Cadence Millbrae sits across from Green Hills Park and is close to downtown Millbrae, set in a mid-rise building with Spanish-style architecture and modern touches that help the place feel welcoming and bright, and you'll notice it's undergoing a full renovation to make the spaces even nicer. Staff's available around the clock to help with daily tasks like grooming, bathing, getting dressed, using the restroom, and just making sure folks stay safe, especially for those with memory loss, since the entire community is purpose-built and secured for memory care, with special areas for residents at risk of wandering or showing difficult behaviors. There's a dedicated memory care section in its own building, with specialized staff like nurses (RNs and LPNs), medication care techs, and behavioral care teams ready for health checks, reminders, and support for heavy care needs, including lifts, diabetic care, incontinence support, and hospice if needed, and they use technology like alarmed bracelets so residents don't get lost. People can bring their cats and dogs, and the community offers pet-focused programs along with pet therapy, which is good if animals bring you comfort.
You'll find various room types, like studios and one-bedrooms, ranging from about 225-490 square feet, and rooms include features like kitchenettes, wheelchair-accessible showers, private dining, WiFi, cable, and some even have patios or garden views, and average prices start around $3,795 for a semi-private and $5,495 for a memory care studio, with a $5,000 entry fee. Residents can eat restaurant-style meals any time, with fresh ingredients and many options-gluten-free, vegan, organic, low-fat, or whatever's needed for health reasons-and there's always someone to help with pills or special diets. The facility provides housekeeping, laundry, and linen services, and there's staff to help clean private rooms too.
Cadence Millbrae has a big bistro, a community theater, art rooms, a third-floor lounge with sunny views, and both indoor and outdoor gathering spaces, so you can enjoy planned activities like exercise in the Forever Fit program, music with Melody & Masterpiece, gardening, bingo, community service, lectures, religious or devotional meetings, trips out and about, and even karaoke, plus fun therapy programs for movement, pets, and even virtual travel. Residents use the library, do crafts, play games, or watch movies in the media room, and there's a beautician onsite. Care focuses on sticking with you, so if your needs change, you won't have to move, and staff is known for staying a long time, building strong connections with those living there. Security and safety are always in place, with checks on doors and help points throughout. If you need to go shopping or get to appointments, complimentary and on-demand transportation is available, or you can park your own car.
Cadence Millbrae welcomes people seeking independent living, assisted living, or full memory care, and they have therapies for rehabilitation, occupational support, and physical wellness, plus programs like Memories in Motion, Pawsitive Health for animal lovers, Starlight Shows, and technology for staying active. There's a strong sense of community, with special programs to keep folks engaged, and religion and spirituality have a place for those who want it. Amenities and daily routines aim to make life safe, social, and as simple or supported as you need, without taking away independence, and you'll find both private and group activities that help everyone feel a sense of purpose and connection. Cadence Millbrae's recognized locally for friendly care and for keeping up good community involvement. It operates under State License 415601039.
