About Drake Terrace

from Oasis Senior Advisors

Drake Terrace offers three levels of residential care—Independent Living, Assisted Living, and Memory Care—on the same campus. Independent Living residents maintain an active lifestyle with access to supportive services as needed. Assisted Living adds help with activities of daily living, while Memory Care is designed for individuals with Alzheimer’s disease or other forms of dementia and includes structured programming and a secure setting.

The community is a secured campus, and licensed nurses are on site to oversee medication management, incontinence care, and ongoing assessments. Residents can receive ambulatory care, hospice support, diabetes monitoring, and therapy services from speech, occupational, and physical therapists. A podiatrist visits regularly, and staff members are trained to respond to the unique needs of Memory Care residents.

Accommodations range from studios to larger apartments, some with kitchenettes, private decks, or balconies. Features such as wheelchair-accessible showers, handicap-friendly layouts, air conditioning, high-speed Wi-Fi, cable or satellite TV hookups, and covered parking are available, although not every unit has every feature. Common spaces include outdoor areas with raised planters, a central fireplace, piano, and multiple seating areas; pets are welcome in designated areas subject to community guidelines.

Dining is offered restaurant-style with a professional chef preparing three daily meals plus snacks. The kitchen supports specialized diets including low-sodium, no-sugar, vegan, vegetarian, gluten-free, and international options, and residents may choose all-day dining hours. Guests can join for meals, and special menus accommodate holiday events and private celebrations.

Residents have access to fitness programs, an outdoor swimming pool, a library and computer lounge, and an activity center that hosts karaoke, live music, birthday parties, happy hours, and scheduled social outings. Gardening enthusiasts can use the raised beds, and transportation is arranged for shopping, appointments, and cultural events.

#1 in San Rafael, CA

Residents and their families say:

This community received positive feedback for its well-maintained environment, friendly staff, and extensive range of activities, including exercise classes, intellectual pursuits, arts, music, and social events. Residents appreciate the warmth and professionalism of the staff, the variety in meal options, and the cleanliness of the facility. The accommodations, ranging from studios to two-bedroom units, are generally described as bright, cheerful, and adequately sized for residents' needs. Many reviews highlighted the community's family-like atmosphere, the ease of making new friends, and the variety of on-site amenities such as libraries, movie theaters, and exercise rooms. The location is also appreciated for its convenience to shopping and the provision of transportation for appointments and scenic drives.

However, there were some concerns, notably regarding the level of care for individuals with severe dementia, as it was mentioned that the community does not have a doctor on site, relying instead on nurses who may not be equipped to handle more complex medical needs. The refusal to use Hoyer or Sara lifts for residents who require assistance with mobility was criticized, impacting the facility's rating negatively for some. Additionally, the absence of specific facilities like a swimming pool was mentioned, alongside criticisms about the facility's odor, lighting, and the challenging parking situation. The cost of living in this community was also a topic of discussion, with some feeling that it could be better aligned with the location of the units within the facility. Despite these concerns, many are happy with their decision to reside there, finding significant value in the community's offerings and environment.
