Review for Cadence Millbrae by Cogir

I would recommend but like I said, all of the places can just be sad. I plan to go for a long sail with a bottle of pills if I ever lose my memory. They were fine. Places are just all a little depressing. We picked them because of the location, activities, outdoor space and single room options

Review for Cadence Millbrae by Cogir

I get it, these places are what they are, but it is clear that the place has suffered from ongoing turnover issues, and a gaping hole in leadership. Anything I wanted to get done required MULTIPLE follow-ups on my part. I can give you a laundry list of issues... regularly coming across staff members asleep in common areas, lack of a resident manual, having to clean her new apartment before she moved in because the windows were disgusting and the refrigerator had not been properly cleaned...

Cadence Millbrae

It is a nice place but too expensive. The staff were good. The issue was more of my problem. However, I did notice a turnover in management. It was noteworthy. Also, Cadence is not purely a memory care facility and the services/activities were a bit much resulting in a higher price than I needed to pay for.

Our Experience

I was very happy with Moms care in the memory center of Cadence. The meals are hard to evaluate because the memory care section needs to usually be ground or softened, but they were very good about getting the clients in the lunch room on time. I was unable to evaluate the laundry service. I came every week to 3 days to gather up her clothes to wash and bring back. Housekeeping was there every day cleaning in the morning. The place was clean in my experience. Moms bed linen was clean. They always called me if she fell or there was any other incident. She was well supervised Their billing was a little bit hard to understand, but they just went from one system to another last year. I would suggest that any new family visit weekly and get to know the care givers. This always brings about better communication.

Review for Cadence Millbrae

I'm happy with the outcome. I still worry about her, but not as intently. I know she's safe and I will be contacted if something is not right. Peace of mind. We picked this community because of the availability, location. I was impressed with the demeanor of the staff. I was in a bad situation with Mom's care and had to act.

My loved one is a resident at Cadence Millbrae in the Memory Care unit. The facility is very friendly and approachable at all levels. The staff that do the actual care for the patients are great, attentive and communicative. The meals are okay. I would recommend Cadence Millbrae as a place to check out and see if it is a good fit for their family member.

What sticks out to me about this facility is the people and their patience with my dad. He's a bit of a handful.

Very Acceptable

There are some housekeeping issues I would like to see addressed. It took them a while to wash my loved one's sheets. And now two of her pillows are missing. Sometimes her laundry is not washed. So I'm not sure about the housekeeping. But the staff in general are very friendly. They keep up with her hygiene and are good about giving her baths and washing her hair. So far so good with that. She says the food is good. They have activities - things like games, scenic rides twice a week, etc. Overall I would recommend the place and am very impressed with it.

Tour of Cadence Millbrae

I visited Cadence Millbrae and the tour was great - they have an awesome facility that's very beautiful. I told them what my budget was when I visited, and they let me know that they were building a new memory care facility adjacent to the current community. They didn't have any availability when I toured, but said they would when the new building opened in November. They gave me a call when it opened, and I asked them to run their rates back to me. They then informed me that the new building would be several thousand more per month. I was not interested in paying for their new building. I talked to my Senior Living Advisor from A Place for Mom and let him know that this was a bait and switch situation; that was an immediate turn-off. I also went in with a list of about 10 questions; some of them they couldn't answer, which made me a little nervous. If their experiences haven't allowed them to answer my questions, why am I looking at that community?

Good Experience

Overall, it's a good service. They're a good provider for my friend and people in his situation. It's a newly renovated, beautiful facility, both on the interior and exterior. It's roomy and clean, and a calming environment. There's a big TV screen for the people. The staff brought cookies by for the residents the other day when I was there. The staff seems fine overall. Sometimes I can smell urine in the hallways though. And the cost is very high, higher than we were expecting. But overall those are minor things. Especially after looking at other places, Cadence is a good choice.

my review Cadence Millbrae

we toured this community and it was very nice. our issue is that we asked to see the memory care unit and they would not allow us to and provided no explanation why. It was also higher priced than other communities in our area.

This used to be named Greenhills Marymount where my parents used to stay. They have nurses onsite which are great if you need them. It's affordable but the facilities including the dining options are not that great.
