Belmont Village Albany: This Isn't Your Grandparents' Senior Care

Belmont Village Albany is a unique assisted living community created in collaboration with the University of California, Berkeley, and conceived out of years of research into senior living. The result is an intellectually rich, emotionally vibrant place that looks nothing like your grandparents' senior community. Residents here get involved in interactive projects with University Village, shuttle to classes on campus every day, and attend on-site educational events led by Berkeley's world-class professors. They participate in the cutting-edge Whole Brain Fitness Lifestyle, which engages seven research-backed elements of health, including social connection, a sense of purpose, and mental fitness. 

It's not all cerebral here, either. Residents work out in the well-equipped fitness center, get their hair done at the in-community salon, and gather for restaurant-style meals at Josephine's Kitchen, the elegantly appointed dining room. They relax by the fireplace, have coffee with friends in the courtyard, and grab sweet snacks at the bistro. They also get chances to get out and explore the area, with trips to places like Tilden Regional Park, the Lawrence Hall of Science, and the Aftel Archive of Curious Scents.

Belmont Village Albany: Innovative Assisted Living and Memory Care

Belmont Village Albany's assisted living, and memory care programs are backed by science and exist on the bleeding edge of senior care research. Assisted living residents to receive laser-focused, customized assistance with daily personal care tasks like bathing, grooming, dressing, and mobility — anything they need to live autonomously. There's also a separate memory care neighborhood for seniors with Alzheimer's and other forms of dementia. Residents in this program benefit from secured outdoor areas, dementia care-trained staff members, and an adaptable, person-centered enrichment approach for each senior. 

For residents who are somewhere in between — with some memory loss but not dementia — there's the multi-award-winning Circle of Friends. In this dynamic program, daily exercises flex six domains of mental fitness, "just right challenges" provide the perfect level of mental stimulation for growth, and purpose-designed therapeutic activities build fulfillment. 

With all of these inventive programs, it's no wonder Belmont Village Albany was awarded the George Mason University Health Care Quality Improvement Award and the Argentum 2016 Best of the Best in Memory Care. But, even more impressive is the fact that this community's efforts have translated in one very tangible way — over 50 residents here are over 100 years old. 

There are 30 hospitals within 25 miles of Belmont Village Albany. The two closest hospitals are Alta Bates Summit Medical Center - Alta Bates Camp which is 2.9 miles away and Children'S Hospital & Research Center Oakland which is 3.6 miles away.
