Prior to considering living here I performed once a month at happy hour entertaining the residents. Found it most pleasant. Upon the death of my husband I found it diffuclt to live alone for 4 years in a big house. So I decided to move to a senior residence. Checking all the others I selected Cardinal Point as it's location is very much in my interest. So I'm here now and happy I did so.

My husband and I learned about this facility through neighbors who were invited for lunch a few months prior. The sales doctor gave us an excellent tour of the facility. She was welcoming and very knowledgeable about all aspects of the community. Every question was answered thoroughly, and it was clear how much all staff cares about the residents. The tour made us feel comfortable and well-informed. A great experience overall. -M.P

I moved to Cardinal Point [after living at another independent living facility for 6.5 years]. I love living at Cardinal Point. My apartment is cute and efficient and I'm very cozy within. The food is delicious and the estuary outside gives the perfect Marina view from the dining room. The atmosphere is so warm and friendly. There are many activities and something is always happening to keep me occupied. I enjoy the excursions to museums and restaurants, etc. I wouldn't want to be anywhere else.

Cardinal Point is really great. After receiving rehab at another facility, this one is by far the best for my father long term. The location is exquisitely furnished, and the rooms and amenities are built so that residents may easily access everything. The building is only 3 stories with elevators and wide hallways. It’s always kept very tidy and clean. There are several dining alternatives, and the food is excellent. They have a ton of activities and excursions. The staff, who give each resident individual attention, form friendships with them, and genuinely care about what my dad needs make this senior living facility unique. He has less incidents, is content, and is kept tidy. We do have to let them know what he needs and how he needs it, but the Cardinal Point staff responds quickly, pays close attention, and follows through. My father is well and content. We attribute a good deal of this to the team and the amazing care he gets here.

It brings me great comfort to know that my mother had the opportunity to forge meaningful friendships during her time at Cardinal Point in Alameda, CA. The warm and welcoming atmosphere provided the perfect backdrop for her to connect with fellow residents. These friendships undoubtedly enriched her life and contributed to her happiness. The staff's efforts in fostering a close-knit community are truly commendable. I am grateful for the companionship and support her friends offered her, making her experience at Cardinal Point even more special.
