The Best Senior Living Facility in Hayward, Landmark Villa
I have lived at Landmark Villa for seven months, and it is the best home I have had in years. I would give my overall experience a 5 out of 5. After living in three different senior living communities over the past few years, I can honestly say this is the best one. From the moment I moved in, everyone has made me feel welcome. The residents are friendly, and we truly consider ourselves a family. That feeling extends to the management and staff as well. Everyone works together to make Landmark Villa a wonderful place to live. The cleanliness of the community is outstanding. I would give it another 5 out of 5 because the staff works very hard every day to keep the building clean and comfortable. The quality of care is exceptional. Every resident has an individualized care plan that is regularly reviewed and adjusted to meet their needs. The caregivers work hard every day to carry out those plans with kindness and professionalism. They never complain, and in the seven months I have lived here, I have never met a staff member who was rude or crabby. The med techs deserve special recognition as well. They administer everyone's medications carefully and accurately, giving residents confidence that they are receiving the right care. Our maintenance team, [ Names Removed] , also does an outstanding job. They have helped me whenever I needed assistance, and I am grateful for everything they do. One thing that means a great deal to me is that every staff member, no matter what their job is, treats me like a person rather than just another resident. Whether they work directly with residents every day or behind the scenes, they know my name, stop to say hello, laugh with me, talk with me, and are always willing to help. That personal connection makes all the difference. The administration team is excellent. They are approachable, caring, and genuinely interested in making sure we have the best experience possible. They know residents by name and greet us personally. The front desk staff— [ Names Removed] —are terrific. I call them the "Jack of all trades" because they help with so many different things. No matter what we need, they are always willing to assist us with a smile while still handling all of their daily responsibilities. Our Executive Director, [ Name Removed] is personable, caring, and genuine. She knows each resident by name, and whenever I have needed her, she has always been available to help. Her leadership is one of the reasons Landmark Villa runs so efficiently and smoothly. The dining experience is another highlight. [ Name Removed] , our chef and kitchen manager, is friendly, caring, and passionate about serving delicious, healthy meals. The food is made from scratch, and you can taste the difference. Every Saturday, residents receive menus for the upcoming week, and once a month Herbert holds a food meeting where we can share suggestions and requests. He truly listens to our feedback and does his best to incorporate our ideas. The dining room servers are fantastic. [ Names Removed] provide wonderful service and make each meal enjoyable. They know our preferences, remember the drinks we like, and give each resident personal attention while serving meals efficiently. There are many other dedicated servers as well who deserve recognition for their hard work. Even the cooks make an effort to greet residents. [ Names Removed] prepare wonderful meals and often stop by the dining room to say hello. Their friendliness and pride in their work are appreciated. Activities are another reason I enjoy living here. We are fortunate to have something fun to do every day. [ Name Removed] our Activity Director, is truly a ray of sunshine. She has endless energy and, most importantly, understands seniors and our abilities. She creates activities that are enjoyable, engaging, and appropriate for everyone. Some of our favorites include prize bingo, group Uno, and group Boggle. We even had a memorable one-day carnival. Each month, she holds an activity meeting where residents can suggest new ideas, and she genuinely listens to our feedback. Every Friday we enjoy Happy Hour, complete with live music, refreshments, lemonade, and great company. Even without alcohol, it is a wonderful way for everyone to relax, socialize, and have fun together. Landmark Villa also provides excellent value. My one-bedroom apartment has a balcony, a locking door with a peephole, and a small kitchen. Laundry and housekeeping are included, and residents who need additional services receive them according to their care plans. While my apartment does not have air conditioning, the hallways and dining room are air-conditioned and remain comfortable. I am very happy here at Landmark Villa. This is more than just a senior living community—it is my home. I feel comfortable, respected, and genuinely cared for every day. The staff, management, and residents have created a place where people truly look out for one another. If you are looking for a senior living community where you will be treated like family, I highly recommend Landmark Villa. Come join us and become part of our family—we would love to have you.

Think Twice About Moving Here
The community has gone through lots of changes in the past few months. Residents left Bethesda and moved to other facilities. In the middle of December, all the staff was let go. That is med techs and caregivers. Only a couple of board members stayed behind to cook the meals for the few Residents left. Bethesda was sore, they had trouble buying toilet paper to stock the bathrooms. On Thanksgiving the Residents were given 1 announcement about what was happening to Bethesda. Then through the end of December, the Residents were given no information about the wind down of the future of Bethesda.

A warm and homey place for mom
Bethesda Christian Homes stands out for its committed staff and supportive community. While the buildings show some wear, they remain inviting. Residences feel homelike, but the shared dining area could be improved for a warmer atmosphere. Most importantly, the people make Bethesda truly feel like home for my mom.

Mom's new home
The Administrator of Bethesda Christian Retirement Center is wonderful! The nurses have been very patient and understanding with my mother, who is not adjusting well to her new home. I, myself am going through my own adjustment with being a little more relieved that she is in a good place where she will be safe and if she needs medical help, it is right there.

Tips for evaluating your community options

Safety is a primary concern when seniors and their families look for Assisted Living. To ensure that a community meets your needs and expectations, we recommend that seniors and family members:

  • Tour the location: Touring allows you to speak to current residents and staff, and helps you confirm the accuracy of the community description and photos. Use our touring checklist to help guide your visit.

  • Confirm the availability of required services: Before you commit, make sure that the community offers all the services your senior needs, and that those services can be provided within your budget.

  • Know the California regulations for Assisted Living: Each state has its own laws and inspections processes to ensure seniors reside in a safe environment. Depending on your state, you may even be able to look up inspection reports for the community(ies) you’re considering. Learn more about California regulations for Assisted Living.

A Place for Mom has scored Bethesda Christian Retirement Center 6.5 out of 10 using our proprietary review score.   We assign review scores to give a more reliable view into senior living communities and home care agencies.
