Reviews of Independent Living Facilities in San Francisco

I visited this facilityReview of The Village at Hayes Valley - CLOSED

I wasn't that impressed with The Village at Hayes Valley. The people were nice though. I went to both assisted living and memory care facilities. The main facility was pretty nice and airy, but I only went into the atrium and up to the administrator's office. I didn't get to go around and see where the people live. Across the street was the memory care, which was a really cute Victorian from the outside, but it was a little rough on the inside. The people were nice, but it had a rundown feeling to me. Where my father had been was up to $10,000 a month, and the memory care facility at this place was even more than that. The rundown-ness of the place didn't justify the price. One of the buildings was a lot nicer, looked a lot newer and cleaner, and didn't have that funky or that diaper smell. They had basic activities like bingo, and the memory care residents were engaged in a game or playing music in the kitchen area.

The Village at Hayes Valley was very average. They were very limited in their amenities. Most of the rooms were shared. It was a nice location. It's central city and a good neighborhood.

I am a current client of this providerReview of Honor - In Home Senior Care San Francisco

We got Honor for my mother because of their price and how they're easy to get started with. It's all app-driven and easy to manage. I get reports on my phone on each shift. They do light cleaning, cook, and assist mom in personal care. We are working on getting a team, and the caregivers are all wonderful. I would recommend that their care manager come and do a home visit to see how things are going.

I'm using Honor In Home Senior Care for my mother. They have caregivers who come into the house. My mother doesn't really need that much but my main thing was companionship because she has dementia. She could do a lot of things, but she needs companionship and a little bit of direction. I'm extremely happy with Honor In Home Senior Care. They are very good; I'm very satisfied with them.

We used Honor in Home Senior Care before for my husband. The service was for companionship when I was out. There were too many of them, they sent a different caregiver every time, and it just wasn't working. They had to have more than three days' notice to have anybody come out.
