Discovery Commons San Ramon

cane to visit and had a great experience staff were great and place was really well maintained

Superb! I come here from East Sacramento to visit my 94 y/o Grandma who has Dementia/ borderline Alzheimer's, but my family and I have a great time seeing each other & visiting her. Cannot complain, also right next to a hospital.

Love this place! Such a loving environment. Thank you!!

My brother and I toured Discovery Commons while searching for a new home for our mom after all the residents received the Notice of Termination of Tenancy from her previous assisted living community, where she had lived for nearly four years. Josephine Dugoni was marvelous in showing us the property. Discovery Commons is absolutely beautiful—immaculately maintained and in like-new condition—and we were impressed from the moment we arrived. After the tour, my brother and I agreed we didn’t need to look anywhere else. Josephine and Kiel went above and beyond to help with our mom’s expedited move-in, making what could have been a stressful transition remarkably smooth. Our mom has only been there a few days, but she is already enjoying the incredible activities and seems genuinely happy. Josephine has done a fantastic job helping her settle in and feel at home. It has been so comforting to see my mom smiling and thriving so quickly after the move. She struggled to adjust at previous communities, but this time has been completely different. The ease of this transition has been such a relief for our family. We feel incredibly fortunate to have found Discovery Commons and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a warm, welcoming assisted living community.

I cannot say enough about Discovery Commons and its caring and supportive staff! Being a firefighter for over 30 years, I have had the opportunity to respond to calls at various senior care facilities in the Bay Area. Discovery Commons is by far the best assisted and memory care facility I have ever visited. When my father was initially diagnosed with dementia our family had numerous concerns about the support we could expect him to receive from a memory care facility. After touring numerous facilities in Alameda and Contra Costa counties, we found Discovery Commons! The first person I was introduced to was Karyn, the sales director. She offered our family multiple tours often answering the same questions over and over with compassion and professionalism. Kiel, the executive director, continues to check in asking about my father and how he is adjusting. Both met with our family while simultaneously organizing the facility Christmas party! What is most impressive is the staff retention. This is so crucial to those individuals with memory issues. All of the staff have been incredibly attentive including but not limited to Shelby in maintenance, Lauren and Alexis in the dining room, as well as Mark, Andrew, Celeste, Maryann, and others who consistently check on my father, encourage him to participate in activities and help him to maintain his dignity. When he arrived, he was in a wheelchair. Now he struts up and down the hallways, sometimes without even using his cane. The activities that Josephine, the activity coordinator organizes like bingo, blackjack, daily walks, discussions, bus trips, Tai Chi, and musical events have all helped keep my father alert and engaged. The food is definitely above par with many meal selections available throughout the day. My mother and other family members make it a point to reserve space in the dining room to have a meal with my dad. It also helps that Lauren and Alexis are working hard to connect with the residents during a meal, often remembering their preferences and always calling them by name. We are very fortunate to have found Discovery Commons and are forever grateful to the directors and the staff. Thank you, Kevin S. and family
