Serra Highlands Senior Living in Daly City provides an Assisted Living program designed to address daily health needs while preserving resident independence. Licensed nurses are on staff to monitor wellness, coordinate physician orders and oversee medication routines, including support for diabetics on oral medications. The clinical team is trained to manage special diets and can admit residents younger than 60 when appropriate. Mild dementia care is available, with protocols in place to promote safety and maintain cognitive function. Residents also have access to visiting podiatry services, reducing the need for off-site appointments.
Daily support extends to a full menu of hands-on services. Certified staff are awake throughout the night, complete with background checks, to respond to pull-cord or personal emergency response system alerts. An activity director is present to help keep residents engaged. Assistance with bathing, dressing, eating and toileting is offered at the full-help level if required, and mobility options cover walkers, wheelchairs, standby supervision and one-person transfers. These measures combine to reduce fall risk and ensure timely help whenever needed.
Accommodation choices include studios and one-bedroom layouts; some feature private bathrooms, in-room cable and the option to paint or decorate walls, but not every unit has all of these elements. Residents may bring familiar furnishings to create a comfortable setting. Housekeeping and linen service are included, and maintenance staff handle routine repairs.
Dining follows a set menu prepared by the culinary team. Snacks are available between meals, and the kitchen can modify textures or ingredients to meet physician-ordered dietary plans, whether for sodium control, diabetic needs or other medical restrictions. Independent Living tenants on campus can opt for a monthly meal plan and continue to receive weekly housekeeping and laundry service while managing their own schedules.
The campus offers resident parking, wheelchair-accessible entrances, a wellness center with fitness equipment, landscaped communal gardens and a full-service salon and spa that doubles as the community barber and beauty shop. There is a library, media room, private dining room, game room and a dedicated space for on-site religious services. Outdoor dining with a grill is available, and residents may enjoy off-site swimming pool privileges. Internet access, newspaper delivery, volunteer opportunities, an on-site sundries shop and scheduled transportation—plus proximity to public transit—simplify everyday life. Pets are allowed; it’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed. Escort and transfer assistance can be arranged for off-campus appointments or community events.
