About Quail Garden

Family-owned and operated. Providing East Bay Area families an exceptional assisted living experience for over 25 years.

Quail Garden is a Residential Care Facility for the Elderly in the East Bay Area. Located in a quiet, residential neighborhood, the wide, tree-lined streets are close to downtown shopping, restaurants and conveniences. Quail Garden is part of the East Bay Area’s Old Town Livermore. Our building was first known as St. Paul’s Hospital, built in 1927. Many local people were born and cared for here.

At Quail Garden, we care about your senior with all the love that is deserved of each of us, as we reach our Golden Years. When your senior comes to live here, you can be assured that he or she will be happy and well cared for every day. You will enjoy visiting our lovely garden or playing games with your loved one in their beautifully decorated home.

Quail Garden provides a loving family environment, cozy living space, family-style meals, caring staff, both private and semi-private rooms, on-site 24/7 staff, and activities all in a convenient location in the heart of Livermore’s Historic Downtown.

We subscribe to the philosophy that the individual should have the right to choose the setting in which he/she wishes to receive the care and services that he/she needs and desires. There are so many important points to consider in choosing an assisted living facility that we have put together a guide and a worksheet to assist you.

Things You Should Consider When Choosing an Assisted Living Home

Selecting an appropriate assisted living facility for your loved one is one of the most important decisions you will ever make. The proper facility will make the difference in the mental, social, and physical well-being of your loved one.

In choosing an assisted living facility some important points to consider and things that you should expect are:

To be treated with dignity and respect

To be informed of services provided and the limitations of those services

To retain and use your personal possessions

To be allowed and encouraged to interact freely with others both inside and outside the residence and the community

To have freedom of religion and practice that religion in a supportive environment

To control your health-related services

To be able to expect and have your privacy.

To help you, we have put together a guide and also a worksheet to assist you in choosing the home that is right or your loved one.

If you have any questions, we hope you will contact us!

“We moved my 83 year old mother to Quail Garden in January 2015. After looking at 10 assisted living places in the area (many visits at different times), we decided Quail would suit her needs better than the larger places we visited.

The environment at Quail Garden is smaller and more intimate, giving her a sense of a home away from home. And, she has adjusted remarkably well. She was living at home with a caregiver but didn’t have interaction with anyone since there was no family living in her town. She now has a lovely roommate and it seems as though they are each trying to help each other. And, there is conversation around meals, activities, and entertainment throughout the week. The place is not so big as to be overwhelming and yet provides just the right amount of activity to keep her a little on her toes.

My sister and I feel so blessed to have found this place and mom is thriving.”

Family Owned and Operated since 1998

Originally Livermore’s historic St. Paul’s Hospital, the site had served as a skilled nursing facility for Valley Memorial, and later as an Assisted Living Facility when Bob Londagin and his late wife Diane purchased it in 1998. “We changed the name to Quail Garden because Diane’s father had died several years prior, and going to the cemetery we had to stop for a family of quail crossing the road,” he said. “We took this as a sign that family is everything important.”

The Londagin’s daughter, Alicia Johnston, who’d earned a degree in Nutritional Science in 1999, returned home to help as her mother battled cancer. As Diane’s cancer progressed, Johnston started running the business and has continued since then. Quail Garden is still operated by the Londagin family. Alicia Johnston is Quail Garden’s administrator.

In Loving Memory of Diane, without whose guidance and inspiration, Quail Garden would not be what it is today.
