My good friend Charlie has gotten good care there and the staff during my visits have been attentive and helpful. The place is always spotless clean and smells great—not every one of these places have a great vibe or a great scent, in my experience. I’m grateful WSA does! And the girl at the front desk is ALWAYS cheerful and positive. A great way to enter every time…

West Shore in Alameda provided exceptional care for my grandma during her stay. The staff were incredibly nice, professional, and attentive. They always made sure to address any concerns we had right away. The facility itself is very clean, and there always seems to be housekeeping staff there. They also have a very good therapy team. The therapists were patient, encouraging, and truly committed to helping my grandma make progress, which made a big difference in her recovery. The nursing staff in particular were outstanding & knowledgeable. They treated my grandma with genuine kindness and professionalism, and kept us informed throughout her stay. The hospital had a couple of different skilled nursing facilities to choose from, and I’m truly glad we chose West Shore. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend West Shore to my family or anyone who needs a skilled nursing facility. Our experience there was very positive.
