Assisted Living Communities in Foster City, CA

"The very first one we saw was The Stratford. It's quite an elegant place. It presents very nicely. It's very nice and clean. The units are a little bit on the small side, but very nice, and they have (I think) 11 floors, so it's a high rise, and they have nice views. Everything about it seemed very nice. The staff who accommodated me was very nice and very accommodating. She answered questions and gave us materials to bring home. She followed up by asking questions online to see if I had any more questions, which was good. We were looking at larger units, so we saw a two-bedroom unit. The second bedroom was kind of small, but it's an older building and I think the older buildings don't have as large units. They also have parking for people that still have cars. One of the things about The Stratford is that the places are condominiums. So you buy a unit as if you're living in a condominium, so it's a different model. Most of them, you're renting a room by the month, and you pay an entrance fee. Whereas at The Stratford, you own the unit, and you pay a condominium fee like you would in a condominium building. Some people might like that, but we didn't really like that model. The location is very good because it's across from a city park. The ambiance of the area is quite good."

"We could see that he was being well cared for. Facility was very clean. Everyone there very friendly."

"It is a great place and my mom likes it a lot. She has a large 2-room apartment. She has 3 meals a day. There's a courtyard in the front, which is a very nice sunny patio area with nice chairs that overlooks the park. The staff is very friendly and helpful. I've eaten there and it's good. My mom likes it. Every day, there are activities all day. So, my mom has her breakfast. She then goes to exercise class. After exercise, there might be a game, then she'll have lunch. Then there might be another game. And then, there's a movie in the afternoon. The best thing about it is that it's the most affordable one that I've seen. I was expecting it to be a lot lower quality because of the price, but I was surprised at how nice it is for what you pay. They clean her apartment once a week, and they change her linens. It is also located in a very nice area, right near the nice downtown."

"We toured Brookdale Redwood City over a year ago. The fellow followed up with us and everything. Brookdale is the only one that I've ever seen that has a full-length swimming pool. I asked the guy what the people were complaining about right now, and he said the fact that the swimming pool wasn't available because they're doing some work on it. So they need to get on that bandwagon and get the pool done. The staff was terrific. We had a tour during the lunch period, and some of the people at the tables talked to us when we went by. They're very friendly. I considered going there, but the room that we were shown wasn't as friendly as some other rooms that we had seen. I think that building has probably been in existence for a long time, and things kind of looked a little rundown. They said they're in the process of changing out some of the bathtubs for showers that you just walk into."

"The Trousdale is really good. I'm really impressed with the staff and the memory unit where my wife is at. Other than that, it's a senior living, too. It's six stories and really nice. It's a little on the expensive side, but we do have insurance for that. The facility is very clean because they're meticulous about keeping it clean. It's relatively new so it has that new scent. It's really nice to walk around the neighborhood, too. We just took a walk a little while ago. I was impressed that they have a very active program. They have a staff member who comes in regularly. I'm not sure what floors she does but a staff member goes to the memory unit regularly. She's assigned to the entertainment and I think they played bingo today. Overall, the staff have been great. A couple of them are exceptional, especially the ones who take care of my wife. The girl that runs the unit, the manager, is also good. They're all very professional and caring. The food looks good to me. In my wife's case, she can't really use a fork or knife anymore but she's gaining weight a little, so I can't complain. They have a really nice dining room that I take my wife down to, on occasion. They serve a Ritz Carlton type of food, and the chef is really good. Their display is wonderful and I'm impressed with it."

"My mother is a resident of Oakmont of Burlingame. I was impressed with the number of staff to the number of people that are living there. There was a very good ratio of staff compared to people living there. The place was clean, they went ahead and offered to help things move in. The staff in general check on her on a daily basis and every couple of hours. They bring her breakfast, because she chooses to have breakfast in her apartment, and then they take her to lunch and dinner and other activities. I check with my mother just about every other day, and she says that she likes it there. The food's good. The staff is wonderful. There's good communication between the staff. I talked to the nurse, left a message for the nurse last week to give me a call, and the nurse called me about two hours later and gave me an update on how my mom's doing. So, we're just very pleased with the overall appearance of the place and her apartment, which is perfect for her. She has a one bedroom; it's kind of an open floor plan and it has a little kitchenette. Then it has a bathroom with a walk-in shower and a shower bench. It has a TV living area, and she has two recliners in there. They were very helpful with our moving in, providing some assistance, and things like that. I viewed the place on Thursday, and they put new carpet in on Monday, and painted over the weekend. There were some touch-ups done on walls and so on. It came in very fresh and clean. It was a good choice. The apartment is very spacious. My mother is on the first floor, and the aisles are very wide. They have a beautiful courtyard outside with picnic tables. There was another sitting area that was covered so that people can go outside. When we were there there were people that were brought outside to have lunch if they wanted. It was very nice to just have different options. My mom goes to bingo, and I think she does a few other activities and exercises every day."

"I toured Oakmont of Redwood City. They were all great. I would have been happy with any of them if I needed a place. Everyone was prepared when I got there. They have multiple movie rooms. They had a room for after-hours food where customers could help themselves to after-hours sandwiches and snacks and things. They had a rooftop garden area and it was nice with lots of seating for clients. They provided lunch for me and it was very good."

"We had lunch at Cadence Millbrae, and it was delicious. The staff showed us a lovely room, really nice, but it wasn't a one-bedroom. It was a two-bedroom facing the park, and it was really lovely. It's one of the nicest ones I've ever seen. They were accommodating, too."

"My dad has been settled for several months now, so he's fine, and he is in Golden Age. I'm very happy with them. They take excellent care of my dad. He is very happy there. I don't have any complaints at all. He has a bedroom. Golden Age is a home; it's a private home. I think there are five bedrooms, and each resident has their own bedroom. They've been there for over 20 years. There are two caregivers at all times. Mostly, the folks that are there are elderly, they're in their 90s, or they're disabled, and they can't do any activities. They have TV, they have books, they have all sorts of things. They can go outside in the backyard and on the patio when it's nice outside. For the most part, these folks that are in there are bedridden, if you will, so it is hard for them to do activities. The rooms are fairly large."
