Atria Park of San Mateo sits about 20 minutes from downtown San Francisco, providing a senior and assisted living community where staff and residents know each other by name and share a sense of community, and when you walk in, the place feels clean with fresh air and friendly faces always seem to be around. The community offers different kinds of care such as independent living for active adults, assisted living for those who want some help with daily life, memory care for folks living with Alzheimer's or other forms of dementia in their secure Life Guidance® neighborhood, and even a skilled nursing facility onsite for residents needing more hands-on medical care, and all these areas are licensed with number 415600133, which gets checked twice a year.
The Activity Director plans events, and there's a daily Engage Life® program plus The Social Series holds things like outdoor parties or book swaps, so there's always something folks can join to stay busy or meet neighbors, and there's a wellness center right inside the building for checkups and health monitoring, as well as a nurse available on-site at all hours in case anyone needs medical help or support, which can include things like diabetes help, vital signs checks, mealtime monitoring, injections, catheter or ostomy care, and even oxygen or nebulizer use-all for an extra fee. Memory care residents enjoy a structured environment with an open layout, a secure courtyard for fresh air, and regular social activities to encourage connection and movement.
Residents can pick from a range of apartments, including private and shared rooms, companion suites, studios, or one-bedroom units, and every room is handicap accessible, with a walk-in shower and Wi-Fi, plus there's space for pets since the community is pet friendly, and folks with cars have resident parking available too. For dining, a chef offers wholesome meals made from fresh, seasonal ingredients, served in a dining room or at the on-site café with free refreshments, so those wanting a good meal each day have options. The housekeeping and laundry services help keep apartments tidy, and scheduled transportation takes residents to nearby restaurants, shops, or medical appointments for those who want or need to get out and about.
Atria Park of San Mateo has many spaces where residents gather-such as a fitness center, salon, arts and crafts room, library, wellness center, business center, games room, bistro, patios, and worship space-so people can read, exercise, meet for cards, or get haircuts, and there's always a chance to pick up a hobby or make a friend. The Memory Care Neighborhood stays secure but open, letting memory care residents access a gated courtyard and enjoy programs designed to support their needs. The facility is known locally for staff who help cheerfully and treat people kindly, and the routines here try to promote good health and well-being rather than only meeting basic needs, all while staying verified and up-to-date with licensing so families know reviews happen often for protection and peace of mind.
