeful, and the Clare Bridge Dining Program offers dementia-friendly menus, small dining rooms that make it easier to connect, and extra help at mealtimes so everyone can take part. Staff receives ongoing training in dementia care using special programs, and the design of common spaces uses special wall and floor colors so residents can find their way safely.

There are private assisted living suites, each with a bedroom, a small dining area, and cozy recliners, and you can also find kitchenettes with light wood cabinets, stoves, sinks, and refrigerators for easy meal preparation; there's a main dining room with warm lighting, fresh flowers, and neatly set tables, plus a community living room with a fireplace and shelves full of books. Residents can enjoy an outdoor landscaped courtyard with patio spaces, gardens, walking paths, and comfortable seating. There's also a fitness program called B-Fit, a library and game room, an activities room with a piano and photo wall, shared common rooms for socializing, a screening room for movie nights, and a secure emergency alert system throughout the building. The entrance and lobby are open, two-story spaces with friendly seating and natural light, giving things a welcoming air.

People with dementia can safely help with gardening or kitchen work to support purposeful living, and there are features like familiar furniture, small dining areas, and easy-to-navigate hallways to help with safety and comfort. There's Wi-Fi, transportation and parking, staff on site around the clock, and care plans tailored to each person's needs. The community allows pets and aims to foster a sense of belonging, focusing on both independence and well-being. Brookdale San Ramon offers a range of continuing care options so folks can stay in one place as their needs change over time.
