Nurse-led help comparing assisted living, memory care, board-and-care homes, and independent living in San Ramon and nearby communities—all at no cost to your family.
Finding assisted living or memory care for a parent in San Ramon can feel overwhelming. Our local, nurse-founded team helps your family choose the right community with confidence — at no cost to you.
When a parent or spouse needs more care than home can provide, the search is exhausting — dozens of communities, confusing brochures, pricing no one will quote straight, and big decisions under real time pressure. No San Ramon family should have to navigate it alone.
That's where Bay Area Senior Care Placement comes in. Founded by Melody Amirehsani, a Licensed Vocational Nurse with over 26 years in California senior care — including hospital nursing and assisted living administration — our company brings clinical, insider knowledge to every family we serve. Our senior care placement consultants aren't a call center; we're local advisors who know the San Ramon Valley communities personally, from Dougherty Valley to Bishop Ranch.
We look past the upscale lobbies to what actually matters: Is the community safe? Properly staffed? The right fit for your loved one's health, personality, and budget? Our consultants handle the stressful research and coordination so your family can get back to simply being together.
San Ramon offers a full range of senior care. Knowing the difference saves families from touring the wrong type of community:
Assisted Living — for seniors who are mostly independent but need help with daily tasks like medication, bathing, dressing, and meals. Most San Ramon assisted living communities also offer activities, transportation, and 24-hour staff.
Memory Care — secured communities specifically for seniors living with Alzheimer's or dementia, with specially trained staff and a structured environment.
Board & Care Homes — smaller residential homes (often 6 residents) offering a quieter, more personal setting, sometimes at a lower cost than large communities.
Independent Living — for active seniors who want community and amenities, or who wish to stay at home with support.
When our consultants evaluate a community with you, here's what we look at together:
Care level & licensing — does the license actually cover your loved one's needs, now and as they change?
Staffing ratios — how many caregivers per resident, especially overnight?
Safety record — state inspection history and any citations.
True monthly cost — base rate plus care-level add-ons, which is where families get surprised.
Location & access — proximity to family, San Ramon Regional Medical Center, and Kaiser Permanente San Ramon.
Fit — the food, the activities, the feel. A safe community your loved one dislikes isn't the right one.
As an upscale Tri-Valley community, assisted living in San Ramon typically runs $6000-$8000, with memory care usually higher, and smaller board & care homes sometimes more affordable. The right number depends on the level of care your loved one needs.
Because the communities pay our placement fee, our help finding the right one within your budget is always free to you.
Our consultants know assisted living homes, memory care communities, and other senior living options in and around San Ramon. We help families compare care levels, pricing, location, and overall fit before choosing a community. Options in the area include:
Belmont Village San Ramon — independent living, assisted living, and memory care
Ivy Park at San Ramon — assisted living and memory care
Discovery Commons San Ramon — a range of senior living options
(plus smaller board & care homes throughout the San Ramon Valley that most families never find on their own)
Families also value San Ramon's access to San Ramon Regional Medical Center, Kaiser Permanente San Ramon, and the Alcosta Senior & Community Center. Whether you're looking near Dougherty Valley, Windemere, or closer to Danville and Dublin, we'll match you to the right community.
We start with a comfortable, comprehensive conversation over the phone. You can share your story from the comfort of home while we map out your loved one’s physical care needs, lifestyle preferences, and monthly budget parameters.
After our initial phone consultation, we will ask you to complete a comprehensive assessment. Once we have a clear understanding of your loved one’s care needs, preferences, budget, and location requirements, we do the extensive research on your behalf and present a personalized shortlist of 2–3 senior living communities in the San Ramon area that best match your criteria, provide the appropriate level of care, and maintain strong reputations for quality and safety.
We coordinate all the scheduling for your community visits and help guide you through the process. We provide the right questions to ask, help evaluate the options, and manage the logistics behind the scenes for an easy transition. We are right there with you until move-in day and beyond.
Our placement and advisory services are completely free to families. We're paid by the senior communities — but only after we've found the right match for your loved one. Our loyalty is to your family, not to any one community.

Today, our team of senior care placement consultants carries that same nurse-led standard to every San Ramon family we serve — real local advisors who know these communities personally.
