Marymount Villa

In our time of need, Marymount Villa provided us with a haven for my Dad which brought us peace of mind and comfort. The staff’s professionalism and support of my family helped us get through a very troubling time. There are no words that can adequately express our heartfelt gratitude for what Marymount Villa has done for us.
MaryMount Villa’s facilities are well cared for and it is a pleasant site for both the residents and their visitors. There are a variety of activities and the staff makes every effort to engage the memory care patients with compassion. The food is good, served at regular and efficient intervals. Additionally, our participation, as a family, was welcomed and encouraged. As we know my Dad well, my input was considered by staff members in order to give him the best care possible. The location of the site is safe and in a lovely part of San Leandro.
The administrative staff at, MaryMount Villa, are always friendly and professional. They helped us, in a seamless way, set up coordination with our health care insurance. The Wellness Center at MaryMount Villa developed a working relationship with my husband’s doctors so that his medical needs were supportive of his physical well being.
We feel very blessed to have had the opportunity to place my beloved in MaryMount Villa’s hands.

Marymount Villa is a retirement/​rehabilitation center for elderly people. The ambiance is beautiful, comfortable and spacious. The employees working here are accommodating, helpful and caring. Their demeanor is one of compassion and their positive attitude is truly uplifting.
They have a dining room for their residence people and their visitors. They also have activities for them. Outside of the villa is an area where the people can relax, sit and walk around the garden-​like setting.
My husband, daughter and I came to visit a relative (daughter’s big mama aka grandmother), who is staying here for the time being. She has a private room and is being well taken care of by the staff.

My mother is at Marymount Villa, and we are pleased with her care. My mother has a severe physical disability and mental confusion. The managers are compassionate and flexible and go out of their way to see that my mom’s complex needs are met. The caregivers are very patient with her as well.

My Dad had dementia and needed ²⁴⁄₇ care. I was lucky to find Marymount Villa. I had visited 4 or 5 locations before choosing Marymount for it’s homelike atmosphere, approachable staff and excellent meals. The Chief administrator, Dolly, was incredible. She made sure that my Dad got the appropriate care and supervision. She helped both Dad and my family to deal with changes we were not prepared for.
Marymount Villa’s care helped make a difficult emotional situation better.

We moved my step-​mother into the Villa when her health started to fail. She had cancer and needed the extra attention. She lived there for 1 ½ yrs before she passed away this June. She was given such good care not only by the caregivers, but by the management and in particular, the Chief Administrator, Dolly. They were always so attentive and informed us when there was any change in her condition. They also knew the family by name and acknowledged us whenever they saw us. My mother loved all the staff and didn’t have many complaints other then the food. She kept forgetting that all she needed to do was ask to have something else other then what they were serving and they would try to get it for her. One of the great things about Marymount was that they allowed hospice to come in to attend to her the last 3 months of her life. She lived in the independent section until she needed more care then moved to another floor where she still had her own room, but 24 hr. care on that floor. I can’t think of a better place that she could have lived during her last year. I would definitely recommend it to families looking for a senior care facility for their loved one. they also have a very good dementia unit.

This place is all right for a nice cheap retirement center for the retired independent/​dependent senior citizens. If you could find another place that can beat this in price go ahead, and go for the other, but if you feel like you can live with a nice place like this for a little more go ahead.
The best parts about this place is that
–You have some staff that really care for these residents as if they were your own personal family.
–It is located in a convenient location which is close to a Catholic Church/​school, the main Library, San Leandro Bart Station, out let stores, and restaurants if you would like to take your grandma/​grandpa/​dad/​mom out on a nice date to take them away from the «restaurant style» meals at Marymount Villa.
–People act like a family, or will great you with a smile (even though others may not).
–Residents don’t have problems with each other.
–It is a nice, and affordable retirement center.
–They have Volunteers from high schools that come to do activities with the residents which makes it nice and lively.
Parts that can need some improvement
–Please don’t call, or say you serve restaurant style even though you do, but you have one main course for everyone, but only one alternative that must be given before hand the meal is served. (As well make portions a little more bigger)
–Get some staff that will work instead of sit down, and let the busy working bee’s do their job.
–Try to keep arguments, or personal problems of work in a nice quite area, or take it outside were no one can here you talk about the problem you are trying to resolve.
The reason I give it a pretty low review is well my own base idea you can either agree, or nicely message me about what you think about this review. Don’t worry I will respond, and if you want to know why my rating is pretty low go, and ask.

This is a pretty good place for seniors looking for some light support services. It’s in a lovely area, next to Casa Peralta and a small local museum, and close to a local shopping plaza.
My father lived there for 9 months as we were spending down his assets. Like most places in the SF Bay Area, there ain’t much out there if you don’t have the money, but this place is pretty affordable for what they offer. There is 24 hour staffing, emergency pull cords in the rooms and bathrooms. We left as his dementia issues were increasing, the level of care needed was increasing (and thus the price increase), and he ran out of private funds. This is something that most will run into throughout the search for senior housing, so don’t be surprised.
This place is for the mostly independent senior, or someone that needs a caregiver (which will bring the price up of course); not really specifically designed for dementia issued folks, although they will work with you if there is only mild dementia issues. there is a parking lot gate that locks at nighttime and alarmed front entrance, so late night partying seniors might want to keep their independent housing still!
Meals (and this will be very important to most people) are served restaurant style, although there is generally only one meal option (with ability to request an alternate ahead of time). The menu is the typical american style cuisine, and the staff are friendly and accommodating.
I can’t think of anything else off hand, but feel free to pm me for more info!
