The Parkview sits at 100 Valley Avenue in Pleasanton, near Centennial Park, and you'll notice a bright and cheerful atmosphere with landscaped courtyards and outdoor recreation spaces where folks can walk or sit. This city-owned community offers several living options, including independent living for healthy retirees looking for maintenance-free apartments and a social calendar, assisted living for those who need some help with daily activities, and memory care for adults living with Alzheimer's or dementia, with a secured courtyard and special care plans for each person. There's also respite care for those needing short stays, which gives caregivers a rest or helps after surgery or illness.
You'll see a large range of apartment options, including studios, one-bedrooms, and two-bedrooms, and most come with in-suite climate controls, a kitchenette, emergency call system, plenty of storage space, Wi-Fi, and cable. Some apartments have outdoor patios or balconies, and all utilities are included except for telephone. The community has 123 licensed beds and is a licensed Residential Care Elderly facility.
Housekeeping, linen, laundry, and meal services are standard here, with a dining room where residents can enjoy meals together. There's a library, a video theater, a billiards lounge, card and game rooms, a computer room, and spaces for various hobbies and social gatherings. Residents have access to a full-time activity director, so there's always a structured program of social, educational, and entertaining activities, plus excursions to local museums, theaters, restaurants, and nearby shops. The Activity Committee creates a monthly calendar that includes continuing education classes, outings, entertainment, and game nights.
A fully-trained staff is always available to help residents and offer 24-hour personal care, plus transportation to medical appointments and scheduled trips to nearby places. Services include a Wellness Center, fitness and wellness programs, and on-site postal facilities. The beauty salon and manicurist services, along with a multi-purpose room and gardens, provide spaces for residents to relax or gather with friends and family.
The memory care area offers extra security and has shared kitchen and lounge spaces, dining areas, an entry porch with seating, and a quiet room. Residents and their families find peace of mind because of the mix of independent and assisted living, memory care, and rehabilitation services, along with the home-like feel and supportive staff, even though the community did have some staff turnover in the past but now meets state-recommended staffing levels. The Parkview doesn't accept Medicare for care services but handles long-term care and offers help for both those living on campus and through home care for seniors nearby who need companionship or non-medical support. There's parking for residents and guests, pet-friendly policies, and most amenities and services make the transition to senior living easier for everyone.
