Burlingame Senior Home sits at 922 Capuchino Ave, Burlingame, CA 94010, and offers care in a small, residential setting for up to six seniors, so there's always a manageable group and people can get to know each other over time, which makes things feel pretty personal. The facility welcomes older adults and people with disabilities, including those needing help with daily tasks like bathing, dressing, transfers, and medication management. There's always someone around since the staff provides 24-hour supervision, with nurse call systems at every bed, so residents can get help quickly if they need it, and the administrator is Fereshteh "Faye" Ehsanipour, who oversees everything to make sure care is consistent.
Burlingame Senior Home covers assisted living, personal care services, and even specialized support through their Dementia Waiver for folks with cognitive changes and a Hospice Waiver for end-of-life comfort, and they're licensed for non-ambulatory care, helping people who have trouble getting around. Meals are provided on schedule, and staff can adjust meal times and food to fit each person's needs, including Kosher, vegetarian, or allergy-sensitive choices, and residents can use the kitchenettes if they want to do a little cooking themselves. Each room, whether private or semi-private, has a private bath and accessible shower, and there's always an eye on safety with emergency alert systems, fire and theft alarms, a sprinkler system, and a fully secure environment.
There's a big focus on health and wellness too, so residents can join activities in the game room, fitness center, salon, or walk the outdoor paths and gardens, and if a resident likes social time, the common indoor and outdoor areas are set up for conversation and get-togethers. There are also devotional activities, community-sponsored programs, and outings offsite, all designed to help people stay active and social. Residents can use free transportation and parking if they need to run errands or want to go somewhere, and staff handles things like housekeeping, laundry, room maintenance, and dry cleaning.
The health services menu includes supports like diabetic care, high acuity needs, incontinence care, behavioral health learning, and a health library with information about medications and common health topics. There are also community resource links for elder abuse, fall prevention, and disaster mental health, and support for opioid concerns, showing that the facility keeps an eye on the bigger picture even beyond basic care.
Burlingame Senior Home aims to keep things adaptable, providing flexible activities tailored to what residents enjoy or need, and updates care plans regularly, usually every six months or sooner if something changes. For short stays, there's a respite program too, useful if someone only needs help for a little while. Everything is fully handicap accessible, making sure people who use walkers, wheelchairs, or other devices can get around easily, and all areas, inside or out, are designed so residents can relax comfortably. Both the Capuchino Ave and Quesada locations fit this homely, small-scale care approach.
