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 pl

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.

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.
