#4 in San Mateo, CA

Residents and their families say:

This community has received high praise for its professional and caring staff, beautiful grounds, and high standard of resident care. Reviewers consistently note the cleanliness, maintenance, and overall appealing atmosphere of the community. Many appreciate the varied and high-quality food options, often a result of resident input through a food committee. The availability of a range of living options, from independent living to more comprehensive care levels, including hospice, is frequently mentioned as a positive aspect. Facilities such as a heated swimming pool, spa, and fully furnished apartments add to the residents' quality of life. Activities and the sense of community are highlighted, with residents enjoying everything from outings and in-house concerts to the thriving social scene reminiscent of a small town.

However, some reviews point to concerns such as the expense associated with living here, specifically the high buy-in cost and monthly fees that may not be affordable for everyone. Although the community is praised for its elegance and the availability of various amenities including dining areas, some have observed the rooms, especially the second bedroom in two-bedroom apartments, to be on the smaller side. Despite these concerns, the staff's friendliness and professionalism, the community's security measures, and the overall positive atmosphere are consistently commended. The lack of on-premises skilled nursing care was noted as a drawback by one reviewer, suggesting a potential area for improvement or consideration for prospective residents with specific health care needs.
