Mission Villa Memory Care

Went on a fantastic tour. Great place for a person with memory problems. Many activities, organized, cheery, spacious, nice rooms, spacious, med room, fantastic dinning area. I can not say more of this facility.
Planning to place someone here.
it is unfortunate that the government does not help out financially, a bit, with expenses. That is for the average income earner. If you have nothing to your name the government can provide assistance. Not the case for the average salary earner.
General costs for any facility like this can range from 3k-​6k depending on the level of care. In the San Francisco are.

These people have taken such great care of my sweet, fragile mother-​in law for the last 18 months. I have noticed that whenever I let staff know one of the residents are asking for something, they take care of it right away. Its clear to me they are good people who do this very hard work for the right reasons. I would not hesitate to recommend this home to anyone.

The staff works hard, always greets me warmly by name and really care for my mom. My mom is always clean. The entire facility is very clean and attractive. I can’t thank my mom’s caregivers enough. I am truly grateful for all they do! I looked at many facilities and this was by far the best.

My mom has been here for a little over 1 year now. We had to move her after we were unable to continue caring for her at home. It was a last minute situation and while I had toured the facility in the past, it was still a very stressful situation. I can’t say enough about the staff here. They are amazing. So caring and friendly. They remember everyone family members names and always say hello when i come to visit. They take wonderful care of my mom. She always is clean and seems content and happy there. The caretakers have great attention to detail and always call ahead when mom needs new medication. once they even called because they noticed that the amount of the medication on the prescription was different from the bottle. Its great that they notice these things. You have to be able to trust the people taking care of your family member, and I definitely trust them. They have live music and activities for the residents They let you bring your pets to visit and I love that my mom can still see our dogs. Everyone there really cares about the residents. Putting your loved on in a care home is a very stressful situation and I’m so happy to have found this place.

There are good/​caring staff here. That said, there are absolutely not enough caregivers to adequately meet the needs of advanced stage Dementia/Alzheimer’s. My loved one’s needs have been ignored at times, meds wrongly given or not given in a timely way. Often, the administration and caregivers don’t have certainty or answers for simple questions.
Update: *3−10−16 There are too many issues here to leave your loved one here. Don’t do it. Injuries, wrong med’s, inadequate charting, hydration. Check the County of San Mateo Omsbudsman for more information.

Im surprised by the 1 star review. My best friends father was living there for 6 years and from what I saw the staff took very good care of him. As a matter of fact I just went to a community event on alhzelmeirs there which was wonderful. At each visit the place was always clean the staff courtious and friendly.

What a great staff!
They’re so friendly and genuinely care for their residents.
