Overview of Sunol Creek Memory Care

Sunol Creek Memory Care is a purpose-built, single-story memory care community on Sunol Boulevard in Pleasanton, California. Operated by Agemark Management LLC and administered by Joan Newman, the 46-bed facility has been running for 12 years and holds private room accommodations throughout. At 85% occupancy, 39 of its 46 beds are currently filled.

The design choices at Sunol Creek are legible and deliberate. A circular indoor walking path reduces dead-end confusion for residents with dementia. Secure outdoor space gives residents access to fresh air without requiring constant line-of-sight supervision.

Integrated nurse call and delayed egress systems, ample natural lighting, and a group activity room round out a physical plant built around cognitive safety rather than aesthetic amenity. A secured perimeter and grab bars are standard throughout.

Care is provided around the clock by licensed nurses and CNAs. Rehabilitation services, short-term rehab, and respite care are available, giving the community some flexibility beyond long-term memory care placement. Activities and enrichment programming are offered on-site. Dining is adapted to resident needs.

State inspections have tended to concentrate on medication management and staffing credentials rather than direct safety failures. The starting price is $5,495 per month.

Sunol Creek is a focused, operationally specific community. It is built for adults living with Alzheimer’s or other dementia diagnoses who need secured, around-the-clock supervised care in a setting designed from the ground up for cognitive decline, not retrofitted for it.

Frequently Asked Questions about Memory Care in California

What's the difference between assisted living and memory care in California?

Assisted living in California supports residents with daily activities (bathing, dressing, medication management) while preserving independence. Memory care is a specialized form of assisted living for residents living with Alzheimer's or dementia, and adds 24/7 secured environments, dementia-trained staff, and structured routines designed to reduce confusion and wandering.

Does California Medicaid cover memory care?

California Medicaid does not directly pay room-and-board for memory care, but most states (including California) offer Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS) waivers that can offset the cost of care services delivered inside a licensed community. Eligibility, waitlists, and covered services vary — check directly with the state Medicaid agency.

What is memory care?

Memory care is a specialized form of assisted living for residents living with Alzheimer's disease or other forms of dementia, with secured environments, dementia-trained staff, and routines built to reduce confusion and wandering.

How many memory care communities are listed on this page?

This page features 1119 memory care communities in California. Use the filters and comparison tools above to compare ratings, amenities, and pricing.

How do I choose the right memory care community in California?

Start by matching the level of care offered to the resident's current and anticipated needs, then compare licensing status, staff-to-resident ratios, recent inspection results, and pricing. Tour at least two or three communities in California, talk to current residents and families, and confirm what is included in the base rate versus billed as add-on services.

What should I look for when visiting memory care communities in California?

Pay attention to staff interactions with residents, cleanliness and odor, food quality at meal times, the activity calendar, and how questions about pricing and care plans are answered. Ask to see the most recent state inspection report, the move-out / level-of-care-change policy, and a sample monthly bill that lists every fee.
