Memory Care Community in San Mateo, California

Bobby

We've live here quite some time now and have enjoyed every minute. The apartments are well laid out. We have a one bedroom/den/bath, but larger two bedroom/two bath units are also available. Every unit has a balcony. You actually own your own condominium here instead of just renting. There are plenty of things to do, and the food is quite good. There's a dining room for evening dinners and Sunday brunch, and a bistro for daily breakfast and lunch. We enjoy a covered pool and hot tub, an exercise room, an onsite beauty salon, and several activity rooms. Best of all is the friendships we've made here. This is the friendliest retirement community that we've ever visited.

I moved into independent living at Atria Hillsdale. The staff is very friendly and responsive. The rooms are 1-bedroom studio apartments with a bathroom, and housekeeping cleans it once a week. There's lots to do around here if you can get around. It's conveniently located. They offer limited transportation. They have bingo, poker, word games, and brain games. I do a lot of reading. It's cheaper than some.

I was very impressed with Atria Hillsdale when I went inside. The place seemed well-run and very nice, but my insurance just couldn't cover that. The person who accommodated me was very nice. Their common areas are very open and nice, and the big dining area is open to the public. It was an extremely clean community, and I liked the layout because everything opened into one area. It's just a little off-putting because it's right off a major highway, but when you go inside, it's completely different.

Atria was very warm and friendly. The staff was very knowledgeable, very friendly, and invited me back.

Villa at San Mateo was a remodeled hotel for senior living. I met two people there who showed me around. It was a very good visit. The administrators were very nice, very kind, and very helpful, and they knew the property very well. I saw amenities like the laundry room. They showed me the calendar of activities going on, but I didn't see any activities when I was there. The food was connected with the restaurant, and they had kitchens where you can cook on your own. Meals aren't included.
