About this facility
Oakmont of Mariner Point is a state-licensed residential care facility for the elderly (RCFE) at 2400 Mariner Square Drive in Alameda, California. Licensed for 80 residents and flagged in state records as offering memory care, the facility serves adults living with Alzheimer's disease and related dementias. It is operated by Oakmont Senior Living of Mariner Opco, LLC under California RCFE license 019201084. The facility is part of a larger network of Oakmont-branded senior living communities in California.
Memory care approach
As a California RCFE licensed for memory care, Oakmont of Mariner Point operates under Title 22 regulations that govern dementia-specific care, including requirements for staff training, individualized care plans, and secured environments for residents who may wander. State records show no citations under the dementia-specific care standards (§87705 or §87706) across the 17 inspection reports on file. However, the facility has received one Type A deficiency citation—indicating actual harm occurred—though this citation was not related to the dementia-care sections. Families should ask specifically what triggered the Type A citation and what corrective measures were implemented.
Location & neighborhood
The facility is located on Mariner Square Drive in Alameda, a city on an island in the East Bay connected to Oakland by bridges and a tunnel. The East Bay enjoys mild weather year-round, which generally allows for comfortable outdoor visits throughout the seasons.
What families should know
California CDSS records show 17 inspection reports on file for Oakmont of Mariner Point, with 7 complaints investigated through the most recent inspection dated March 2026. The facility has accumulated one total deficiency—a Type A citation, which indicates actual harm rather than merely potential for harm. Type A citations are relatively uncommon and warrant direct questions to facility management about the circumstances and resolution. No citations appear under the dementia-specific care sections (§87705 or §87706). StarlynnCare reports only what state licensing records confirm; bed availability, staffing ratios, and monthly costs are not included in these records.

A complaint investigation was conducted into allegations of inadequate feeding assistance, failure to seek timely medical care, unexplained wounds, and insufficient fall supervision for a resident in memory care during late 2024 and early 2025. All allegations were found to be unsubstantiated—the resident was under hospice care with declining health, staff were documented checking on her regularly, and while she had a poor appetite and refused meals, there was no evidence staff failed to provide adequate care or supervision. The facility provided records showing routine monitoring and documented attempts to assist with nutrition and prevent falls.

S1, S2 and W2 all stated that R1’s health was in decline during her time at the facility. Allegation: Resident sustained unexplained laceration W1 was concerned about the open sores on R1’s heels and considered them to be a laceration. W2 stated that staff were monitoring the condition of R1’s heels on a daily basis. Staff would try to get R1 to lie in bed with her feet elevated so the heels were not in contact with the bed sheets, but she often refused. W2 also stated that she would not consider the sores on R1’s feet to be unexplained laceration. Allegation: Staff did not seek timely medical treatment for resident W1 had no specific information regarding this allegation stating that she “had a feeling” that the residents at the facility were being neglected and that it should be investigated. During the time period outlined in the complaint R1 was on Hospice and receiving regular visits from the Hospice nurse (W2). W2 stated that she was in contact with R1’s physician as needed and felt that R1 received all the medical care she needed in a timely manner. Allegation: Staff are not providing adequate assistance to resident during feeding times W1 never observed R1 during mealtimes but did observe food on her mouth and clothing. S1 and S2 state that R1 would often refuse to eat or eat very little. LPA reviewed R1’s care notes from January 2025 to March 15, 2025, and saw several entries stating that “R1 didn’t eat much,” and “R1 refused breakfast.” Allegation: Staff are not properly supervising residents who may be a fall risk W1 stated that on one of her visits to the facility she found R1 lying in bed with both legs hanging on the left side of the bed with no supervision and the bedroom door shut. S2 stated that residents in the Memory Care Unit who are identified as a fall risk are put on an increased level of supervision, these residents are checked hourly or more as needed. R1 was considered a fall risk and care notes reviewed by LPA document that staff were checking on R1 on a regular and routine basis and would occasionally find R1 trying to get out of her bed or wheelchair in the same manner as described above. ***report continues on LIC9099C*** 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 ***report continues from LIC9099C*** Allegation: Staff are not meeting residents’ dietary needs W1 stated that between her visits to the facility it appeared that R1 had lost weight, and she felt that the staff weren’t monitoring R1 close enough during mealtimes to ensure that she eats her food.
