  The Staff here are amazing ! Inumia went above & beyond to help me get an adorable apt and working with her through the process was delightful. Glenda, Lisa & Leah I would have to say the same about each of them too. Honestly, everyone I have encountered during my first week here has been so kind and helpful and they are always happy to see you with a genuine smile on their face. So far, each of the residents I have met are all very happy as well. It’s wonderful to have friendly interactions with new neighbors in the hallways and common areas. One thing that was really important to me was the quality of the soundproofing between the apartment walls. I’m really pleased to say this is one of the quietest apts I’ve ever lived in. 😊

  I love it here! I moved in about 10 days ago, in an independent living 1 bedroom apartment with my two cats. It's a lovely place. Every employee is kind, compassionate, and helpful. Glenda, the Executive Director, is really on the ball and very friendly. She gets things done! And that's true of all the staff. I'm so glad I found this place.

  My mother has lived at San Leandro Senior Living for 3 years and is happy and thriving. She has received excellent care and support over the years. My mother loves her private room and the community dining room, and the shopping trip excursions. She also enjoys the way the holidays are celebrated throughout the year with beautiful decorations, a special themed meal, and often live music with dancing. I visit my mother several times a week and see first-hand how the management and staff at San Leandro Senior Living are consistently warm and professional. I was recently impressed with the responsiveness of the Executive Director (Glenda) and Business Office Manager (Lisa) when an unexpected issue occurred. They listened attentively and went above and beyond to find a resolution. I am deeply grateful to San Leandro Senior Living for their exceptional efforts to provide my mother with a home where she gets the best care possible.

  My family is delighted that my uncle has decided to reside at San Leandro Senior Living. However, we would like to express our gratitude for the exceptional first impression we received during our tour. The atmosphere was welcoming and conducive to a positive experience. Inumia, your lunch tour and comprehensive tour were instrumental in shaping our decision to move forward. Your ability to create a warm and inviting community atmosphere was truly commendable. We extend our sincere appreciation to your dedicated team for their exceptional hospitality and support throughout our visits. Your efforts have made our uncle’s transition to San Leandro Senior Living a seamless and enjoyable experience. The cleanliness and friendliness of the staff are additional bonuses that contribute to the overall positive environment. Thank you again!

  I had a wonderful experience touring San Leandro Living Community. The environment felt incredibly friendly, clean and welcoming from the moment I walked in. The staff were professional, highly knowledgeable, and very personable. What I appreciate it most was that they were incredibly thorough setting the right expectations and provided tons of great information without making me feel pressured to sign up right away. The units themselves are nice and a decent size. I definitely plan on revising in the future when I’m fully ready and would love to check out a third floor unit when one becomes available. Highly recommend taking a tour!

  Moving my parents into assisted living was a big step, but the team at San Leandro Senior Living made the transition remarkably smooth. Today, they’re happy there. We chose this community for its clean, contemporary private suites—each with its own bathroom and wet bar—at a price well below comparable Bay Area options. Just as important, the staff consistently tailors care to my mother’s special needs. When issues arise, General Manager Glenda and Business Office Manager Lisa work with me to address them quickly and thoughtfully. Resident Services Director Olive keeps a close eye on emergency response procedures and medication management, and the staff calls me right away whenever something needs my attention. Dining is another highlight. Chefs Abel, Judee, and Anna gladly adapt menus to provide Asian-influenced dishes while meeting my mother’s dietary requirements. Activities Director Linda keeps my father engaged with field trips and even solves his tech glitches, while designing lively programs for all residents. Caregivers Nancy and Roselyn know my mother’s routines by heart, ensuring she rests comfortably and maintains her preferred hygiene schedule. And the residents themselves are wonderfully warm—greeting my parents at every meal, holding my mother’s hand, and showering her with affection. San Leandro Senior Living has become an extension of our family, and I’m grateful to have them on this journey with us.

  Grateful

  The facility is very clean. The studio my Dad had was beautiful. I especially loved the senior walk in shower. The staff was very nice. My Dad has problems with hearing. So once a week I or my sister would ask the staff to bring my Dad a note with the times para transit was coming to pick him up for church. I forgot the lady's name at the front desk but I will never forgot how kind and patient she was with us. I am most grateful for the support I received when searching for a place for my Dad. This was a very difficult and scary time for my family. You guys collected the budget we had and my Dad's medical challenges and you sent me referrals to places that were in our budget. When my siblings and I were overwhelmed with the search and taking care of other family and our jobs, you guys stayed supportive and helpful. Sometimes we didn't respond to your checking in on us because life was hectic but you didn't give up on us. We would never had been able to find the nice place you found for my Dad in such a short period of time. A place for Mom held our families hand through this process and did all of the leg work for FREE. you were our extended family because you really care.

  Exceptional experience with San Leandro Senior Living!

  My mom has been at this facility for almost 2 years. She is verry quiet and not very social, but the staff have made great efforts to include her in activities and have her socialize which has been good for her mental health. She has had too many unwitnessed falls and the staff have gone to great lengths to figure out how to avoid them. The staff are always friendly and welcoming and the other residents seem genuinely happy to be at the facility. Any requests I have made were taken care of in a timely manner. The food and variety of meals has always been good. All holidays are always exceptionally celebrated; from decorations to the food. They stay on top of all her medications. If there is any issue at all with my mom, they always call to inform me. The facility is clean and always cheerful from the wonderful decorations that are throughout the entire place. My mom loves when they bring extra entertainment like musicians and singers. It took a little time for my mom to finally adjust

  Thriving at San Leandro Senior Living

  I’m very happy that my children found San Leandro Senior Living. After my husband passed in[Date Removed], I was living alone in San Francisco, and none of my children lived in the City. When I was hospitalized in [Date Removed], it was apparent that I could no longer live and care for my self. My children searched the Bay Area for suitable and affordable housing for me. My sons found SLS and were instantly impressed by the overall cleanliness of the facility as well as the friendliness of the entire staff. Today, I am enjoying my community and everything it has to offer. Although I am an assisted living client, I am not yet in need of the care that SLS offers for those who need assistance with daily basic activities, I am confident that when the time comes, and I have need for that special care, SLS will be there for me.

  Great atmosphere

  We are deeply grateful to San Leandro Senior Living for the exceptional care and support they provided to our 95-year-old mother during her recovery from a serious femur fracture. From the executive director and management team to the caregivers, dining staff, housekeeping, and everyone we encountered, the compassion, professionalism, and attentiveness were consistently outstanding. The staff treated her with dignity, patience, and genuine warmth while encouraging her independence as she regained strength and confidence. The facility itself was clean, comfortable, and welcoming. Thanks in large part to their quality care and supportive environment, she was ultimately able to return home and resume independent living. Our entire family sincerely appreciates all they did for her.

  Our experience

  They are heavily using scented oils that are on outlets in the downstairs to cover up smells. Quality of care honestly I don't know. it looks well taken care of and the units were very clean- the food is something that I really don't know about. Never tried the meals and dining service. We went during the holidays so they had plenty of activities. The value for the money was there and the admin staff were lovely. All the residents were great just seemed in more need of care than my mom needed. It's still a great option just not for my mom who can be on her own but her medical records show that she needs full assisted living. It's walking distance to a grocery store and a pharmacy however that's it. Their shuttle bus is only 1x per week to only 2 other grocery stores. So it's a little limiting however for the Bay Area it was a solid option
