    Portola Gardens Assisted Living in San Francisco has been the biggest gift to our sister and family. After a near death accident which left our sister with a permanent brain injury, we searched for the perfect facility that would meet her physical, mental and social needs. Our family is beyond grateful for the exquisite care our sister is receiving from the nursing staff, the activities coordinators and especially Lynda Connelly who has been a pillar of support and professionalism alongside the rest of the Executive & Business Staff. As Powers of Attorney for our sister, we are thankful for the loving, mindful, efficient and consistent care our sister receives and love the amount of time Portola Gardens puts into the wellbeing and socializing of their Residents with quality activities and homemade healthy food! If you need to locate your loved one into a facility, Portola Gardens and its beautiful grounds is a beautiful place! Thank you!
