Who are you searching for?
Residential care homes in Alamo may appeal to seniors who value smaller, more close-knit communities and many opportunities for socialization. Alamo care homes typically take in fewer residents, meaning older adults know each resident in the home and develop strong friendships.
Older-adult care homes vary more than other options for senior living in Alamo, so families can choose from a wide range of prices, amenities, and services. A Place for Mom will work with you to understand the cost of care homes. From there, we’ll help you find the right fit, whether you’re staying on a budget or searching for luxury retirement communities.
You may also consider nearby communities such as Concord, Oakland or San Miguel.

Residential care homes are houses in residential neighborhoods that are equipped, adapted, and staffed to care for a small number of residents, usually between two and 10. Like assisted living communities, staff at care homes typically help residents with activities of daily living, including bathing, dressing, and medication management. Although residential care homes vary significantly depending on the community, services usually include:
A small, upscale suburb east of Oakland, Alamo offers a close-knit community with easy access to conveniences that meet residents’ daily needs, like shopping centers and health care facilities. Alamo fosters and strengthens its local culture with lots of events and festivals, like the Alamo Music and Wine Festival. For outdoor-loving residents, Alamo is within reach of the coast’s sandy beaches, and nearby wilderness areas like Mount Diablo State Park provide countless opportunities to appreciate the Bay Area’s natural landscape and to continue living an active retirement.
In Alamo, residential care homes — sometimes called care homes, board and care homes, group homes, or personal care homes — are often houses in residential neighborhoods that are adapted, equipped, and staffed to care for a small number of residents, usually 10 or less. Similar to assisted living but in a smaller, more residential setting, these homes provide supervision, organized events, and assistance with activities of daily living (ADLs). This means care homes can help with everyday routines but typically do not provide 24-hour skilled nursing assistance.
The median monthly cost of a room in a care home in 2019 was about $4,800 in Alamo and $3,500 in the state of California. However, the cost of living in a care home depends largely on location. Since the homes are private residences, costs are tied to real estate value and therefore may vary greatly.
The total household expenses associated with living in Alamo are rated 60 points above the national average. Grocery and other essential costs are also rated much higher than the average.
