CriticalHas room for improvement
The staff is very new and inexperienced. The GM doesn't know what is going on with her staff. The food is very bland and repetitive. When we moved in to the room there was urine stains and really bad smell

PositiveExcellent Memory Care Experience
I recently moved my dad into the memory care unit at Harbor at Hillsdale Senior Living, and I couldn’t be more pleased with the experience.

PositiveReview for Harbor at Hillsdale
Director [name removed] never returned my phone calls. My mom LOVES the chef and food. Staff sometimes enter her room unannounced, she really dislikes this.

PositiveReview for Atria Park of San Mateo
care givers were so kind and capable of providing great care for my husband. I had only one issue that was difficult when my husband fell out of bed and Atria would not allow bed rails to prevent that - their answer was for me to pay [amount removed] per week to hire a care giver to watch him all night, every night! Only when he went on hospice did we get a bed that prevented his falling.
