Waters Edge Lodge's staff was very receptive, and the appointment was met in a timely manner. The person who showed us around explained all the activities and took us to the health center, exercise room, and general activity room. The place was clean and was in a beautiful area right near the water. It was a very nice place. The studio was much too small to want to live in on a regular basis. You'd get claustrophobia. The various areas of activities were wonderful.

Waters Edge Lodge is a beautiful location. The facility seemed great, and the pricing was very good for what it was. The lady who showed us around was very accommodating, very nice, well informed, and really educated us on the different options. It was a good experience. The rooms were very nice, clean-looking, and were a nice size.
According to the 2018 Genworth Cost of Care study, the average cost of assisted living in Alameda is $5,500 per month, which is right on par with the nearby cities of Santa Rosa and San Jose. Seniors in Santa Cruz pay slightly more ($5,595), while those in Napa pay a bit less at $5,425 per month. Rates here are well above the state ($4,500) and national ($4,000) averages and substantially more expensive than inland locales, such as Stockton ($3,500) and Modesto ($3,200).
Note: Data for senior care costs in Alameda wasn’t available, so data for the closest surveyed city, San Francisco, was used here instead.

Senior care costs in Alameda vary significantly depending on the category of care and whether 24-hour services are needed. Nursing home care is by far the costliest option, mainly due to the skilled round-the-clock care offered in these facilities. Adult day health services cost the least of all the available care choices, but this only provides Monday-through-Friday daytime services in a group care center setting. Average rates for homemaker and home health aide services are somewhat deceiving because these figures don’t include other costs directly related to receiving care at home, such as utility bills, maintenance, food and property taxes. When these expenses are added on, the cost of in-home care may be much higher than the rates for assisted living in a residential setting with room and board included.
