The Trousdale

The Trousdale sits in Burlingame, CA, and offers independent living, assisted living, memory care, skilled nursing, and rehabilitation services, so seniors can find help as their needs change and there's a real focus on continuing care over time, which is handy if someone wants to stay in one place for a while, and there are 124 units for assisted living and memory care, with options for studios, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom layouts, though the units do run a bit smaller than some might expect. Peninsula Health Care District and Eskaton, which has over 50 years in senior living, partner to operate this place, and most folks agree the managing director gives strong support to the staff, so that's probably why things run smoothly. The daily life here includes housekeeping, weekly laundry, transportation to appointments or shopping, and both restaurant-style and grab-and-go dining choices with nutritious meals from a skilled chef, and people can bring pets along too, which helps with comfort and companionship. Residents get help with activities like bathing, dressing, and medication, and if someone is living with dementia or memory issues, there's a secure space with a person-centered memory care program aiming for a safe, meaningful daily routine, and specialized supports stay available twenty-four hours a day, especially for those needing skilled nursing, rehab, or extra medical attention. The building features patios, walkways, a theatre, library, common rooms, fitness center, beauty salon, and Wi-Fi everywhere, plus Amazon Alexa devices and an "eConnect" tablet in each apartment, so people can use tech for news, contact, or activities, and family can stay looped in with Eskaton Connect. The place emphasizes programs for physical, mental, social, and emotional well-being, with trips, lifelong learning classes, art, lectures, SingFit music sessions for health, exercise classes like tai chi and yoga, and holistic therapies including massage and aromatherapy. People can visit or take a tour in person or virtually, see daily life, the amenities, the bistro, café, and maybe even meet residents and staff. The Trousdale puts social connection at the front with communal spaces, shared meals, and online communication tools like Facebook and Messenger for residents and their families. There's a focus on safety and innovation, using smart sensor tech, emergency call systems, and air purification in public spaces to help keep everyone safe, and access for people with disabilities is built in. The facility hosts educational events, open houses, and keeps a photo gallery online so folks can check things out before deciding. The location puts residents close to Mills-Peninsula Medical Center, doctors' offices, public transit, restaurants, and shopping, so getting around isn't too hard, and the transportation service helps with that. The Trousdale aims to provide a place where seniors can explore new passions, enjoy social activities, and live as independently as possible, backed up by the ongoing support of Eskaton and a verified license status showing they meet current regulations.
