The Magnolia of Millbrae sits in a mid-rise building with one- and two-bedroom apartment homes that feel like regular houses, with things like walk-in closets, fireplaces, balconies, full-size kitchens with wood cabinets, washers and dryers, and even all-electric kitchens, and if you like having company, there are guest suites for visitors, and if you have a pet, they allow those too. The place holds up to 180 residents and offers month-to-month rentals so you're not tied down, with room sizes between 645 and 1,010 square feet, so there's some choice. For people who want some help, they have assisted living services that come right to your apartment, along with independent living, memory care, nursing home care, and continuing care, so folks who need more hands-on help like with bathing, dressing, moving around, or keeping track of their medicines can get it right there, and they personalize care plans every six months or as often as needed.
The staff keeps things rolling with daily housekeeping, laundry that's done how you like it, transfer help, and transportation for appointments or outings, and they bring in nurses for 12 to 16 hours a day with a 24-hour call system if something comes up. Security's tight too, with a digital video setup around the building keeping an eye on places like the pool, spa, garage, fitness room, courtyard, and other common spaces, so folks feel safer. There's housekeeping and regular health checks, plus nutrition counseling to help with meals, and meals get special attention in a big dining room where a chef puts together food that meets different diets. You'll find a beauty salon, barbershop, ice-cream parlor, library, and a computer room, plus spaces for crafts, games, and meetings.
Folks can take walks on green paths, sit by the gardens, or hang out at the heated pool or spa, and if you enjoy being social, there's daily happy hours, games in the library, festive holiday and birthday parties with decorations and treats, music events, fitness classes, outings, and more, and the schedule's always full with things to do or try out, so boredom's not much of an issue. The wellness center has a spa and fitness room, and there are fitness and recreation spots throughout, so there's lots of ways to stay active or just get a little exercise. The staff is known for being friendly and helpful, treating people with plenty of warmth, and the whole place leans more toward a homey, relaxed feel instead of feeling too formal.
The Magnolia holds a license from the state of California (License #: 415600154) and scores high marks-9.9 out of 10-according to public reviews that consider things like services, care, and the setup of the community. If you need help with medicines or daily tasks, staff provides assistance, and they keep up with each resident's needs carefully. Activities of Daily Living (ADL) help, personal assistance programs, and transfer help are in place to make sure residents can keep their independence as much as possible. Apartments are spacious and set up for comfort, with some having those nice extras like balconies and fireplaces, and everything's designed so life runs easier, stays safe, and feels good.
