Clean, caring, wonderful, nice people! Everyone is very thoughtful and cares about your well- being. They like to have client’s input and listens to them for any concerns. They love families to visit (we park in their enclosed gated underground lot). The parties are so fun, bingo, card games, board games, and painting with a real paint brush and paint. Some of the residents are talented and their art is put up in the hallways. I always see outside social workers checking-in with their patients so thats a good thing. I like the food here (excellent view too!) and it is a step above hospital food and not overly salted and I don’t detect msg. Everything tastes freshly made, especially the cookies! We made a very good choice picking “the avenue”which is on Van Ness Ave. & Geary. It’d across the street from CPMC hospital so no worries in emergencies. Keep up the great work!
