Yesteryear House Residential sits in the middle of Hayward Park in San Mateo, California, and you'll find it in two remodeled buildings with big, bright rooms that feel much like home, and bedrooms have sliding glass doors leading right out to landscaped patios and private backyards where folks can sit with family or friends and get some sun or fresh air. The staff stays on-site around the clock, offering help with personal tasks and housekeeping, so people always have someone nearby if they need anything, and caregivers have experience with assisted living, nursing care, and memory care for folks with different needs. Residents can pick between cozy private rooms with their own bathrooms and wheelchair accessible showers, and there are always communal areas inside and outside, including common spaces for gatherings, a homey well-furnished living area, and a big dining hall where everyone has meals together, sharing conversation over meals that are cooked on-site.
The facility encourages residents to keep busy and stay independent, so there's a dedicated activities director who runs daily games, exercise groups, community outings, and even trips to the park, and pets are allowed, so people and their animal companions can stay together. Residents have access to services like beauty and barber amenities, a beautician who comes for facials, waxing, and permanent makeup, and transportation options including complimentary rides for errands or appointments. There's on-site and off-site activities, plus special support for those who need hospice, non-ambulatory care, high acuity care, and incontinence care. The staff also helps families figure out long-term care, offering free consultations, local expert guidance, education, and support along the way, as well as connections to other senior living choices as needs may change. The whole place focuses on making sure people don't feel isolated, so there are spaces for family gatherings rather than being stuck in bedrooms, and the rooms themselves are clean, quiet, and meant to feel like home. Yesteryear House Residential has a service rating of 4.6 out of 5 from families and residents, and they've set things up to encourage everyone to stay active, social, and comfortable, while offering all the health care services and amenities expected in a residential care home, including meals, laundry, personalized care, and even counseling for elderly issues if needed.
