Spectacular Bay Area views
The community's Emeryville location offers panoramic views of the San Francisco Bay and city skyline from common areas and the rooftop terrace — a genuinely rare amenity in senior living.
Strong creative and social programming
Art studio, live entertainment, resident-led activities, and regular outings to nearby Emeryville and Berkeley. The programming leans toward keeping residents socially and creatively engaged.
Urban location with walkable surroundings
Emeryville puts residents close to shops, restaurants, and the Bay Trail — more accessible than suburban campuses for families visiting from San Francisco or Oakland.
Comprehensive amenity set
Full-service salon, theater room, fitness center, library with fireplace, rooftop terrace, and restaurant-style dining — all on-site.
Urban setting may not suit everyone
Emeryville is a dense, urban area near the freeway. Families looking for a quiet, garden-campus feel should visit first to gauge the neighborhood.
Large community scale
At 175 beds, this is a sizable operation. Residents who prefer a smaller, more intimate setting may find it impersonal.
