I entrusted my husband to this facility for six years (I've been involved over nine) and found a clean, home-like, family atmosphere where administrator Dennis Ambat and much of the staff met medical needs, showed compassion and humor, and often went the extra mile - walks, laundry, holiday decorating - in a quiet dead-end location near a park. There were occasional lapses in communication and empathy, but overall he felt loved, respected and well cared for; I highly recommend them.

The facility aims to create a safe, comfortable, and friendly place for seniors, focusing on both independence and community.
Jefferson Care Home offers assisted living, memory care, and hospice care to meet different needs, and they take care of people who need help with daily activities like bathing, dressing, medication, or just getting around.

They have plans in place for those struggling with memory loss. Residents get home-cooked meals every day and can join exercise schedules, music plans, and board games.

Community night events and a recreation room help residents connect, and the garden areas give some fresh air.

Short-term and respite stays are available, as well as support for people needing disease-specific or cancer care, and they help families by connecting them with VA benefits and other programs.
People at Jefferson Care Home enjoy ongoing wellness programs, daily planned activities, and a place where the focus remains on each person's health, hobbies, and social life. Even though there's only one employee listed, the care stays focused and attentive. The business has a BBB.org profile but is not BBB accredited and doesn't accept Medicare unless certified by CMS. The home welcomes seniors from the San Francisco Bay Area and Northern Coastal California, offering care in a residential setting that tries to feel more like home than a clinic, which many families find comforting.
