The Point At Rockridge Senior Living sits in Oakland, California, on a mid-rise campus with a neighborhood feel and offers independent living, assisted living, memory care, and respite care. Residents can pick from different floor plans, including Studio, One Bedroom, Redwood, Lakeview, Sequoia, and Alameda layouts ranging from about 324 to 720 square feet, with apartments featuring kitchenettes, private bathrooms, some balconies, and step-up showers, which could make things tricky for people with mobility issues. People live here as part of a continuing care retirement community, with separate services for folks who want independence, need some help each day, or require memory care.
The community has plenty of amenities, like a sky lounge and bar with Golden Gate views, a movie theater, formal library with computers and printers, a gym, a salon and barber shop, private dining rooms, cozy common areas, a restaurant-style dining room, and a full courtyard with a dog path, fireplace, outdoor seating, barbecue, and dining spots amid lush landscaping. The place schedules regular activities and uses Vibrant Life® programs, so residents can stay busy with things they enjoy, and Elevate® Dining serves restaurant-style meals, including some award-winning choices.
Weekly housekeeping, linen service, home maintenance, and a concierge take care of chores and special requests, and transportation is available for outings and errands. For health and safety, every apartment has a 24/7 emergency call system and touchless temperature scanning, and trained staff are present around the clock. Staff help with daily activities like dressing or reminders for medication, and many folks mention the team is kind and compassionate.
Changes in management have brought higher rents and extra fees for some residents, and as of January 1 there's a separate care fee structure in place, though some say services haven't increased with the new costs. The community is fully licensed as a Residential Care Facility for the Elderly under License Number #019200873. People can enjoy outdoor patios, a community blog, a senior living library, and virtual tours. The Point At Rockridge Senior Living tries to make things warm, welcoming, and safe, offering a range of care and living options for those looking for senior accommodations in Oakland.
