What if I need help with transportation in the future?

The good news is that Phoenix Commons is in an excellent location for walking to a wide range of services and accessing public transportation.  The community has a walk ability rating of 92 which means that many essential amenities, from shopping to entertainment, are within a 15 minute walk from home.

With the exception of a very gradual incline over the Park Street Bridge leading to Alameda proper, the area is flat and easy to negotiate. Public transit is convenient with a bus stop right next door taking you to Bart and other local destinations.  In addition, community volunteers and/or the paid maintenance person can provide urgent (non medical transport) when needed.

Will the developers stay involved after all the homes are sold?

Yes, Alameda Elder Communities (AEC) and their facilities stand ready to provide supportive services and/or consultation to the community for future care needs.  This might include providing care services or locating appropriate services within its vast network of ancillary providers and consultants.  Phoenix Commons’ residents will have special access to AEC facilities, programs and many of its associated services.  Because of its association with AEC, Phoenix Commons’ residents will enjoy many of the benefits of a full service senior community, without paying the high monthly fees associated with the overhead to operate and maintain these amenities.
