Waters Edge Lodge sits along the Harbor Bay Lagoon in Alameda, California, giving residents relaxing water views, walking trails, and fresh air, and the setting itself is quiet, with two outdoor courtyards and a sweeping patio by the lagoon, and the area has nearby cafes, shops, and stores at Harbor Bay Landing. This facility operates with a state license (#011440777) and features one hundred private, pet-friendly apartments, so people can bring their pets or enjoy pet therapy if that helps, and has trained care staff and licensed nurses on site every day with help always available, whether someone needs daily living help like bathing, dressing, and taking medication, or just some light support now and then. Each apartment gets weekly housekeeping, linen changes, laundry service, and meals prepared by staff, and the personal apartments have options like private balconies or courtyard patios, while meals come in the dining room or the lounge, along with snacks and Peet's coffee in the café throughout the day.
Waters Edge Lodge supports both independent and assisted living, with help ramping up as a resident's needs grow, and also provides respite stays for short-term recovery with private rooms, regular nursing oversight, three daily meals, and full access to all the activities, which might include art classes, music appreciation, card clubs, meditation, lectures on history or science, current events discussions, happy hours, and live music. The community partners with AES Therapy & Fitness, so residents can get Medicare-approved rehab and fitness like physical, occupational, or speech therapy, as well as personal training, exercise classes, pain clinics, walker and cane clinics, and wellness seminars-the professional team also runs a Re-fit Program for anyone needing extra help after surgery or illness. There's a registered dietitian who handles nutrition needs and diabetic management, licensed nurses perform blood sugar checks and insulin injections when needed, and medication management or care planning can be personalized to suit changing health needs. People living here enjoy access to an in-house salon, group transportation, community laundry, and large recreational spaces.
The community encourages being social and active, with structured daily activities for body and mind, so everyone's welcome to join something new, learn, or just watch what's going on, and the staff here, including a Director of Community Data who keeps an eye on quality, stays friendly and ready to help whenever needed. The monthly estimated cost is $2,695 before discounts; the team helps figure out payment plans or options that fit each person's situation. All told, Waters Edge Lodge provides a simple, warm, and comfortable place to live on the water, with plenty of support and freedom, making it easier for seniors to enjoy each day however they like.
