Ground has been broken on Alzheimer’s Services of the East Bay’s new Fremont site at the campus of the Dominican Sisters of Mission San Jose. This will be ASEB’s third site, along with its current Berkeley and Hayward locations.
The new Fremont site will be the first dementia-specific Adult Day Health Care in Fremont, and will fill an unmet need in the area of memory care in southern Alameda County, serving Fremont and surrounding communities. ASEB Fremont will have a capacity of 50 clients per day, and feature a stunning garden area, taking advantage of Fremont’s warm climate.
This project is in partnership with the Dominican Sisters of Mission San Jose, and is an integral part of their Bold Awakening strategic plan. In an effort to utilize unused space, the sisters weighed various options for opening parts of their Fremont campus up to the public. A number of community partners were considered, but with members of the sisters’ own population experiencing memory loss, a partnership with ASEB seemed a natural fit.
This project was made a reality with grants from the City of Fremont, as well as private foundations.
ASEB’s new site is expected to open in the fall of 2014.
