Fremont Assisted Living

The city of Fremont began as a religious mission, before serving as the first home to California’s motion picture industry. Now that sound has been added to our films and Charlie Chaplin’s days of stardom have passed, Fremont remains a thriving metropolitan city located in the southeast section of the San Francisco Bay area.

Assisted living in Fremont is ideal for seniors who wish to enjoy warm California sunshine, along with a breezy seaside climate to keep the heat at bay.

Fremont Recreation

There are numerous opportunities for residents of assisted living in Fremont to enjoy the great outdoors. Options include leisurely strolls through elegant Fremont Central or Coyote Hills Regional parks, or a journey along the wheelchair-accessible Alameda Creek Trail. Animal lovers can enjoy wildlife viewing at Don Edwards National Wildlife Refuge in nearby Newark.

For local shopping excursions, senior residents can visit the Niles District, an old fashioned Main Street with plenty of antique shops, art galleries and community events. The Fremont Farmer’s Market also offers an alternative shopping experience to the more typical fare of the Fremont Hub Shopping Center and the city’s many outlet shops.

Fremont Activities

The city of Fremont is rich with activities that celebrate the city’s colorful past. On the first and third Sunday of each month, seniors enjoying assisted living in Fremont can experience a one-hour locomotive ride on the Niles Canyon Railway – “The Transcontinental Gateway to the San Francisco Bay” – through the actual canyon where Charlie Chaplin’s “The Tramp” was filmed.

Movie buffs with an appreciation for historic cinema will enjoy a visit to the Niles Film Museum to watch their display of silent movies. For stage performances both classic and modern, try the Broadway West Theatre Company.
