Recent reviews for independent living in Acalanes Ridge
Sycamore Hills By the Bay in Hercules, CA
5.0
The only improvement that I can think of that needs to be made at Sycamore Hills By the Bay is there is not enough parking. That is my only complaint about this facility. Everyone is very nice, the facility is really clean. I am really happy with my experience here so far.
Carlton Senior Living Concord
5.0
The facility is very nice, close to stores, shops, parks & movie theatre. Lots of good restaurants near by.
However, food is provided here, sometimes people like to go out to a restaurant. They have a lot of activities to do, a nice variety.
The Watermark at Rosewood Gardens in Livermore, CA
5.0
We chose The Watermark at Rosewood Gardens because it was very close to me--less than a mile and we knew 3 others who had or do have a family member there. the front room of the apartment is spacious in comparison to some.
