About The Bluffs at Hamilton Hill
The Bluffs at Hamilton Hill: Where History Meets Modern Comfort Nestled within the historically rich Hamilton Hill in Novato, California, The Bluffs at Hamilton Hill offers a unique living experience that beautifully blends the past with the present.

Nice and clean facility, way too many turnovers in the staff. They weeded out so many wonderful employees and we are praying this stops.

CriticalDo Not Recommend
I have a family member currently living at The Bluffs. They have extremely high employee turnover and are dangerously understaffed. I have confirmed multiple days per week having only 2 to 3 caregivers for 35 plus residents. My family member has waited over an hour for a response to her emergency call button. If there is a large scale emergency, it could be catastrophic. I have raised serious concerns to management multiple times with no resolution and, even more concerning, no response.
Response from the communityThank you for taking the time to leave your feedback. We would like to have a better understanding of your experience at Hamilton Hill. At your convenience, we encourage you to contact our Regional Director of Sales and Operations, Lori Spencer, at 949-242-1405.
