Carefield Pleasanton Memory Care sits in a quiet residential area of Pleasanton, California, at 4115 Mohr Avenue, offering specialized help for seniors who are living with memory loss, Alzheimer's, and other types of dementia. The building's single story makes getting around easier for people who have trouble with stairs or mobility. The community offers both assisted living and memory care within its 82 licensed beds, focusing mainly on those needing memory support. Fully trained staff stay on-site day and night to help with daily needs like dressing, moving around, or just being present for comfort, and they'll help with things like physical therapy, hospice care, nurse calls, and even bringing in a dentist if one's needed.
They've created a safe and supportive environment with a secured, specially designed neighborhood just for folks who need memory care, and there are tranquil outdoor areas and shaded patios where residents can enjoy fresh air. The Lightfinder™ Memory Care program helps staff tailor activities and care, really getting to know each person's background, interests, and likes, so creative activities, music, art therapy, and games are chosen to engage each resident in a way that fits their own history. The focus on creative pursuits lets residents express themselves, revisit old hobbies, and maybe find new ones, and access to outdoor spaces, high-speed internet, a courtyard, and a comfortable dining and common area makes the space feel more like home.
Residents can choose from studio apartments and enjoy a community where they can have pets, access wheelchair-friendly showers, and move about freely in smoke-free indoor spaces. Meals are chef-prepared, served in a dining room where staff help out as needed, and they'll make sure special dietary needs are met with alternate meals and snacks. Organized outings, music programs, and intergenerational activities add variety, while friends and relatives are welcome to visit, share meals, and spend time together. Transportation is available for things like doctor visits, which helps keep life simpler.
The community accepts both male and female residents, with staff focusing on dignity, independence, and a person-centered approach. While they are a licensed Residential Care Elderly facility, they don't accept Medicare and aren't certified by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services. The cost for memory care starts at about $5,400 monthly, which is higher than the average for this area. Carefield Pleasanton Memory Care strives to bring peace of mind to families looking for a safe setting for loved ones with Alzheimer's or other memory impairments, by providing a supportive space where both residents and their loved ones feel welcome and understood.
