Signature Programs
Something for everyone.
Associates, local experts and community residents all share interests and opportunities to come together to learn, grow and connect as a community. We feature dozens of courses, classes, and workshops with a little something for everyone.
The perfect fusion of wellness and care.
Through our partnership with the National Council of Certified Dementia Practitioners, we train our Naya caregivers to incorporate our residents into the rhythms of daily living. With empathy and understanding, Nayas communicate through validation rather than correction, helping to instill a sense of joy and purpose.

What People Are Saying
"... They do lots of activities for the residents and we were very impressed with the choices on the menu. The biggest thing that impressed me was that she was due her 5:00 p.m. medication and we took her out shopping for shoes, and we got back around 5:30 p.m., and her meds person was down in the lobby waiting for her and knew her by her name."
"When a treasured family member enters an Assisted Living residence that is not home following an exhausting hospital journey, one hopes for the best. Thankfully, Watermark by the Bay, Emeryville, does not just follow standard Elder Care "requirements"; its intuitive staff anticipates personal needs with gestures that go far beyond keeping a resident healthy.... The Watermark by the Bay individualizes offerings and ensures their residents are happy as well. This beautiful community knows the little things, such as folding laundry with care, seasoning soup with special flavors, delivering the newspaper promptly, scheduling an interesting TED Talk, sending cards following the death of a spouse mean so much. Our family is very grateful for our sister’s thoughtful supervision. Watermark misses nothing, gives from both the mind and the heart, and communicates with us beautifully."
"When you think of placing your mom or dad or uncle or aunt in a secured, serene senior living community, think of The Watermark by the Bay. This is the “Tesla” of senior living; a five-star luxury retirement community for the seniors. The food is outstandingly scrumptious. The chef, Christina and her team are very nice, caring and professional; and they make quality and healthy meals. I eat here all the time! The management team are very wonderful, hard-working and caring human beings. Kevin, the ED, is an astute manager who is detail-oriented, and will always make out time to listen to you. The front desk team are very prompt professionals whose customer service is second to none. The nursing team are very professional too, who provide quality care for the seniors. I like the way they have handled the COVID-19 pandemic, testing both the staff and residents every Tuesday and Wednesday. You guys are doing a wonderful job I highly recommend this place!"
