    Review

    Piedmont Gardens CCRC is a senior living community located in the heart of the city. Unlike other communities, it does not have locked gates, allowing residents to come and go freely with the use of a machine that can sometimes make it difficult for visitors to enter. The community is designed like apartments, giving a sense of independence to its residents. However, the assisted living section is located on its own floor, providing protection and care for those who need it.

    The overall atmosphere of Piedmont Gardens is clean and well-organized. The staff offers great tours and is knowledgeable about the facilities and services available. The dining area is adequate and the rooms are decent. While there aren't many people congregating together in common areas, the library, beauty salon, and gym provide additional amenities for residents to enjoy.

    One recurring theme among reviewers is that Piedmont Gardens is quite expensive and may not be affordable for everyone. However, the staff takes the time to explain everything thoroughly during tours and make prospective residents feel welcome. The grounds are beautiful with various flowers and gardens throughout, creating a pleasant ambiance.

    Many residents at Piedmont Gardens are retired university professors or individuals who were active in their communities prior to moving in. The community prides itself on intellectual stimulation with lectures, a library, periodicals available, access to music, and trips to the theater. There are different room options available but they can be pricey.

    Despite some drawbacks related to cost or parking issues due to its location on Piedmont Avenue in Oakland, many individuals end up choosing Piedmont Gardens for its convenience and active community life. Residents have access to a variety of activities such as music events, discussion groups, farmer's markets, etc., which are supplemented by funds contributed by the residents themselves.

    Reviews mention that while some aspects of Piedmont Gardens may be average or lacking personality compared to other facilities visited, overall it still offers satisfactory living conditions. Staff members are described as courteous, respectful, and efficient, providing assistance in various areas such as dining services, nursing care, and transportation.

    There are a few negative reviews that raise concerns about the quality of care provided at Piedmont Gardens. One reviewer had a particularly difficult experience with their mother's care following a stroke. They point out issues with staff responsiveness and communication that ultimately led to their mother's decline in health and eventual passing.

    In conclusion, Piedmont Gardens CCRC offers an independent living community for seniors in the heart of the city. The facilities are well-maintained and provide necessary amenities for residents. While cost can be a factor for some individuals, the community is praised for its active lifestyle and access to nearby shops and restaurants on Piedmont Avenue. However, it's important to consider both positive and negative reviews when making a decision about senior living options.
