Assisted Living Communities in San Francisco, CA

"I saw Heritage on the Marina for the fourth time now. It’s a three-tiered community with independent living, assisted living, and skilled nursing. I like the cleanliness, the friendliness, the knowledgeability, the quality, and the payment structure of the whole place. They don’t have any rooms to be seen available right now because they are refurbishing. "

"My mother is with Aldersly. They offer many activities for residents and provide services. The staff is very friendly and accommodating. It's a totally different living environment than what I'm used to, but the room sizes were plenty for my mother. They have workout areas for the retirement community. Of course, they're very different from the workout gyms that people my age would use. Their dining facilities are very nice, and they have excellent cooks. I think it provides good service and good living facilities for the money, so we're satisfied. We have no complaints about the financial situation."

"We chose The Ivy at Golden Gate for my husband because of the location to our home and I was very pleased with the tour of the facility. I like the staff's attentiveness to the residents and consistency of attention. The chef prepares very good meals. They are nutritionally balanced and the presentation is excellent. They have different meetings, outings if the resident chooses, meetings of the residents, and recognition of special birthdays. They just had a special recognition for anyone who turned 90 or 100 this year, and it was beautifully done. It was very, very nice. The facility is beautiful. You're getting what you pay for."

"We visited Serra Highlands Senior Living. It was nice. Everything was very clean, and the people were really friendly. The rooms were a little outdated. They had shared bathrooms, and they were pretty small. They had to share a bathroom with the other unit next to it. The staff who gave the tour was amazing. She was really, really thorough, friendly, and competent. She's really good at what she did. They have lots of activities there, like arts and crafts type things. Some people were playing bingo and walking around. Everybody was very, very friendly."

"I toured the Elders Inn. It had a beautiful courtyard, was clean, and had no unpleasant odors. The front desk and touring staff coordinator were very nice. Tristan was great. It is located on a busy street but the old folks are not going to be walking along the street and it's across the street from a gas station. It's an old building in an old part of town but that's not their fault."

"My life has improved since moving to Cardinal Point . I enjoy my quiet apartment, meals in the dining room, many opportunities to exercise, join reading/discussion groups, play board/card games, work in the garden, walk along the estuary and thru the lovely neighborhood. With advance planning, transportation to neighboring cities, medical appointments and local errands is provided . The laundry rooms, reading rooms and library, all public spaces are well maintained. Staff is helpful and pleasant."

"I toured the Oakmont of Mariner Point. It's beautiful and in a beautiful neighborhood, overlooking the water. I'm not choosing it because they don't have enough level of care. Janet and Charles are great. They gave a gift bag like a box of cookies but no sampling of meals. They didn't even show me rooms. I only talked to them and the dining room, they didn't show me. Maybe there wasn't a room that was clean at that moment. I don't know. I don't care, I didn't need to see the room because I knew it wasn't appropriate."

"We're considering it because it's a 10-minute walk from where we live. The overall experience with my tour was very good. We got a lot of information and we saw the facility. It was good. We saw several rooms. The place was clean, neat, and well-lit. It looked safe for the residents to be in. I would describe the staff as caring, thoughtful, and non-invasive."

"We toured Belmont Village Albany. They had a lot of activities. We liked the programs that they had. We liked that they also had medical staff 24/7. Their place was very light and bright. They have multiple areas for eating and they’re very modern. We had cookies. They just came out for their afternoon snacks and they were really good chocolate cookies."

"The tour at Waters Edge Lodge was very thorough. The gentleman that gave the tour was very friendly and knowledgeable. It was very informative and pleasant. It went well. He showed me probably three or four different floor plans. They have a movie room, and they have a happy hour once a week. They have some live music in the lounge area. They have excursions for the seniors. There's a courtyard, a beauty salon, and a little coffee area. It was a nice facility, but I liked the other place better."

"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."

"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."

"We enjoyed our tour. It had a nice garden area that all of the residents could go into on their own free will. The staff seem nice and caring. We were there for their Thanksgiving family lunch. So, families came in and interacted. The food was great. It was very nice."
