Heritage Villa - CLOSED

Heritage Villa at 526 Anita Lane in Millbrae, California, was a residential care home that provided both assisted living and memory care for seniors, and this place had a small, close-knit setting that could house up to six residents, so people got to know each other and the caregivers well, and people living there got help with things like dressing, bathing, grooming, and moving around, plus staff managed medications and offered support round the clock, and there were meal services with three home-cooked meals each day using organic ingredients when possible, and folks could choose dietary changes if needed, so there was a nice kitchen in each unit, private suites or shared rooms, private bathrooms, full furniture, air-conditioning, and cable TV, and telephone and internet services were available for everyone. The home had a safe yard, a reading room, a jacuzzi, steam room, fitness area, and a hair salon or parlor, and there were activities arranged like movie nights, music and fitness classes, art programs, board games, and pet therapy, offering something to do to help everyone stay active and happy. Memory care was a strong focus, so people with Alzheimer's and other types of dementia got their own special activities in a safe place, and staff wanted to help prevent wandering or confusion whenever possible, and respite care let families take a short break while staff cared for their loved one. The care team was attentive, even doing things like nail polishing and social chats to help residents feel good, and they provided transportation for doctor's appointments, errands, or church visits, plus there was a mobile barber or hairdresser for grooming, and everyone got clean linens and housekeeping. The home was located in a busy neighborhood in Millbrae, with features like 24-hour supervision, emergency calls, and a nurse on staff for extra safety, and there were regular updates from the administrator, and staff were good at connecting with residents, including those with hearing difficulties. Heritage Villa offered activities and meals on-site, with some programs held offsite and devotional services available for those who wanted them. The care included help for people with diabetes and wound care, plus the home offered short-term stays for recovery or when caregivers needed rest. Heritage Villa and related names like Elle's Care Home II and Millbrae Manor Residential Care were all part of the same care community, but the Heritage Villa facility has now closed.
