Our Lady of Peace

Our Lady of Peace is a senior living community in San Mateo, California that offers several types of care, including assisted living, memory care, skilled nursing, independent living, and hospice care, and people can find both private and shared neighborhood homes called residential care homes; these homes have six resident beds, a small and cozy setting, and live-in caregivers who help with daily activities like bathing, dressing, taking medicine, or getting to doctor appointments, and someone staff watches over residents day and night. Residents get chef-prepared meals, special diet options for diabetes and other health needs, and snacks, plus laundry and housekeeping services, regular activities with arts and crafts, spiritual programs, and outings out in the community, and organized exercise classes so people can stay active. The building has safety features-private phone lines, high-speed internet, emergency call systems in every room, private bathrooms, and a garden where folks can relax, and there's a public living area and dining room for everyone to gather. There's a focus on helping seniors stay independent, but staff are always there to give a hand, coordinate with healthcare providers, and manage medication, with plenty of healthcare services, including home health, nursing care, and support ranging from help with incontinence to diabetic care. The place offers non-medical home care too, and has a health library, symptom checker, and community resources on serious topics like opioid use, suicide prevention, and elder abuse. Folks can request help by phone or email about moving in or about care services. The small size gives a more personal, family-like feeling, and the setting-tucked between mountains and the sea-adds a touch of calm. Faith-based events, community awards for friendliness and care, and meals approved by a nutritionist round out a place that aims for comfort, safety, and as much independence as possible, while giving peace of mind to families.
