A community-wide meeting about the new assisted living facility nearing completion on Sunol Boulevard will be held on Oct. 21 at 10 a.m. at the Pleasanton Senior Center, 5353 Sunol Blvd.

Anyone interested in learning more information about the Parkview Regent Assisted Living facility, particularly its 31 affordable units, is encouraged to attend. Pre-applications will be available at the meeting, said Lisa Grady, senior project manager for BRIDGE Housing Corp., the San Francisco-based affordable housing developer working in partnership with the city of Pleasanton on the project.

Grady, city housing specialist Scott Erickson and a representative from Eskaton, the property management company, will offer an overview of the project and conduct a question and answer session.

Information about the facility also will be available at a site office scheduled to open next week. The onsite marketing office can be reached at 461-3042.

Construction on the 105-unit complex is scheduled to be completed in December and it is set to open in January, Erickson said.

When completed, the 3.5-acre complex will include 86 assisted living units ranging in size from studio to two-bedroom apartments, and a separate one-story “memory care” building specially designed to house 19 dementia care patients.

The complex also features common areas for the residents, including a living room, library, wellness center, multipurpose rooms, a community dining area and a private dining room. The memory care building features studio apartments as well as common lounges, dining rooms and an enclosed courtyard.

“This is an important addition to the scope of housing options we have in Pleasanton for seniors,” Erickson said. “This facility provides a middle ground for people before a nursing home.”

Of the facility’s 105 units, 74 will be rented at market rate and will be made available on a first-come, first-serve basis, Erickson said. Applications for the market rate units will be available soon in the facility’s new onsite office, Grady added.

The remaining 31 units, including one bed in the memory care wing, will be set aside for people of low and very low incomes, Erickson said.

For the affordable units, there will be an application and selection process, Erickson said. First priority will be given to seniors who are already living in subsidized housing units in Pleasanton, he said.

Second priority will be given for seniors who live in Pleasanton and third priority will be given to applicants who have family members living in the city, Erickson said.

“Affordability is the key component,” he said. “People in the below-market rate units will pay one fee no matter what level of service they require. In the market rate units, the rate is on a tier based on the need for level of care.”
