    About Kimochi Home

    Kimochi Home sits at 1531 Sutter Street in San Francisco and is a non-profit facility that serves seniors, with a strong focus on the Japanese-American community, and you'll find the staff speaking Japanese and serving Japanese meals to help residents feel more at home, which some folks say adds a nice familiar touch, and you'll notice the place has a capacity of around 20 people, so it doesn't feel overly busy or crowded. Residents must be 55 or older and generally need to walk on their own or only with a little help, though the staff do help people move from bed to wheelchair and assist with bathing, dressing, and other needs like medication reminders or two-person transfers, which many families appreciate due to the attentive nature of the staff.

    The care here ranges from basic assisted living, with daily help and meals, up to more specialized memory care, offering a secure, calm place for those with memory loss or cognitive challenges, and there's always someone awake day and night if a resident needs anything, which is especially important for anyone with health concerns, and the care can be even more tailored if someone needs help with things like diabetes or special diets, although staff can watch blood sugar but can't give insulin injections. They offer respite care so someone can stay short-term, which is helpful if a caregiver needs a break, as well as hospice help if required, and their "Nagaiki Caregiver Referral Program" connects families to extra help when it's needed outside of regular staff.

    Kimochi Home has its name on some of its unique programs - the Kimochi Lounge for social times and relaxation, plus a Senior Center Activities program so folks don't sit alone all day, and a Community Dining Program that gives residents three home-cooked meals a day, with Japanese dishes common and diet changes available for health. There's transportation for trips to doctor visits, shopping, and spiritual services, with staff handling the scheduling, and there's a van for outings or scenic drives, which tends to brighten spirits. The recreational programs include music therapy, art activities, games like bingo, singing, chair exercises, occasional book room use, movies in an entertainment room, and visits from pets, though there's sometimes no set activity schedule depending on staffing or season.

    The building itself always aims to feel peaceful and comfortable, and you'll find things like a barber shop, a health or spa area, a library, garden spots, indoor rooms for talking or relaxing, and spaces for physical activity, though most things are designed for safety, independence, and dignity so even those 90 and older feel welcome. The environment offers 24-hour supervised care, including for residents who can't move around easily, and the staff helps folks go safely in and out of the bath or handle other private needs. Families often find relief knowing the staff provides meals, gentle care, and social options to ease loneliness.

    Kimochi Home has a "Kimochi San Mateo" location for assisted living, plus Home Delivered Meals for folks who live nearby but aren't residents, as well as an Adult Day Program that gives a safe place and care for several hours each day if full-time living isn't needed, making it easier for families to have options as needs change. The community has always tried to keep a warm, welcoming atmosphere with programs shaped by Japanese traditions, and many residents and families say they feel heard and understood, even as care stays straightforward and not fancy.
