About The Shores at Pleasant Hill

from Oasis Senior Advisors

The Shores at Pleasant Hill offers three levels of residential care—Assisted Living, Independent Living, and Memory Care—so residents can move between service plans without leaving the community. A secured environment supports all three options, providing extra safety for those living with cognitive change and offering peace of mind for families.

A broad clinical program underpins these care settings. On-site support ranges from diabetes management and speech therapy to daily nursing oversight and medication administration. Residents have access to occupational and physical therapists, podiatry visits, hospice coordination, and personal care assistance that covers bathing, dressing, mobility, and incontinence. Specialized memory-support programming, spaces designed to reduce confusion, and pet-focused engagement round out the medical services, while ambulatory and nursing-home–level services allow the community to respond if needs become more complex.

Apartments are available in multiple layouts, including two-bedroom suites, and may feature kitchenettes, in-unit washers and dryers, Wi-Fi, cable TV, and wheelchair-accessible showers. Outdoor sitting areas, a central fireplace, and an outdoor garden extend the living space beyond the apartment doors. Because configurations vary, not every unit contains every feature; staff can clarify which amenities apply to specific floor plans. Housekeeping, utilities, and maintenance are included, and parking is on site.

Meals are prepared by a professional chef and served throughout the day, with guest meals, gluten-free options, and private-dining arrangements available. Residents may choose to dine in the main restaurant-style venue, request meals to go for BBQs or picnics on the grounds, or take advantage of all-day dining if schedules change. Nutritional monitoring aligns with individual care plans, and special diets can be accommodated in consultation with medical staff.

Recreational and wellness amenities include an activity center, library and computer lounge, indoor walking paths, swimming pool, Jacuzzi, billiards, and a movie theater room. Residents may join clubs, fitness and stretching classes, education programs, and Live Well health sessions. The calendar also features intergenerational projects, day trips, social outings, and holiday events, all designed to promote engagement and routine physical activity.
