I visited this facility I liked St. Paul's Towers. It had a community of people that I felt I could relate to and it had activities. It houses a lot of retired Berkeley professors, and that is a social milieu that I interact with very well. There were a lot of people in independent living who were not just puttering around but had an interesting lifestyle, visits to museums, plays and concerts, and so on. Also, it was on the edge of Lake Merritt, which was a very nice location. I was interested in that. Unfortunately, it's n... read more

I am a friend or relative of a current/past resident I will be moving to St. Paul's Towers in January. I chose it because I have friends there, and the climate is nicer. I had the opportunity of visiting my friend several times, so I became acquainted with the independent living at that place. The accommodations are very nice. They use a hotel-style layout. My own apartment is very nice and I get 2 meals a day. I have a street-level garden, which I will enjoy. One wall is entirely sliding windows from floor to ceiling a... read more

I visited this facility We went to St. Paul's Towers. They don't admit you to an assisted living situation. They assume you are independent, and then as you continue to age, when it's time that you really do need assistance to get through the day, you have to move to the so-called assisted living unit. We toured the independent living unit. It has beautiful views. It's just a lovely space. Everything about it is very well thought out, appointed, and taken care of. It seemed a little more upscale than the ... read more

I am a friend or relative of a current/past resident My mother did rehab at St. Paul's Towers. They had residents in that place as well. She was OK with it there. She was doing whatever they needed for her to do actively until it's time for her to leave the facility. The floor that she was on was more for medical patients for long stays, but the other floors had a diner. It was very interesting. They had a lot of things for the people to do. I'm sure on other floors, they had people come in and play music. The... read more

I visited this facility St. Paul's Towers is a large community with 14 floors. I like the people that I've met, and it's easily accessible. I like that the inside is filled with wood, and I like the big wood panels.

I visited this facility St. Paul's Towers is a very tall building and it is more of a hotel-type atmosphere and there are so many floors to it. They also have different availability price-wise. The units that they showed us were facing Grand Avenue and Harrison Street, and there's a large cathedral over there. It's almost all glass, so at night when it's light, it's reflected back on the windows on some of the towers. Many of the people there feel the necessity to pull their shades because they can&a... read more

I am a friend or relative of a current/past resident When we moved my mother from Arizona to Oakland so that she could be closer to us, we looked at numerous continuing care communities in the Bay Area before deciding on St. Paul's. However, while we weighed all of my mother's options carefully (I actually created a grid rating each one in numerous areas), my sister and I knew the moment we walked in that this was the place we hoped she would select - and she did! The difference in the energy and alertness levels o... read more

I visited this facility We think St. Paul's Towers is a nice place that didn't have a smell. It's clean without smelling like Pine-Sol. It had an interesting group of people there, and the food was delicious. They had the medical component, library, gym, and activities. The doctors were right downstairs, and the hospital was on the top floor.
